**Job summary**:
**Summary**

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is the UK government department responsible for safeguarding our natural environment, supporting our world-leading food and farming industry, and sustaining a thriving rural economy. Our broad remit means we play a major role in people's day-to-day life, from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to the water we drink.

**The Northern Ireland Directorate**

Defra’s Northern Ireland (NI) Directorate was formed in January 2021. It consolidates Defra’s strategy, policy and delivery workstreams around the Windsor Framework into one Directorate.

This is a high-profile space to work in. Your role will be instrumental in providing analytical support across Whitehall to help implement, and assess the impact of, the new Windsor Framework. You will lead a multi-disciplinary analytical team providing the evidence base for the NI programme and will be responsible for ensuring that resources are deployed in the most effective way to support policy making and delivery. This role is exciting and stretching with ample development opportunities and will give you a high degree of visibility across both the Directorate and the wider Department.
