• Support prioritising, developing and project-manage plans to address local market barriers, helping HoTI, DIT Team and colleagues across the Embassy to deliver these, including those barriers affecting local trade campaigns;
• Communicate central priorities and campaigns on trade policy and market access issues to colleagues;
• Support colleagues holding relationships with a range of stakeholders including government, industry and business to raise trade policy and market access issues, engaging directly where appropriate;
• Work closely with DIT and FCO colleagues, as well as wider cooperation between different missions and markets across the region, to ensure a one HMG approach;
• Assist key Ministerial (and other) senior visits from the UK;
• Support the development of trade policy expertise across the DIT and FCO network;
• Focusing on addressing market barriers within key sectors that vary by country, engaging on specific trade policy issues important to the host country, and leveraging influence and partnering depending on the influence and position of the host country.
