- Working to identify and develop the role services and digital trade can play in supporting wider DIT and cross-Government objectives, such as economic growth, the UK's climate goals, and levelling-up.
- Working with analysts to identify, scope and deliver projects on innovative aspects of digital and services trade to help continue to build our evidence base.
- Working with communications and press colleagues to ensure DIT's external messaging is credible, persuasive and tangible.
- Develop high-quality briefing for Ministers and senior officials for meeting, speeches, announcements, and press appearances.
Hybrid working
Please be aware that this role can only be worked from within the UK and not overseas.
Informal hybrid working arrangements will be available as agreed with the vacancy manager and in line with the requirements of the role.
Most DIT employees will be working a hybrid pattern, spending 2-3 days a week (pro rata) in an office, on average.
Person specification

- An excellent communicator, able to clearly articulate and justify strategic positions and translate highly technical policy positions or research findings into plain language suitable for external messaging.
- An effective strategic thinker, able to work with others to develop policy recommendations that deliver on the department and government's priorities. Able to drive joinup between different policy teams and prioritise objectives where they compete or are in tension with one another
