Crynodeb

The UK’s economic security has become of increasing importance in recent years and is now one of the top priorities for the Department for Business and Trade, as geopolitical shifts have exposed vulnerabilities and dependencies within global trade and countries have sought to use these to their advantage.

We are looking for an experienced policy professional to fill an exciting Grade 7 role in the team which looks across DBT’s interests in the high-profile economic security policy area. We build strategic positions, respond to fast-moving issues, and engage and influence HMG to ensure DBT’s agenda on economic security can be effectively delivered. We are leading DBT’s overall approach to this important area, which was an area of focus in the Integrated Review Refresh published in 2023 and has been a key theme in recent G7 discussions at leader level.

The team is responsible for influencing cross-government on behalf of DBT and preparing Ministers and senior officials for key discussions. We engage with international partners on economic security and lead DBT’s approach to prioritising which partners to engage with. We also lead on engagement with business on economic security issues. The team includes DBT’s Cyber Hub, which works with the National Cyber Security Centre and other departments to increase cyber resilience across UK businesses.


The role holder will be responsible for:

  • Leading DBT preparations for relevant Cabinet Committee meetings covering economic security issues. This includes preparing briefing for the DG ESTR for official level pre-meets as well as the Secretary of State and other Ministers.
  • Building robust, load-bearing relationships with the National Security Secretariat team in the Cabinet Office that coordinates economic security work across government, and with other departments such as the FCDO, HMT and DSIT.
  • Developing and delivering DBT’s international strategy on economic security and leading engagement with international partners, both multilaterally including the G7, and through bilateral dialogues - both formal and informal. Key partners include the US and EU, as well as a range of other countries.
  • Establishing a collaborative network across DBT policy teams and Economic Security Officers based overseas in order to be able to coordinate responses to fast-moving issues and drive forward international engagement priorities.
  • Providing written and oral briefings for meetings involving Ministers and senior officials, and supporting them to deliver Parliamentary business.
  • Line Manager for 2 x SEO.
  • Being a supportive and flexible member of a friendly and fun team.

The above responsibilities may change to reflect government priorities and the evolving economic security landscape.
