We offer flexible working benefits, employee well-being support and a great pension. We are fortunate to have a range of staff networks and are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader employer. We support talented people from all backgrounds to build a career and thrive.

**Job description**:
The transfer of data across borders underpins economic activity in every sector of our globalised digital economy, and our wider economic and security cooperation with international partners.

The UK’s ‘Transfer Tools’ framework (A46-49 UK GDPR) sets out the safeguards which organisations need to put in place to ensure UK personal data is properly protected when it goes overseas.

The UK Government has an ambitious global data agenda, and our work on Transfer Tools is at the heart of this agenda. There is the opportunity for the UK to show global leadership, by designing innovative Transfer Tools that safeguard individuals’ data but are cost effective and efficient for businesses to implement.

This role will be responsible for ensuring the UK’s current international transfers regime is fit-for-purpose, and working closely with the Information Commissioner’s Office as a delivery partner and with others within DSIT and across Whitehall.

This role will require you to engage with and form relationships across industry and civil society, to build understanding of key issues. It will also require collaborative working with legal and analytical teams to ensure a robust evidence base for policy development.

You will need to display political sensitivity and confidence in working with Ministers, senior officials, and external stakeholders. You will also need to be able to present complex legal and technical issues clearly and concisely, deal with competing priorities at pace, and develop well evidenced policy advice.

You will have the opportunity to develop your experience across policy design and implementation, strategic stakeholder management, analysis and use of evidence.

This is an exciting opportunity that will offer development opportunities in a fascinating area for government. We are looking for someone who is a proven strategic thinker, comfortable with developing policy; and managing multiple often conflicting interests.

**Person specification**:
Set the UK’s long-term strategy for international Transfer Tools, ensuring the UK’s current Transfer Tools list is fit-for-purpose, and exploring options for the development and implementation of new transfer tools.

Work across the Data Policy Directorate to ensure the reforms to the UK’s international transfers regime introduced by the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill are successfully implemented.
