The British Embassy Riyadh has a vacancy for a Senior Trade Advisor for the Education and Training sector under the Department for International Trade (DIT). This is for a fixed-term contract of two (2) years, with a possibility of extension.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) is the British Government’s trade and investment development organisation. Its aim is to enhance the competitiveness of companies in the UK through overseas trade and investments; and attract a continuing high-level of quality foreign direct investment into the UK. We work with UK-based businesses to ensure their success in international markets and encourage overseas companies to bring their high-quality investment to the UK.

DIT has a network of three trade teams in Saudi Arabia (in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al Khobar) that work closely together to deliver services to our customers. The main purpose of the role is to support UK companies that are seeking to develop their business through trade with Saudi Arabia.

This is an important and varied role and the opportunity comes at an interesting time as the UK/Saudi bilateral trading relationship develops at speed, with education forming a key priority within this.

Additionally, you will work closely with the Prime Minister’s Special Representative to Saudi Arabia for Education, supporting visits and utilising senior engagements to further commercial wins.

The Education and Training sector encompasses a wide range of sub-sectors that include: Schools, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET); Higher Education (HE); Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND); Educational Technologies (EdTech); Curriculum Development; and more. The Senior Trade Advisor leads the sector team and works on the development and implementation of a high value strategy; and leads on generating UK commercial wins in priority sectors across the Kingdom. However, the jobholder should also be flexible in responding to changes to sector priorities based on operational requirements as guided by the DIT KSA Director.

**Duties and responsibilities**:
