**Job summary**:
The Department for Business and Trade brings together business expertise and world-class trade negotiators under the vision of making the UK the best place to start and grow a business - driving growth, increasing jobs, and raising wages and living standards.

We have an ambitious programme of trade negotiations, so you will likely work on negotiations with several countries - sometimes simultaneously. There may be a requirement to travel internationally, sometimes for multiple weeks at a time.

Our team is friendly, hardworking and collaborative. We pay special attention to providing training and support needed to allow individuals to achieve and excel. We recognise the importance of professional and personal growth and will encourage you to develop your skills and trade knowledge.

We will keep a reserve list, from which further appointments can be made, for future roles both within this team and elsewhere within the Department.

**Job description**:

- Work with colleagues across Government to analyse information from a wide variety of sources. Develop policy positions that are consistent with UK domestic and emerging international policies.
- Coordinate and contribute to trade negotiations. As confidence grows, participate in negotiations including future in-person international travel.
- Analyse the needs of businesses and consumers and develop negotiation objectives in a rapidly changing environment. Advise how technical outcomes from negotiations relate to real-world business impacts, and communicate this in a way that businesses understand.
- Write briefings and other materials related to policy areas for Ministers and Senior Civil Servants.
- Commission legal and other analytical advice to inform our positions.
- Ensure that processes are in place to implement commitments in UK law and operational practice.

**Person specification**:
**Essential Criteria**
- The ability to analyse information and balance multiple priorities.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to build collaborative relationships and persuade and influence others, working with a wide range of stakeholders inside and outside Government.

**Personal Attributes & Skills**

You do not have to have expertise in Trade Policy for this role - we are particularly looking for people wanting to take their first steps for a career in Trade.

You will need strong interpersonal skills to support work with domestic and overseas colleagues. You will also need to be able to persuade and influence others to create collaborative solutions, sometimes in the face of sustained opposition.

In pursuing your objectives, you will be enthusiastic about developing yourself and others around you. You will prioritise effectively to meet competing needs and support colleagues at critical times. You will be flexible and ready to be redeployed in other roles, taking on new challenges as the team’s goals evolve.

**Hybrid working**

The role will be based in Darlington.

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.

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

- Working Together
- Communicating and Influencing
- Delivering at Pace
- Making Effective Decisions

**Benefits**:

- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%
