News that will have TOC owner groups quaking in their boots.
DafT is advertising for a new Commercial Negotiator.
Alongside all the guff about managing a team of Franchise Managers, negotiating Variations and advising Ministers the ad glibly states that the Commercial Negotiator will "be responsible for authorisation of contractual payments of c.£400million each year".
And the salary?
A massive £86k (plus Civil Service benefits)!
So accountable for £400million a year and the salary is less than £90k?
The Fact Compiler thinks such an important role is probably worth a bit more than this. And he can almost guarantee that there won't be a queue of senior TOC or ROSCO people, experienced in such commercial negotiations, willing to apply for the job as "poacher turned gamekeeper".
Perhaps DafT hopes they'll do it for Love?
