• Ensure senior business leaders in Shell understand UK Government foreign policy (especially global challenges and energy transition).
• Help identify opportunities for Shell to leverage available UK Government support internationally, especially with energy transition investments and as part of UK Government’s ‘Global Britain’ trade agenda.
• Undertake to maintain a deep understanding of Shell’s global business interests and how these may be advanced in the UK policy community.
• Together with Trade Controls colleagues, keep abreast of formal sanctions developments and UK Government encouragement or otherwise of trade with specific countries.
• Understand and influence the opportunities, challenges and trends in UK Government foreign policy that potentially impact Shell’s UK and international businesses.
• Provide advice on the external risks impacting commercial decision-making in Shell’s international portfolio, with a particular focus on Europe, Africa, MENA and Asia Pacific.
• Establish policy positions and advocacy strategies relating to UK foreign policy that impact Shell’s business.

Job Requirements:

• Educated to degree level.
• Experience of working in international affairs, in/with government, diplomatic service or in other external organisations (international organisations, NGOs, think tanks) is an advantage.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills (English).
