Job summary:

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is the UK's international trade department.

Our Vision is to champion open and fair global trading that drives growth, creates better jobs and higher wages, and improves living standards in this country and around the world.

The Department brings together policy and operational expertise to break down barriers to trade and investment in markets across the world.


The Tariffs, Imports, Professions and Strategy team leads on several high-profile areas, including developing the UK's domestic and multilateral tariff policy framework and implementation plans.

The Tariff Policy Delivery team sits within TIPS and is vital to delivering the UK's independent trade policy, working with policy and operational colleagues to ensure the UK's trade policy is applied at the Border.

The team also work closely with DBT's Digital team to support the development of the Tariff Application Platform (TAP) which is the UK's database for holding all tariff policy data.


You will need to be able to develop a strong working relationship with policy teams within DBT and across other Government departments, as well as with the DBT digital team (DDaT).

You will work with DDaT colleagues to build and develop the TAP system to best meet policy colleagues' outcomes.

You should be able to articulate the department's position robustly and ensure DBT's interests are credibly represented in cross Whitehall meetings.

A key part of the role will be to support the development in training, guidance and upskilling materials for the TAP system.


Comprehensive training would be given on how trade policy operates and how to use the digital systems for those with no previous experience of trade policy, though a background in an operational role would be advantageous.


Job description:


Key Accountabilities

  • Develop expertise in how to operationalise tariff and trade policy, and develop a deep understanding of goods classification, commodity code structures, and a range of trade measures.
  • Work closely with colleagues in policy, operational, and digital teams from Other Government Departments across Whitehall and use your operational knowledge of tariff/trade delivery to guide delivery and determine the best method of implementation in customs and tariff systems.
  • Update the Tariff Application Platform (TAP) system directly with tariff and trade policy data in order to ensure operational delivery at the UK Border.
  • Work closely with Digital colleagues to support development of training/upskilling materials related to the TAP system. This will include drafting guidance, running training sessions and supporting the onboarding of colleagues across Government onto the TAP system itself.

Person specification:
