We make sure that Northern Ireland interests are represented within the UK Government and that UK government responsibilities are fully and effectively represented in Northern Ireland. We are the centre of expertise on Northern Ireland issues across Government. The Northern Ireland Office employs around 165 staff, with offices in Belfast and London. As a small Department, we adopt a flexible project-based approach to ensure that we have the right people, with the right skills, in the right place to support the delivery of our key objectives. Due to our structure and size, we are able to offer extensive exposure to Ministers and the opportunity to work on a far wider portfolio of policy and responsibilities than might be the case in a larger department. This creates an interesting and stimulating work environment. Our key priorities are set out in our Operational Delivery plan and include: ? Supporting greater inclusion, tolerance and openness in Northern Ireland ? Contributing to a safer Northern Ireland, where terrorist and paramilitary groups are less able to cause harm to communities ? Ensuring that governance in Northern Ireland is responsive, transparent and able to deliver effective public service. ? Addressing the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland For more information about what we do: Visit: ABOUT THE ROLE: The Northern Ireland Office is recruiting an SEO to support delivery of the Government?s Economic Growth Mission, one of the Department?s top priorities. This is vital to upholding political stability in Northern Ireland, driving growth and investment, and supporting the Government?s reset with the regions and nations. This role is located in the Fiscal, Economy and Trade Group within the Northern Ireland Office - which aims to drive growth and prosperity in Northern Ireland, focused on driving economic growth in the Northern Ireland economy, working with other Government departments, the NI Executive and wider stakeholders. The Fiscal, Economy and Trade Group?s role is to work with other Whitehall departments and the Northern Ireland Executive to strengthen the Northern Ireland economy, boost innovation, drive investment, and to promote Northern Ireland as a great place to do business. It is responsible for the post EU Exit arrangements in Northern Ireland including the Windsor Framework and Retained EU Law, and for work to make the Northern Ireland public finances more sustainable in the ongoing absence of a Northern Ireland Executive. Our work also contributes to the UK Government?s Economic Growth Mission. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: This is an exceptional chance to undertake a significant and varied role with tangible policy and delivery outcomes. This area of the Northern Ireland Office's work is poised to become increasingly vital as we address both the immediate and long-term economic challenges facing Northern Ireland, while actively capitalising on growth opportunities through the funding levers we manage. The successful candidate will play a crucial part in the Fiscal, Economy, and Trade (FET) Group, contributing significantly to policy development and delivery across a range of high-profile areas. The main responsibilities of the role include but are not limited to: Provide vital policy support to help deliver the Government's Growth Mission in Northern Ireland, including on major policy areas like the Industrial Strategy and Defence Industrial Strategy. This role offers concrete opportunities to see the direct, on-the-ground impact of your and the team's work. Support broader policy advice concerning the delivery of UK Government funding in Northern Ireland, spanning diverse sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, Cyber, Energy and Skills. Due to the department's small size, strong candidates will have greater involvement in this delivery-focused work than is typical elsewhere. Build and maintain a robust network with key partners, including the Cabinet Office, the other Offices for the Nations (OfNs), various UK Government departments, NI Executive departments, and external delivery bodies. The ability to broker agreements across these partners is essential. Leading the Secretariat for the Northern Ireland Growth Coordination Group, which brings together senior leaders from UK Government and NI Executive departments, is a key part of this stakeholder engagement. Contribute to the overall policy delivery of the FET Group. This includes providing surge support on key priority work, offering comprehensive advice to Ministers on critical policy issues, and fostering cross-departmental and cross-government collaboration to achieve priorities and deliverables.
