**Job summary**:
Trade sanctions is a high-profile area which sits at the heart of DBT’s business and trade agenda and across DBT’s domestic and international interests. DBT works with UK businesses and with domestic and international partners to support the UK’s global sanctions and economic deterrence objectives. Sanctions is a key priority for Ministers across several Government departments, with whom we work in close partnership on shared policy and implementation objectives.

In the aftermath of the illegal attack on Ukraine by the Russian government, Ministers announced the creation of a new permanent Trade Sanctions unit, called the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI). OTSI’s objective is to enhance the impact of the UK’s trade sanctions regimes by helping businesses to understand and comply with trade sanctions and it will have a new civil enforcement toolkit to help it take agile and proportionate action against sanctions breaches, including issuing civil monetary penalties.

As part of a newly forming team, you will have the opportunity to help shape its remit and culture, ensuring that the team delivers on this high-profile area of trade policy.

**Job description**:
This is an exciting time to join OTSI - you will be helping to set up and work within a team responsible for delivering trade sanctions licensing.
- The initial phase of the role will involve leading project set up tasks, which will include implementing new documentation and processes and establish best practices.
- The role will also involve developing a very good understanding of UK trade sanctions legislation combined with practical problem solving.
- You will help develop new intelligence and information flows for your team, and own and deliver projects that assist in developing the team’s capability to enable it to support OTSI Licensing objectives.
- You will need to be able to analyse documents and decide whether they meet the legal and process requirements. This includes making a judgement on whether additional information is required or whether it needs escalation. You will require good attention to detail and be able to analyse information quickly and efficiently.
- You will need to be able to communicate effectively with a variety of stakeholders in different ways depending on the situation including handling difficult or sensitive situations. You will need good written skills.
- There may be opportunities to manage/supervise the work of EOs in the team.

**Person specification**:
**Essential Criteria**
- Making effective decisions: proven ability to confidently make robust decisions and where applicable, support those you supervise to do so. This will include weighing up complex evidence from a range of sources and ensuring decisions are in line with legal and procedural requirements.
- Managing a Quality Service: proven ability to work effectively in a team and take ownership of tasks allocated to you.
- Delivering at Pace: excellent attention to detail is a must, along with evidence of prioritising skills, flexibility, managing risks and excellent organisation.
- Communicating and Influencing: evidence of communicating effectively with a range of stakeholders from government colleagues to businesses to international counterparts.

**Personal Attributes & Skills**
- Are comfortable working with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders and an excellent team player.
- Have experience of working in an operational team or customer service environment.
- Able to think in an objective and analytical manner - you will be able to assess complex information from a variety of sources to draw conclusions.
- Able to make confident, high-quality recommendations based on the available evidence and in line with guidance and the law.
- Are motivated by being a core member of a high performing team to deliver an effective and responsive service.
- Are excited by the prospect of being part of the set-up phase of OTSI and developing and refining the licensing function.

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

- Managing a Quality Service
- Making Effective Decisions
- Delivering at Pace
- Communi
