**Main Purpose of Job**:
The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) in Guyana has an exciting opportunity for a dynamic person to join their team as **Trade Policy Manager, Caribbean. **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 open and expand markets for British products and services while providing new opportunities for our partners. DBT Latin American and the Caribbean (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. The CARIFORUM countries of the Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago) are important political and economic partners for the UK. There is real potential to deepen and diversify our trade and investment relationship over the coming years.

We are looking for an individual with good experience to support implementation of the UK-CARIFORUM Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which came into effect on 1 January 2021 and support on wider trade policy, deliver the UK’s strategy to identify, prioritize and resolve Market Access Barriers (MABs) throughout CARIFORUM countries and lead on discrete projects as required. The role will work in close conjunction with local, regional and London-based trade policy teams.

In addition, they will work with regional and London colleagues to identify priority MABs and regulatory issues affecting bilateral and regional trade between the UK and the Caribbean, and develop strategies to address them. 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 High Commissions in the Caribbean. The jobholder will also engage with the UK’s Trade for Development Department given the focus of the UK-CARIFORUM EPA on economic development cooperation between the UK and the region.

The successful applicant will be based in Georgetown, Guyana and reports to the DBT Regional Director for the Commonwealth Caribbean. There will be a need for travel to other British Posts across the Caribbean and to the wider LATAC region.

This is an exciting time to be working in support of the UK Government’s international trade strategy. DBT and the FCDO are working closely together on trade policy to deliver HMG’s international trade and investment strategy, leveraging the FCDO’s overseas network and Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) to promote trade and investment across the world - benefitting both the UK and our partners. 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.
