The newly created department 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 thrive.

We are recruiting for Senior Policy Advisers in the Competition and Goods Policy Team within the Trade Negotiations Group.
