2x Labour, Environment Implementation Project / Stakeholder Lead

The Labour, Anti-Corruption, Climate & Environment Policy team leads and coordinates trade policy development, negotiation and implementation on these key policy areas. The team works to ensure protection of workers' rights, environmental and climate change standards, and addresses corruption in the UK's trade policy, in areas of high domestic, stakeholder, and political interest. These roles sit within our implementation team, which is focused on ensuring the UK and partners implement their commitments in the UKs in force trade agreements. This includes through holding high profile committee meetings with partners, and meetings with civil society stakeholders. This is an exciting and dynamic time to be involved in policy areas with significant public interest and shape the UK's approach to making the most of its trade agreements with international partners to progress these issues.
