Department for Business and Trade (DBT)
Main purpose of job:
The Investment Analyst based in Chile will provide support to the Investment team at the Department for Business and Trade (DBT)’s LATAC network in their efforts to promote investment into the United Kingdom.
Working under the Head of Investment for Chile and the LATAC Director for Investment, you will engage with Chilean and Latin American startups, industry associations, venture capital funds, and established companies to promote awareness of the UK as a destination for FDI. The purpose of this engagement will be to strengthen the FDI pipeline and land investment wins, creating jobs, prosperity, and driving growth in both the UK and LATAC.
The role will require excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of diverse stakeholders. You will be part of a wider regional team promoting investment from across Latin America and the Caribbean. This will require you to develop good working relations with colleagues across the continent to deliver cross-regional investment promotion activities. You will also work closely with DBT colleagues in the Chilean Embassy to deliver investment objectives as part of cross-Embassy and regional strategies. Additionally, you will develop excellent relationships with DBT colleagues in the UK and with UK-based partner organizations to deliver an impactful program of activities focused on developing a robust pipeline of Chilean investors, achieving investment targets, and promoting the UK as a destination for Chilean companies.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on improving bilateral trade and investment relations between the United Kingdom and Chile through increased investment and enhancing knowledge-sharing networks and ecosystems in fast-growing sectors. You will have the opportunity to gain experience in organising investment promotion activities within Chile, and potentially the wider region and the UK. Additionally, you will gain high-level experience dealing with senior business stakeholders and large companies while developing your knowledge of the investment world and specific sectors.
The position will suit an energetic team player, motivated self-starter with a passion and genuine interest in the world of international business and trade. It will require a positive and proactive attitude that thinks in terms of unlocking opportunities for Chilean companies in the UK.

The British Embassy in Santiago has an active L&D Committee and offers a wide range of in-house training and funding for external training where relevant.
DBT’s strong L&D offer includes access to a range of in-house and e-learning opportunities; a regional L&D fund; shadowing and mentoring opportunities; masterclasses from experts and opportunities to get involved in the corporate work across our global network.
Employees who are not liable to pay local income tax on their Mission salary, e.g. some non-local national staff and some spouses or partners of UK diplomatic staff, will have their salaries abated by an equivalent amount.
Working patterns:
This role is full-time, 36 hours per week. The British Embassy in Santiago operates on a hybrid model, allowing employees to work from home up to 2 days a week (subject to business need). We are an organization that also recognises the critical value of teamwork, and we embrace and endorse collaboration by ensuring that all staff attend the office flexibly yet regularly.
Given the nature of the work, this role may require occasional evening and early morning working hours and periodic regional travel.

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
