Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

**Main purpose of job**:
This is a fascinating time to be working at the Department for International Trade (DIT) in Latin America & the Caribbean (LATAC) region. Trade is at the centre of government policy following the UK’s departure from the European Union. Signing new trade agreements and strengthening existing trade relationships are a top priority for the government, as they have potential to create new markets for British products and services. DIT LATAC works together with FCDO and other HMG departments to deliver against an ambitious Regional Trade Plan to deliver impact for the UK and LATAC.

Central America is an important trading partner for the UK and there is real potential to grow our trade and investment relationship with this region over the coming years.

We are looking for an individual (with relative experience) to deliver the UK’s strategy to identifying, prioritizing and resolving Market Access Barriers (MABs) throughout Central America and oversee deployment of tools, strategies and best practice across the region to remove/overcome Market Access Barriers and ultimately help increase trade with the region.

The jobholder will also support with the implementation of the UK-Central America Agreement and lead (with support) on the delivery and implementation of the trade elements of the UK-Central America Agreement. They will also monitor and report on the local trade policy environment and context, and support upskilling of trade policy and market access capability within British embassies in Central America.

The successful applicant will be based in the British Embassy, Panama City and report to the DIT Regional Director for Central America. There might be a need for travel to other British embassies in Central America (Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador), and potentially to others in our Latin America and Caribbean network (LATAC).

This is a role - funded jointly by DIT and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) - and created in recognition of trade policy’s significance to the UK Government’s wider prosperity agenda. It is an exciting time to be working in support of the UK Government’s international trade and investment strategy, leveraging our overseas network to promote British trade and investment across the world, and to support UK business interests. This is a great opportunity to be part of an international team that contributes to a high profile agenda in which UK Ministers are closely engaged.

**Roles and responsibilities**:

- Identifying, prioritising and resolving key market access barriers and regulatory issues affecting bilateral trade.
- Ensuring Market Access Barriers are logged and up-to-date on DMAS system for all markets, and support efforts to publish MABs where relevant.
- Monitoring the policy environment, identifying barriers facing UK companies and ensuring this is taken into account in the UK’s wider trade policy objectives in the region.
- Supporting the DIT London Agreement Manager in planning and overseeing the delivery of the trade elements of new UK-Central America Agreement
- Working with regional and London colleagues to coordinate UK market access work across British Embassies in Central America, ensuring common obstacles to UK firms are tackled (collectively where possible), while identifying their linkages with other bilateral and plurilateral trade issues.
- Working with regional and bilateral colleagues to understand and develop the UK’s trade policy approach towards Central America, identifying and developing proposals for deeper engagement.

**The Market Access Officer will be responsible for the following areas of work**:

- 1. Market Access - Strategy Development (60%)- Investigate market access barriers affecting UK-Central American trade, drawing on the work of trade and economic teams across the other three British Embassies in the region. Supported by DIT and FCO colleagues analyse and understand these barriers to establish their importance to UK trade, their likelihood of resolution and how they interact with the UK-Central American Agreement.
- 2. Trade Policy reporting and upskilling (20%)- Research, engagement and reporting on the Central American trade policy environment and local context, providing advice on regional and bilateral trade policy issues, and partner countries approaches to key global and multilateral trade issues - including the global economic response to covid-19 and WTO reform. Lead on reporting, analysis, briefings, presentations on trade policy and market access issues.
- Supporting regional colleagues, in the delivery of trade policy and market access capacity building within our Central American embassies, supporting or leading training/conferences, as required.
