Head of Procurement

About the role

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is the independent economic and safety regulator for Britain’s railways and monitor of performance on England’s strategic road network. This is an exciting time to join ORR as we deliver a significant transformation programme to create a consistently agile and enabling organisation, with the right capability and a strong, inclusive culture that reflects our talented people. This will ensure we continue to operate as an independent, expert regulator, fit for the future and equipped with the capabilities and ways of working required to support sector-wide rail reform, while contributing to the government’s broader agenda on regulatory reform and economic growth.

This role can be based at any of our office locations: London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, York, or Glasgow, but the successful candidate will be expected to travel frequently throughout London and the South East of England. At ORR, we have adopted hybrid working and are currently expected to work from a workplace location for a minimum of two days per week or 40%.
