**Job summary**:
The UK is operating an independent trade policy for the first time in over 50 years. This is a tremendously exciting time to work in DBT’s Trade Negotiations Group, which is an important enabler for growth, and at the heart of the UK’s relationship with global trading partners.

The Digital Trade and Telecoms team is at the cutting edge of that agenda. As the global economy increasingly shifts towards digital, goods, services and information (including data) are moving between countries more frequently, and easily, than ever before. Firms selling goods or providing services digitally have taken local and national markets to a global scale. The telecommunications sector, which includes mobile, landline, satellite, and internet technologies, provides the infrastructure that enables digital trade and is a major sector for trade and investment in its own right.

The Digital Trade and Telecoms Team’s vision is is for the UK to be a global leader in digital trade, with a network of international agreements that drive investment, productivity and economic growth across the UK. The team delivers that vision through:

- Negotiating modern digital trade and telecoms provisions in Free Trade Agreements and Digital Trade Agreements.
- Working with forward-leaning partners in the World Trade Organization.
- Promoting digital trade and telecoms standards e.g. through the G7, G20, OECD, the UN and international standards bodies.
- Pioneering innovative solutions to digital trade and telecoms through UK thought leadership, engaging with business and wider communications.

The postholder will work closely with a network of contacts within DBT, across Whitehall and in industry, to drive this agenda forward. This is a fast-moving area and the postholders will be expected to flex their work to deliver against departmental priorities.

**Hybrid working**

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. If your office location is London, you will be eligible to receive London weighting.

**Job description**:
The post holder will lead a team to deliver telecommunications negotiations; and telecommunications and digital policy:

- Leading negotiation of telecommunications chapters in a portfolio of Free Trade Agreements, acting as chapter lead.
- Line management responsibility for one SEO and one Fast Stream member of staff.
- Responsibility for UK trade policy on telecommunications. Supported by your team and in partnership with two other telecommunications chapter leads, you will develop UK policy positions and facilitate their deployment in all ongoing FTA negotiations.
- Responsibility for elements of UK digital trade policy, providing cross-cutting support to Digital Chapter leads.
- Managing a complex and diverse stakeholder network, including industry and government departments and taking account of views in policy development.
- Advising and briefing senior officials and ministers on policy issues related to telecommunications and digital trade policy.

**Person specification**:

- Proven ability to demonstrate leadership within their area of professional responsibility.
- Can effectively collaborate with diverse stakeholders to secure desired outcomes, including in situations where actors have different preferences regarding outcomes.
