Job summary:

DBT is recruiting for an exciting and stretching EO role, working at the forefront of the UK's policy on trade remedies (anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard measures), which are crucial in promoting free and fair trade, tackling unfair trade, and levelling the playing field for UK businesses.

The Sponsorship team work to support the UK's current and future interests in trade remedies, building the UK's role as an exemplar and champion of the Rules Based International System.

The Trade Remedies team is a friendly, collaborative, and supportive team, with high People Survey scores in engagement in our work, and a consistent focus on inclusion and L&D.

In our team we are working to a hybrid model and support flexible working where possible and in line with delivering business outcomes.

This is an exciting time to be joining DBT's Sponsorship Team.

We are responsible for building, improving, and maintaining a highly effective relationship with one of the department's arms-length bodies, the 'Trade Remedies Authority' ("TRA").

The TRA investigates whether new measures are needed to defend UK economic interests against unfair international trade practices.

They are a vital component of the UK's trade policy framework - ensuring a high-functioning relationship between DBT and the TRA is critical to the delivery of our mutual objectives.

Act as the Secretariat for the TRA Sponsorship Board to support clear and effective governance between TRA and DBT.
Provide broader corporate support to the team, leading on reporting requirements and assisting in the logistics of meetings, project management, briefings and updates.
Work flexibly across the team on projects as they arise.
