The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has a clear mission - to grow the economy. Our role is to help businesses invest, grow and export to create jobs and opportunities right across the country. We do this in three ways. Firstly, we help to build a strong, competitive business environment, where consumers are protected and companies rewarded for treating their employees properly. Secondly, we open international markets and ensure resilient supply chains. This can be through Free Trade Agreements, trade facilitation and multilateral agreements. Finally, we work in partnership with businesses every day, providing advance, finance and deal-making support to those looking to start up, invest, export and grow. The Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) directorate develops and operates tools and services to support us in this mission. The team have been nominated three times in a row for 'Best Public Sector Employer' at the Women in Tech awards! Background The DDaT Private Office sits within Business Operations and is combined into one sub-team together with Policy & Strategy. This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting, friendly and high-profile team. Having recently grown in number to reflect the priorities of an enlarged directorate delivering against core DBT missions, including to drive improved efficiency and productivity through innovation, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape a new role in an evolving team.
