**Job summary**:
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) oversees the domestic business environment, breaks down international barriers to trade and investment, and helps boost economic growth by ensuring the UK is a country where businesses can succeed.

Climate change is driving the biggest and fastest global industrial transformation seen in a century - a change that will impact the UK economy and international trade for decades. We need to ensure UK businesses are well-placed to adapt, taking advantage of the commercial opportunities from the global green transition and able to thrive in a new economic context. And we need to ensure that DBT’s wider work is aligned with the Government’s climate policy ambitions.

We are therefore recruiting a Senior Strategy Advisor, within our Green Strategy Team, who will take a leading role in ensuring the Department’s strategy is informed by cutting-edge insight on the green transition and that policy design is robust and future focussed. This role sits at the heart of the department working in DBT’s Global Futures Group - a central strategy team focused on driving positive change on long-term issues affecting the UK and global economy.

You will play a multi-functional role in the climate strategy team, including:

- Expanding and embedding the Department’s institutional knowledge base on the links between climate change, the net zero transition and economic growth;
- Scanning the horizon for new environmental policy issues that either pose a risk or opportunity for the UK economy and UK business, and developing innovative policy solutions in response;
- Liaising across Whitehall - particularly with colleagues in DESNZ, HMT and Cabinet Office - to pool insight and ensure policy and strategy alignment.

You will be joining the department at an exciting time, as the Department seeks to build its offer to business across both domestic and international spheres, so the role offers considerable scope to influence strategy and policy for the better.

**Job description**:

- ** Horizon scanning and policy development**:You will have a keen interest in climate and economic policy and pro-actively track the frontiers of thinking to help spot opportunities and risks to the UK. You will seek out new research and insights to help develop strategy and policy, which you will deliver with the support of the team.
- **Collaborating and influencing within DBT and across Whitehall**:You will be active across Whitehall, building networks and representing DBT’s views with other departments, in particular with DESNZ, HMT and Cabinet Office. You will also develop close working relationships with DBT’s strategy, policy and analytical teams to enhance activity across the department on climate change and ensure DBT has a strong external narrative.
- ** People Management and Leadership**: You will directly manage one SEO and manage cross-cutting projects drawing on resource from multiple teams on a matrix management basis.

**Person specification**:
**Skills and experience**

**Essential criteria**
- Experience in climate policy, either within the Civil Service or externally;
- Numerate - comfortable drawing on quantitative and qualitative analysis to make evidence-based arguments.

**Desirable criteria**
- Experience in trade policy, business policy or international macroeconomic policy;
- Line management experience;
- Experience across multiple Government Departments.

**Personal attributes & skills**
- We are looking for a self-starter who is comfortable working in a rapidly developing policy space where uncertainty and change is a feature of the job.
- You will be comfortable using analysis to make compelling evidence-based arguments.
- You will be curious - keen to upskill yourself on new policy areas, look for gaps or flaws in existing policy, and be eager to come up with innovative solutions to help solve them.
- You will be a people person, able to build relationships, inspire and bring people along with you - including where stakeholders are reluctant or have objectives that are at odds with your own.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Seeing the Big Picture
- Leadership
- Communicating and Influencing
