About the Group


The
International Group advises ministers on promoting and protecting the UK's international economic interests, to ensure the UK thrives in an ever-changing global economy.

We do this through our policy and operational work on a range of areas ranging from free trade agreements, climate change, countering illicit finance, financial sanctions to supporting developing countries and managing our relationship with Europe, US, and emerging markets.


We support the Chancellor and senior officials in building relationships with a wide range of external and international partners and represent the UK in a range of international organisations, such as the G7, the G20 and the International Monetary Fund as well as Multilateral Development Banks.

We also analyse what is happening in the world economy, and control spending on international development.

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
Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) within HM Treasury has been operational since March 2016 and in its first six years quickly established itself as a world-leader in financial sanctions, a key area of financial, foreign and national security policy.

It remains front and centre of an unprecedented financial sanctions response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

HM Treasury implements financial sanctions in the UK, and OFSI fulfils this role on its behalf.

It leads on the implementation of UN and UK financial sanctions and domestic terrorist asset freezing, providing a high-quality service to the private and charitable sectors, and guidance to help them follow the law.

It works closely with law enforcement, intelligence agencies and strategic policy colleagues across Whitehall and beyond to help ensure that financial sanctions are accurately understood, implemented and enforced.

OFSI has important partner relationships in the regulated financial services sector, the primary implementers of financial sanctions, and is an integral part of the sanctions community worldwide.


Robust enforcement of financial sanctions helps to maintain the integrity of and confidence in the UK financial sector, a priority for the Prime Minister and the Chancellor.

OFSI has strong powers, including to impose monetary penalties, and is in the front line in the fight against this serious crime.

There are currently c.30 financial sanctions regimes, including sanctions relating to Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria and Libya. Approximately 3000 individuals and entities are targets of sanctions. OFSI also implements domestic terrorist-asset freezes under the counter-terror legislation.

OFSI is a diverse, growing and dynamic team of 100 people, from a variety of backgrounds and professions. The team is continuing to expand, with multiple roles available across several of our specialist units.

We offer an outstanding environment to broaden your experience and develop new skills, whilst working on some of the highest profile international issues the UK faces.

We strongly support a good work-life balance and flexible working is actively encouraged.
