**Job summary**:
The Department for International Trade (DIT) is responsible for facilitating UK trade across the world by promoting and financing international trade and investment.

DIT’s objectives are to secure free trade agreements and reduce market access barriers ensuring consumers and businesses can benefit; encourage economic growth across the UK via attracting and retaining trade and investment; support UK businesses to take full advantage of trade opportunities, and champion the rules-based multilateral trading system, including protecting UK firms from unfair trade practices.

This is an exciting time to join the Department as we promote British trade and investment across the world. This is important work and is vital to UK prosperity.

This includes providing UK _thought leadership _as part of its WTO membership, the G7 and the G20 and other multilateral trade fora. It also involves delivering DIT’s analytical work to inform UK interests and responses to the type of foreign state-led _market distorting practices _and economic distorting activities that other countries employ, how it affects UK interests and how we might respond to it through discussions about reform of the global trading system.

This role is an exciting opportunity to help shape and lead the delivery of an ambitious and diverse analytical programme to support UK influence and membership of the rules-based multilateral trading system and help defend the UK against harmful trading practices.

**Job description**:
