[Hiring] Public Policy Manager @dott

Role Description

We're looking for a Public Policy Manager to support our growth in the UK and strengthen our relationships with key stakeholders, including Central Government, Cities, and community partners. This role combines high-level institutional relationship-building with hands-on, detail-oriented execution.

• Build and maintain trust-based relationships with government officials, including DfT, MPs, cities, and other external stakeholders, positioning Dott as a reliable and trusted operator.
• Manage relationships and contracts in Dott’s existing markets, working cross-functionally with operations to help make key decisions on service delivery.
• Own Dott’s contribution to the tender application process end-to-end: defining Dott's strategic positioning, drafting accurate and timely local content, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks ahead of submission deadlines.
• Identify and prioritise expansion opportunities in the UK, and build Dott’s positioning and knowledge of local communities and their priorities.
• Support users and city satisfaction, working with local operations teams on concrete improvement plans.
• Contribute to building a lasting network of partnerships around Dott, in support of the wider team's goals.
• Strategically shape market regulations in line with best-in-class standards.
• Represent Dott at public policy-related local events.
• Research and monitor the political and regulatory landscape in the UK, turning it into clear, actionable reporting for internal stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of experience in public policy/affairs. Experience in the transport and mobility sector is a plus.
• A track record of taking full ownership of projects from start to finish, with a problem-solving attitude and strong attention to detail.
• Experience in external relationships, negotiation, and representation, ideally backed by an established network within city administrations, political parties, non-profit associations, or mobility-related public and private stakeholders.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines and stakeholders without losing precision.
• Strong writing skills in English (correspondence, proposals, etc.).
• A degree in Political Science, Economics, Law, or similar.
• Ability to stay calm under pressure, with sound problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
• A proactive, hands-on attitude — comfortable both setting strategy and personally getting a document or a stakeholder list over the line.
• Event management skills and a genuine passion for green mobility.
• Ability to work well in a cross-functional, multi-cultural environment, across multiple teams simultaneously.
