ATOC Manager – Regulation

ATOC is the national voice of the UK’s passenger train companies, representing operators’ interests to policy makers, stakeholders and the wider rail industry. An exciting opportunity has arisen within the policy directorate to influence the future of Britain’s rail industry.

With a remit to establish and advance ATOC positions on the regulation and structure of the rail industry this role will engage on key areas including; ORR’s approach to the regulation and enforcement of licence conditions, the contractual framework that governs Network Rail and improvements to the regulatory framework for stations and depots. An essential part of this role is to develop strong consensus across ATOC members on regulatory policy issues and be responsible for writing persuasive position papers and consultation responses that get the message across to ORR and DfT. In addition the Manager for Regulation will be expected to act as secretariat to ATOC groups dealing with track access policy.

To successfully fulfil the demands of this post you will need experience in regulation, business consultancy or analysis ideally, but not necessarily, in the rail or transport sector. The new Manager, Regulation will either have good knowledge of the UK rail industry contractual framework including access and franchise agreements or be ready to acquire this within a few months of joining and an understanding of wider rail and transport policy issues would be an advantage as well. A strong written and oral communicator, you will be a highly numerate graduate, possibly with a Master’s in economics or law. Candidates with experience gained in other regulated sectors in the UK and an interest in transport will be considered.

Both roles are based at the ATOC head office in London WC1 and offer competitive salary & benefits package, including a final salary pension and rail travel facilities.
