**Job summary**:
This is an exciting time to join the Department for International Trade (DIT). The work we do has a real impact on jobs and growth across the United Kingdom. Our mission is to help businesses export, drive inward and outward investment, negotiate market access and trade deals, and to advocate free trade. We are an international department based in 108 countries, and we work closely with our colleagues worldwide.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and diligent policy advisor in the Competition and Goods Team for this fast-paced, high-profile area, supporting Departmental priorities to secure world class free trade agreements (FTAs) and protect UK businesses from unfair practices. The role will be in the Trade & Competition sub-team, where we work to ensure open and fair competition for UK businesses by developing policy and negotiating commitments with trading partners on subsidies, state-owned enterprises and competition policy.

This is a fast paced and exciting area of policy. You will need to be proactive, dynamic, able to balance competing priorities and problem-solve. While you do not need specific knowledge of trade policy or the regulatory environment, you will need to become an expert quickly. You will also need to be able to express highly technical and sophisticated arguments in a manner that is easy for non-experts to understand. You will need to confidently collaborate with Government

departments and businesses to identify UK interests, leverage support for policy positions, and help formulate UK strategy for negotiations and other international engagement.

We have an ambitious programme of trade negotiations, so you may work on negotiations with several countries - sometimes simultaneously. You may also work to advance the UK’s interests across international fora including the World Trade Organization, G7, G20 and bilateral engagement with other governments.

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

**Job description**:
This is a stretching role for an advisor supporting DIT in FTA negotiations and multilateral policy work. They will be supported in doing this by their line manager, colleagues in our expert and specialised team as well as by country, analytical, legal and sectoral experts in the wider Department.

Key accountabilities include:

- Help develop trade policy that is consistent with the UK’s domestic and international priorities. Create an evidence-base for positions, including for country-specific negotiations or bilateral/multilateral engagement.
- Work closely with colleagues across Government to develop joined up policy and ensure analysis of information from a wide variety of sources.
- Develop a deep understanding of negotiation and policy issues, contribute to development of strategies and, in time, potentially participate in trade negotiations or bilateral/multilateral engagement.
- Analyse the needs of businesses and consumers and develop recommendations in a rapidly changing environment.
- Contribute to advice on how technical outcomes from negotiations or bilateral/multilateral work relate to real-world business impacts and communicate this in a way that businesses understand.
- Support writing briefings and other materials related to policy areas for Ministers and senior officials.
- Commission legal and other analytical advice to inform our policy positions.
- Support ensuring that processes are in place to implement commitments in UK law and operational practice.

**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.

**Person specification**:
**Essential Criteria**
- Experience of working with and coordinating decision-making across a wide range of stakeholders with diverse views.
- Ability to compile, assimilate, interpret and present evidence to build options and make recommendations and de
