**Job summary**:
The newly created 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 thrive.

Climate change is driving the biggest and fastest global industrial transformation ever seen - a change that will impact the business environment and international trade for decades. We need to help ensure UK businesses are well-placed to take advantage of the commercial opportunities from the global green transition and that DBT’s wider work is aligned with the Government’s climate policy ambitions.

We are therefore recruiting a Grade 7 team lead, within our climate strategy team, who will work to bring strategic coherence to DBT’s work on the climate agenda. This role sits at the heart of the department in the Ministerial Strategy Directorate working in DBT’s Global Futures Group - an internal thinktank and 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:

- liaising across Whitehall - particularly with colleagues in the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero - to ensure policy alignment;
- overseeing DBT’s internal governance arrangements on climate change - coordinating work across all seven Director General areas;
- scanning the horizon for new environmental policy issues that either pose a risk or opportunity for the UK economy, and coming up with innovative policy solutions in response.

You will be joining the department at an exciting time, given the recent machinery of government changes, so the role offers considerable scope to influence strategy and policy for the better.

Please note: This role sits within the new Department for Business and Trade, which was created in February 2023 following the merger of the former Department for International Trade (DIT) with the business-focused teams from the former Department for Business, Industrial Strategy and Energy (BEIS). Any references to the Department for International Trade on the Government Recruitment System and civilservicejobs.gov.uk will soon be updated to refer to the Department for Business and Trade.

For this role, the Department will not consider sponsoring a visa or issuing a Certificate of Sponsorship. Please note we are unable to offer advice on any Visa and Immigration cases.

**Job description**:
This role will involve the following key functions:

- ** 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, FCDO and Cabinet Office. You will also develop close working relationships with DBT’s cadre of strategy, policy and analytical teams to join up activity across the department on climate change and ensure DBT has a strong external narrative. This will include overseeing DBT’s internal governance structures for work on climate change, such as the Director-level steering board.
- ** 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 policy insights to help develop policy, which you will deliver with the support of the team.
- ** People Management and Leadership**: You will directly manage one SEO, work closely with the other Grade 7 Climate Strategy Team Lead, and manage cross-cutting projects within the team on a matrix management basis.

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 DBT 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 salary.

DBT will cover travel costs/expenses to any office which is not your usual office location in line with departmental expenses policy. DBT will not cover commuting costs to your agreed office location.
