Srr - Senior Trade Advisor, Cyber and Electronic
1 week ago
Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)
The British Embassy Riyadh has a vacancy for a Senior Trade Advisor, Cyber and Electronic Warfare under the Department for International Trade (DIT). This is to cover a period of maternity leave initially for six (6) months, which may be extended depending on when the current jobholder returns from maternity leave.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) is a Department of State within the British Government. As the UK Government’s trade and investment ministry, DIT has responsibility for the promotion of international trade overseas and works with UK-based companies to ensure their success in international markets. 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. DIT in Saudi Arabia has a network of three trade teams based in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar. The teams work closely together to deliver services to our customers.
The jobholder will be the Senior Trade Advisor responsible for delivering commercial success for the UK on Defence and Security Exports (DSE). The UK enjoys an excellent reputation in this sector and Saudi Arabia represents one of its largest markets. These exports play a vital role in delivering both Saudi Arabia’s objectives within relevant aspects of Vision 2030 but also contribute greatly to the UK economy and workforce. Cyber and Electronic Warfare are seen as key opportunity areas within the sector. 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**:
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.
Duties include:
- Lead on commercial Cyber and Electronic Warfare activity in Saudi Arabia
- Identify relevant sector opportunities and promote to potential UK firms.
- Develop a countrywide strategy and pipeline for delivering sector activity against agreed export targets.
- Support relevant sector trade events and provide in-market guidance.
- Draft and provide in-depth sector briefing and other market contributions.
- Lead on the identification and promotion of high value export opportunities
- Develop contacts and relations with key UK and Saudi stakeholders in the Defence and Security sector
- Contribute to VIP visits, both to Saudi Arabia and to the UK.
- Where necessary, provide the wider DIT team in Saudi Arabia with in-country support including (but not limited to) official programmes, trade missions, events and trade shows.
The jobholder will also manage one (1) Trade Advisor.
The above list is not exhaustive and the jobholder will be required to be flexible and take on other ad hoc tasks as required, including participating in the Embassy’s emergency planning and any other response to a crisis affecting UK citizens.
**Key behaviours required**:
- Communicating and Influencing - Communicate purpose and direction with clarity, integrity and enthusiasm. Respect the needs, responses and opinions of others.
- Working Together - Forming effective partnerships and relationships with people both internally and externally, from a range of diverse backgrounds; sharing information, resources, and support.
- Making Effective Decisions - Use evidence and knowledge to support accurate, expert decisions and advice. Carefully consider alternative options, implications and risks of decisions.
- Managing a Quality Service - Deliver service objectives with professional excellence, expertise and efficiency, taking account of diverse customer needs.
Essential qualifications, skills and experience
- Commercial experience, knowledge of trade and investment concepts, ideally in Saudi and/or the UK.
- Ability to plan strategically, assimilate information from a range of sources, and to see the bigger picture to spot opportunities.
- Proven experience of working pro-actively, independently and towards performance targets within a team setting, contributing to the overall goals of the section.
- Experience of working autonomously, as well as collaborating effectively across local and international teams
- Strong customer focus and ability to deliver quality service. Able to communicate, influence and network confidently with industry leaders, senior government officials, and senior business people; able to build a network of contacts and maintain effective working relationships
