The British Embassy Jakarta is a large diplomatic mission delivering a dynamic and rapidly expanding programme of activity to deliver on the UK’s strategic priorities in Indonesia. This is a fantastic opportunity to lead the delivery of trade policy at the embassy.
You will work in the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), which is responsible for promoting UK trade and investment, strengthening the rules-based international order, and delivering the UK’s ambitious trade policy agenda. Trade between the UK and Indonesia is currently worth £3.4 billion, but we are committed to driving that figure up further. You will help deliver this by removing barriers to trade, shaping the Indonesian policy and regulatory environment to be more favourable in areas of future commercial opportunity, and supporting UK companies with their entry into market. We have a deepening government-to-government relationship, including a Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO), and policy dialogues with a range of Indonesian Ministries. This role brings the opportunity to work on market analysis, diplomatic and business engagement, and development programming to help drive trade.
You will be fully embedded in the embassy structure, working particularly closely with the Economics team to deliver on key economic and trade policy priorities. The embassy runs development programmes in areas such as financial services, digital and climate, which are of direct relevance to our trade policy work. You will work collaboratively to utilise all our levers to promote trade policy interests. You will drive trade policy work across the team to oversee delivery of market access campaigns. You will be recognised by colleagues in the UK and across the Asia Pacific overseas network as the point of contact for market access work in Indonesia. You will play a key leadership role in delivering an impactful and successful JETCO.
This role will report to the Deputy Country Director, Trade. You will advise on Indonesian policy and local context to inform the Senior Leadership Team’s strategic approach to trade policy. You will develop and hold meaningful, senior relationships with key stakeholders ensuring UK trade policy priorities are well understood and communicated. This is a senior role within the Department for Business and Trade in the Embassy which brings together all trade policy work within the Mission, working effectively across the DBT team, the wider Mission, the region and with Indonesian senior stakeholders.
