Darlington, United Kingdom Department of International Trade Full time

The Department for International Trade plays a critical role in the UK Government’s approach to ensuring supply chain resilience in the UK’s supply chains. The Global Supply Chains Directorate leads on ensuring resilience in critical supply-chains, assessing vulnerabilities and actions to be taken to secure resilience. We work to strengthen the long-term resilience of the UK’s critical international non-food supply chains, improving our national security and economic resilience through international trade.

We do this by:

- Strengthening our understanding and monitoring of the UK's critical supply chains
- Designing policies and guiding interventions to strengthen the long-term resilience of global supply chains
- Creating and supporting international efforts to strengthen the resilience of critical supply chains

We are looking for a strong strategic thinker to join our Strategy and Policy Team. Our team’s role is to oversee HMG’s forward-looking view of risk relating to global supply chain vulnerabilities, by working across Whitehall and industry to inform strategic decision making at the highest levels in government.

We do this by:

- Design and develop policy levers, and guide HMG’s actions to strengthen the resilience of the supply chains that are critical to the UK’s priorities for economic growth and national security, as set out in the Integrated Review and the Plan for Growth
- Ensure global supply chain insight, understanding and expertise informs HMG’s strategy and policy priorities, including foreign policy
- Drive HMG work to understand and tackle the supply chain implications of global challenges, such as climate change

Supply chain resilience is a priority for businesses and governments alike. Many governments are taking steps to bolster their national supply chain resilience and the postholder will have a key role in influencing and shaping the UK’s approach to this significant economic security priority area. Supply chain resilience is a fast-moving policy environment, and we are looking for someone who has the ability to both see the big picture and get to grips with the policy detail to demonstrate their leadership, develop others (including through line management opportunities) and leverage their stakeholder management skills to deliver genuine impact in a role that offers the opportunity to get to work on intellectually stimulating high-profile policy issues.

**Job description**
- Develop comprehensive, evidence-based strategies to address vulnerabilities or risk to the UK’s supply chain resilience ambitions
- Work with other government departments to implement mitigations which ensure supply chain resilience for the UK
- Develop and embed a dynamic and forward-looking view of risk of global supply chain vulnerabilities across government, and work with our analysts to assess the risk to supply chain resilience, building that into further supply chain analysis where necessary
- Work collaboratively with stakeholders to identify relevant policies and strategies in DIT and across HMG to incorporate supply chains resilience principles and methodology
- Lead the directorate’s communications to ensure that engagement with Ministers, senior officials and other stakeholders is coordinated, consistent, coherent and effectively delivered and that HMGs supply chain resilience work is well understood by internal and external audiences
- Contribute to the sharing of expertise and building of capability as line manager to their team and the directorate
- The postholder will have line management responsibility and will coach for high performance and provide opportunities for staff to develop

**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**
- Proven, effective stakeholder influencing, management and collaboration and experience of delivering through others
- Ability to think strategically and see the big picture
- Strong oral and written communications skills, with the ability to articulate complex ideas in a way that is convincing and compelling
- Experience of strategy or policy in previous roles and ability to make connections with multiple strands of work to improve overall outcomes

**Desirable Criteria**
- Experience of working across-Whitehall
- Experience of working with Ministers and their Private Offices
- Trade policy knowledge and experience

**Personal Attributes & Skills**

We are looking for a collaborative, creative and strategic thinker who has confidence to engage with a range of stakeholders and makes a strong persona
