I couldn’t be happier that you have taken the time to read this candidate pack and are considering a future career in Transport for Greater Manchester.
As you may have read in the job advert, we are a transport authority who not only have very significant ambition, but we deliver on our ambitions. From running the UK’s largest Tram network to Bus Franchising to Contactless Ticketing to award winning transport interchanges to cycling and walking and highway management we do it all and we deliver what we say we will deliver .
The job that we undertake in Commercial Services is at the heart of all that. We don’t run the transport network, we pay suppliers to run it for us and that is why forming, tendering and managing contracts is not just interesting, it is mission critical for us and the travelling public of greater Manchester
In the June 2025 Spending Review, the Government backed TfGM’s vision with £2.5bn to be invested in the Greater Manchester transport network over the next few years and the opportunities that gives are profound.
From Bus electrification to expansion of Metrolink and increasing involvement in the regional railways, Commercial will be key to how we maximise value for money and I hope you want to find out more about how you can come and work with us.
I am incredibly proud of the work we do at TfGM and we are always on the look out for great commercial talent to help us deliver more and to be more effective. In this candidate pack you will find out more about TfGM, how to apply, what our recruitment process looks like and the opportunity for you to grow your career.
We hope to be meeting you in the not-too-distant future!
Frank Tudor
Commercial Services Director
