**About the Group**

**International Group**

Do you want to advise ministers on promoting and protecting the UK’s economy and its competitiveness internationally in a fast-changing environment? If so, read on

International Group provides opportunities to work on areas including - spending control on international development, trade policy, climate change, health, cooperation on Ukraine, economic security, financial sanctions and tackling illicit finance. We also manage economic relationships with Europe, US, China and other advanced economies and emerging markets.

We build relationships with external and international partners and represent the UK in a range of international groupings and institutions, including the G7, the G20, the International Monetary Fund and at some of the Multilateral Development Banks. We also analyse international comparisons and the wider global economic context, including for fiscal events. Although international travel is an important part of some roles, it is not required for every role in the group and will be specified if required.

**About the Team**

The global environment is becoming increasingly turbulent. The pace of change in the global economy is accelerating, and geo-politics and economics are increasingly intertwined, combined with the rapid growth of emerging markets and developing economies. HMT is at the forefront of work to redefine the economic assumptions of recent decades and understand challenges to the global economic order. The **Russia, Ukraine and Economic Security team**is leading work in HMT to respond to these challenges and support the government’s growth mission by ensuring the UK’s long-run growth is built on secure and resilient foundations.

The team is forging deeper relationships with close partners and shaping the international response to an increasingly hostile global environment. It is driving the Chancellor's agenda to deliver secure and resilient growth by developing stronger international partnerships that yield UK growth and security benefits. The team is also focused on improving the UK's capability to respond to emerging threats. It is doing so by working very closely with HMT’s Enterprise and Growth Unit and with colleagues across International Group, FCDO, DBT and CO.

**About the role**

The most important behaviour for these roles is excellent collaboration across team and organisational boundaries. You will work sensitively across teams in HMT to understand their policy needs and translate them into effective plans for international engagement. You will need to demonstrate an aptitude for working in a fast paced and ambiguous policy environment where priorities are not always clear cut.

You will collaborate across government to forge a proactive international agenda for HMT while also delivering international engagement through others. You will lead efforts to build warm and positive relationships with your key contacts and stakeholders on a policy agenda that is at times ambiguous, with the ownership of policy levers distributed across departments. You’ll advise senior officials and ministers on the best approach to delivering their objectives through international engagement.
