Are you looking to join an encouraging and friendly team, working on a significant and multifaceted portfolio? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

About the Team

The Energy and Transport Tax (ETT) work at the heart of balancing HM Treasury’s fiscal, economic and environmental objectives. We are responsible for taxes collectively raising around £50bn through transport, oil & gas, energy & carbon and environmental taxes. As a result, our work covers a broad range of high-profile policy areas that get significant amounts of ministerial and public attention, particularly in light of the Government’s Net Zero agenda.

About the role

We are looking for new Head of Transport Tax, working three days a week to form a new jobshare with the incumbent who currently works Monday-Wednesday.

This is an exciting, varied and high profile role with an outstanding combination of a large and stretching leadership role on tax policy. You'll have cross-cutting responsibility for crafting and implementing a strategy for using tax levers to decarbonise the surface transport, aviation and shipping sectors. To give a sense of the scale of the role, at Autumn Budget 2024 the branch had around 15 separate measures, of which 7 appeared on the Budget scorecard.

Key accountabilities

1. Co-lead a team of 5 by building an open, encouraging and inclusive environment. Create and develop a strong, open and effective jobshare partnership which provides clear and consistent leadership and direction to the team alongside an excellent service to Ministers.
2. Engage with teams across HM Treasury and with other government departments to gain consensus on policy options for transport taxation that meet the Government’s and objectives, including fiscal sustainability, net zero and economic growth.
3. Lead on 7 different transport taxes and associated reliefs, working across HM Treasury and HMRC to give Ministers clear, strategic and politically astute advice on potential changes to these taxes, and working delivery partners to implement those changes optimally, including via fiscal events.
4. Lead work to explore practical and politically deliverable options for how the system of motoring taxation might change and adapt as the transport sector decarbonises and transitions from fossil fuels to less emission-intensive sources of power.
5. Together with senior leadership, jointly lead and manage the Energy and Transport Team, providing inspiring, visible and inclusive leadership and contribute actively to making ETT and the wider group a great place to work.

About you

The role would suit someone with a passion for leading inclusive teams and who can grasp sophisticated policy issues. You’ll be able to think strategically and creatively about how to resolve them, deliver effectively through others and skilfully manage relationships with a broad range of different collaborators.
