  • At least 3 years of professional experience in technical positions involving analysis, management, or execution of projects.
  • Ability to synthesize and elaborate public policy proposals, positioning documents, and technical arguments.

Nice to have

  • Demonstrable experience in the field of public policy, urban mobility, and transport, beyond the general project management experience already required.
  • Knowledge of the regulatory, normative, and strategic framework of sustainable urban mobility, including PMUS, SUMP, ZBE, and other mobility planning and management instruments.
  • Ability to interpret and use technical evidence (mobility studies, demand models, emission and air quality indicators) in the elaboration of proposals and arguments, without requiring direct use of modeling or GIS tools, although this will also be positively valued.
  • Experience working with public administrations, especially city councils and other local or regional administrations.
  • Experience in public participation processes, technical working groups, or spaces for dialogue with different stakeholders.

The role

The Public Policy Area is looking to incorporate a person into the transport and mobility policy projects team, with an eminently technical profile specialized in sustainable urban mobility.

What you'll do

The selected person will provide support in the analysis, monitoring, and technical development of projects and public policy proposals related to the decarbonization of transport, the sustainable transformation of mobility, and the improvement of air quality, especially in the urban sphere, at local, regional, national, and European levels, incorporating a just transition approach.

  • Analysis and monitoring of public policies, standards, regulation, strategies, and plans at European, national, regional, and local levels.
  • Elaboration of public policy proposals, positioning documents, and technical arguments oriented towards advocacy before different stakeholders.
  • Elaboration of technical reports, diagnostics, analyses, indicators, proposals, and contributions for public consultation processes and working groups.
  • Technical interlocution with city councils, public administrations, sector entities, social organizations, and other relevant stakeholders.
  • Support in the design, planning, development, and technical monitoring of projects.
