Job description:

Trade and Investment Negotiations (Services) Directorate (known as TINS) helps UK service suppliers and investors to thrive in a changing environment. We create opportunities for businesses by ensuring that the UK's trade and domestic regulatory frameworks work in tandem to deliver for services, investment and UK professionals.
One of TINS's responsibilities is promoting UK-EU trade in services and investment. Our role is to create opportunities to maximise the benefits of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) through effective implementation of the TCA's services provisions. We work with businesses and officials across Government to identify and tackle barriers to trade in EU markets.
This includes supporting the UK cochair of the TCA Trade Specialised Committee on Services, Investment and Digital Trade which meets at least annually to consider formally the implementation of the TCA's services provisions. We are also looking ahead towards the joint review of the TCA at the end of 2025 and considering possible priorities.
It is not just businesses we help to thrive. TINS is a friendly and inclusive place to work. With empathetic leadership, we will support you to build connections and a sense of team spirit with your colleagues not just through your work, but through opportunities to make corporate contributions in areas such as wellbeing or learning and development.
We are looking for an enthusiastic new team member to work on TCA Implementation and UK-EU Trade

Person specification:

In this role, you will be taking a systematic approach to engagement, including with British embassies in the EU, to identify the market access barriers and sectoral interests which shape our trading relationship.
Being naturally curious, you will want to build a wideranging network, interrogate the evidence base and build consensus on the team's priorities for action. You will communicate clearly and concisely to present your views to your colleagues and to the directorate's senior leadership team.
You will use your excellent communication skills to draft briefings and respond to regular requests for information. Through this you'll influence our relationship with the EU institutions and stakeholders that matter.
You will use your skills and experience to:
brief senior officials and ministers to promote and improve UK-EU trade in services and investment;

- support the TCA Trade Specialised Committee on Services, Investment and Digital Trade; and
- build our evidence base and prepare for the TCA review at the end of 2025.
