Job summary

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is the department for economic growth. We support businesses to invest, grow and export, creating jobs and opportunities across the country. We operate in an increasingly dynamic international environment, with a range of forces rapidly reshaping the global economy. To meet this challenge, the Government launched a new Modern Industrial Strategy in June 2025.

The Local and International Growth directorate within DBT supports economic growth across the UK by strengthening places, enabling businesses, and connecting local economies to national and international opportunity driving jobs, higher living standards and inclusive growth.

We do that by providing local policy insight and influence to shape growth policy, drive big bet interventions to support business growth in each area, collaborate with local partners to deliver growth outcomes, and connect DBTs international network to unlock global growth opportunities for businesses across UK.

The Local and International Growth Scotland team plays a central role in driving trade, investment, and economic growth across Scotland. Working closely with the Scottish Government, its agencies, and local partners, the team acts as DBTs on-the-ground presence, providing critical insight into regional opportunities, supporting Scottish-based businesses to access export markets, and attracting high-value domestic and international investment into Scotland. The team combines policy insight, international connections, and strong local partnerships to develop and promote Scotlands competitive strengths, support investment delivery, and contribute to sustainable regional growth.

Sector Manager

The Sector Manager will support "Big Bets" work in Scotland to drive economic growth, supporting Sector Leads in the team with operational delivery. The role involves working closely with businesses, partners and colleagues across DBT to develop sector propositions, support investment and export activity, and ensure Scotlands strengths are reflected in UK Government growth strategies.

Events and Sector Manager

The Events and Sector Manager will combine sector insight, stakeholder engagement and event delivery to support DBT Scotlands growth and investment objectives. The role, which supports the Inward Investment Lead and Strategic Growth Lead, focuses on gathering and synthesising intelligence, developing compelling materials and coordinating high-profile investor visits, round tables and engagement activity. The postholder will help promote Scotlands investment opportunities, strengthen collaboration and ensure effective alignment between domestic policy priorities and international promotion activity.
