Trade Policy and Market Access Advisor [Maternity Cover]

The British Embassy in Tel Aviv is part of a world-wide network, representing British political, economic and consular interests overseas and is looking for a Trade Policy and Market Access Advisor. This is a temporary position from beginning of October, for six months, to provide cover for maternity leave.

The Trade Policy and Market Access Advisor will lead on trade policy work at the UK’s Embassy in Israel, covering DBT’s trade relations objectives to advocate for FTA negotiations and ensure FTA implementation and utilisation once in force are both optimised, alongside removing market access barriers for UK exporters.

The Trade Policy and Market Access Advisor will work within DBT in order to strategically advise on both ongoing market access and policy issues as well as the forthcoming FTA negotiations, in order to advance the UK Government’s objectives. This includes identifying the trade policy aspects of wider economic and political issues; having a strategic overview on barriers to UK businesses; developing appropriate policy responses in conjunction with Whitehall colleagues and other partners as required; driving forward bilateral resolutions where agreed with DBT’s International Directorate, advising on FTA policy scoping work.

The successful candidate will report to the Country Director, DBT Israel.
