**About the job**:
**Job summary**:
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is the department for economic growth. We support businesses to invest, grow and export, creating jobs and opportunities across the country.

The Small Business Growth Directorate supports Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to start, grow and prosper. We lead the Government’s strategic thinking on small business policy to support growth and productivity. The Directorate is also responsible for SME finance, sponsoring both the British Business Bank and the Office of the Small Business Commissioner (which focuses on prompt payments); programmes that support firm level productivity such as our flagship Help to Grow Management scheme; and we look after small firms’ international interests through SME chapters in trade agreements and collaborations with other countries and institutions such as the OECD. We do this through co-ordination, engagement and policy development with relevant teams across Government. We also have a strong embedded analytical function which works right across these areas.

The directorate has established an SME Strategy team to drive progress on this SoS priority. The team’s core purpose will be to lead on strategic thinking on small business policy issues to support growth, productivity and good jobs. We will do this through co-ordination, engagement and policy development with relevant teams across Government.

The role sits within the Analysis, Strategy and International (AS&I) Division of the Small Business Growth Directorate, which is a multi-disciplinary division made up of policy specialists, analysts and trade professionals.

**Job description**:
This is a high profile, fast paced role in a much-scrutinised area of policy with a great deal of senior interest from both Ministers and senior officials. It requires collaboration across DBT and other government departments as well as with a range of external stakeholders.

This SEO role will support policy development across a range of areas affecting SMEs, advocating for the important role SMEs play in the economy. A particular area of focus will be on SME scale-ups policy. Scale-ups (high growth businesses) will play a critical role in the government's Growth Mission. There are around 34,000 scale-ups in the UK, across every sector and locality. Scale-ups contribute £1.4 trillion to the UK economy and create high quality jobs, employing 3.2 million people.

It is envisaged that the SEO will support on policy development but also be given opportunities to own and drive individual pieces of work. Specific responsibilities are likely to include:

- Supporting policy development in relation to SME scale-ups policy, where the strategy team will be required to drive policy thinking at pace, involving research, stakeholder engagement and options analysis;
- Set-up and ongoing smooth management of senior (DG and ministerial) fora, both internally and across-government, to drive decision making;
- Respond to commissions (ministerial briefings, speeches submissions, Parliamentary Questions) related to SMEs;
- Given the rapidly evolving nature of this work, you will need to be comfortable with adapting to change if needed.

**Person specification**:
**Essential criteria**

This role would generally suit someone who has:

- Excellent written and oral communication skills;
- Ability to develop policy from idea to implementation;
- Ability to manage workload to meet deadlines and deliver at pace;
- Ability to build and maintain relationships as well as influence stakeholders, e.g., across DBT, Whitehall and with external stakeholders; this includes collaboration with operational teams (e.g., analysts) across DBT;
- Strong organisational skills, including the ability to manage project plans and support governance (e.g., preparing agendas, minute taking).

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Leadership
- Delivering at Pace
- Communicating and Influencing
- Seeing the Big Picture

**Benefits**:

- Alongside your salary of £41,156, Department for Business and Trade contributes £11,922 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme. Find out what benefits a Civil Service Pension provides.
