Overview
Role summary As a Senior Standards Systems and Process Manager (known internally as Senior Standards Manager), you will manage end-to-end processes on the lifecycle of railway standards effectively and efficiently, acting as the single point of contact for internal and external stakeholders. In addition, you will lead the use of RSSB’s content management tool (Component Content Management System - CCMS). Team summary One of RSSB’s functions is to develop railway standards on behalf of the railway industry in Great Britain. Standards are an agreed way of doing something. They support the railway to function as a whole system, help manage risks, open markets, and reduce costs as the industry does not have to keep reinventing the wheel. The Standards Management, Policy and Strategy team leads three workstreams to support the development of railway standards: The ‘standards management’ workstream looks after and implements the governance arrangements for developing standards and monitors compliance. It also develops, manages, and seeks continuous improvement of internal policies, processes, and procedures. The ‘standards delivery’ workstream leads on economic assessments and supports the development of business cases to change standards. It also provides technical expertise on regulatory policy to projects and cross-industry committees. The ‘policy and strategy’ workstream sets the strategic direction for the future development of standards. Its expertise in regulatory policy helps influence changes to legislation related to standards. It works closely with industry bodies like the Department for Transport (DfT) and the Office of Rail and Road (ORR). In this role, you will be part of the standards management workstream.
