About Us:  

 

Transport for London (TfL) stands at the forefront of using data and analytics to optimise transport systems, enhance customer experiences, and influence the future of urban mobility. Aligned with TfL's strategy, our mission is to build a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable transport network.

Our Data Products: 

 

Imagine the vast data landscape within TfL and the range of data products that could emerge. We're seeking individuals with a knack for data to work on various data products, with an initial emphasis on projects that enable our colleagues across TfL to make more informed decisions throughout the network. 

 

These products span diverse areas: 

  • Aggregating performance data from our network to facilitate reporting to our executive committee and address customer concerns proactively. 

  • Streamlining our bus data into a shared platform to support bus network planning, maintenance, and performance assessment. 

  • Integrating data for Road User Charging (RUC) to report on activity within London's ultra-low emission zone.

  • Assume ownership over designated systems within the Data and Analytics domain, adhering to Agile principles. This encompasses maintaining the product backlog, defining acceptance criteria, sequencing, and prioritising stories, and ensuring clear developer understanding.
  • Emerge as the product's ambassador and domain expert. 
  • Collaborate closely with the development team to prioritise the product backlog in line with business requirements, ensuring valuable releases within approved budgets. 
  • Oversee the sequencing and prioritisation of work alongside technical delivery managers and other delivery teams, preventing conflicts in integration points and release schedules.
