Job description
The Government Recruitment Service seeks a Senior Policy Advisor for Multilateral Trade and Environment Policy in Birmingham, UK. The role involves developing UK trade policy related to labor, anti-corruption, climate change, and the environment within the Department for Business and Trade. Candidates should have a strong policy background, knowledge of international trade, and be able to communicate complex issues clearly. The position emphasizes collaboration and professional growth.
This is an exciting time to join the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). We are the department for economic growth. We support businesses to invest, grow and export, creating jobs and opportunities across the country.

This role is based in the Labour, Anti-Corruption, Climate Change and Environment (LACE) Team, part of the Trans-Pacific Negotiations and Policy (TNAP) directorate, within DBT’s Trade Policy, Implementation and Negotiations (TPIN) Group. The TNAP directorate works to develop and deliver UK trade policy in relation to labour and anti-corruption, climate change and environment as well as negotiate the UK’s ongoing FTA program and accession to CPTPP.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and diligent policy lead in the LACE Team for this fast-paced, high-profile area. The role will be in the Multilateral Green Trade sub-team, which is responsible for the underlying policy and international engagement of the UK’s approach to trade and environment internationally.

We develop and deliver the UK’s multilateral trade policy in support of green economic growth and the UK's environmental commitments including net zero. We work primarily through the WTO with its vital role in the rules based international system, but also through the G20 and G7 and other international organisations.

This is an exciting area of policy. You will have a strong policy background and will need to be proactive, dynamic, able to balance competing priorities, and problem-solve. You will need to have a good knowledge of international trade and understand the key issues and dynamics of the global green transition in a trade context. You will also need to be able to express technical arguments in a manner that is easy for non-experts to understand. You will need to confidently collaborate with Government departments to identify UK interests, leverage support for policy positions, and help formulate UK strategy and positions for international engagement.

We are actively seeking applications from every part of the community. We are especially interested to hear from candidates from underrepresented backgrounds and our recruitment process is crafted to be fair and accessible for all applicants.

Our team is vibrant, hardworking and collaborative. We pay special attention to providing training and support needed to allow individuals to excel. We recognise the importance of professional personal growth and will encourage you to develop your skills and trade knowledge.

This position is a high-profile and stretching role for an SEO supporting DBT’s multilateral policy work. They will be supported in doing this by their G7 line manager, colleagues in our expert and specialised team as well as by analytical, legal and sectoral experts in the wider Department.

Key accountabilities include:
• Develop and deliver UK policy positions on complex areas such as trade-related climate measures and related areas such as regulation and subsidies, creating a solid evidence base for positions, including for multilateral engagement.
• Develop and deliver initiatives to achieve UK trade policy objectives internationally, agreeing these within DBT and across government.
• Support the development and planning of the UK’s approach at key plurilateral and multilateral international engagements on trade and environment, such as the WTO, G7 and G20.

You will need to be flexible and prepared to support work across the team, and wider Directorate, as required and to adapt to new priorities.  We work in an emergent policy area and this role will suit a self-starter and leader who is comfortable with shifting priorities. We pride ourselves on investing in our peoples’ skills, knowledge and career development.

The team puts a premium on learning and development and would encourage the successful candidate to be self-reflective and to regularly consider how they can develop and improve. The team helps each other in doing this and encourages innovation.
