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!
The work of Technology Services is expanding, and we are supporting an increasing number of colleagues. We require a Digital Engagement Officer who can support our engagement across our Digital space. As part of this role, you will help create content for and drive the team’s presence across our Digital estate, increasing the profile of our work and showcasing new user features ensuring that the work we do is highlighted to our communities.
