**Department for Business and Trade**

**Head of Responsible Business and ESG Policy**

**Reference number**: 353239

**Salary**: £53,560 - £63,481. A Civil Service Pension with an average employer contribution of 27%

**Job grade**:Grade 7

**Contract type**:Permanent

**Working pattern**:Flexible working, Full-time, Job share, Part-time

**Location**: Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Darlington, Edinburgh, London or Salford

Are you passionate about environment, social and corporate governance (ESG) policy issues like tackling climate change, promoting human rights and ending modern slavery?

Do you want to make a meaningful difference working with multinational companies and civil society on how they can contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

Do you enjoy working with international partners to deliver HMG’s priorities on globally significant issues?

Then we’d love to hear from you

The Responsible Business Conduct team has a one-of-a-kind role in leading policy development on a range of high-profile ESG and corporate sustainability issues. We adjudicate on business compliance with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) standards on Responsible Business Conduct, working closely with businesses, civil society, and other governments around the world. WE promote understanding of responsible business and support UK businesses in making improvements to their operations, products, and services to achieve outcomes across the ESG agenda. This includes tackling climate change, ending human rights abuses, and promoting labour rights.

As part of this, the team runs the UK’s internationally renowned National Contact Point (NCP), which promotes the Guidelines to a wide range of business, trade union and civil society stakeholders and handles complaints where enterprises are accused of breaching the Guidelines. Leading this process is challenging but highly rewarding, often resulting in real, positive change from businesses. This office sits within DBT but is operationally independent. The issues in scope can be high-profile and receive significant Parliamentary, media and stakeholder attention.

This is a stretching G7 role, likely suited for an experienced G7 seeking to round off their CV before a step-up or external move to the private sector, or an established ESG manager in the private sector looking to join the Civil Service.

The role sits in a friendly, supportive team. Our Directorate has a fantastic corporate side, with a comprehensive L&D offer, and a strong commitment to wellbeing and Diversity & Inclusion, with regular training and events put on by the Directorate.

**Job description**

The Head of Responsible Business and ESG Policy will:

- Lead HMG’s thinking on the role of businesses in contributing to the full range of UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- Develop the evidence base for responsible business conduct, overseeing delivery of the office’s research priorities on corporate sustainability issues.
- Provide advisory consultancy to FTSE100 companies and SMEs on delivering responsible and sustainable business outcomes.
- Own the office’s corporate engagement, representing the office externally on our approach to ESG issues and effectively shaping the policy debate internationally at key events.
- Ensures that lessons from breaches of the OECD Guidelines inform policy development.
- Lead cross-Whitehall governance on responsible business, bringing departments together to foster collaboration on ESG issues.
- Brief Ministers and senior leadership on key responsible business issues.
- Support on resolving high-profile cases of suspected breaches of the OECD Guidelines

Occasional travel overseas will be required to attend OECD meetings in Paris and other stakeholder meetings on responsible business conduct.

**Person specification**

**Essential criteria**
- A background working on one or more Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) issues, such as human rights, employment rights, or climate change is essential.
- Strong leadership skills, both people management and thought leadership. An ability to bring together disparate functions across Government to develop coherent policy on corporate sustainability.
- Excellent influencing and interpersonal skills
