About British Consulate General Shanghai |
Position: Policy Officer (Political, Economic and Climate Change)
Grade: LEIII
Working with both the Political, Economic & Press Section and the Climate Change Section, the Policy Officer supports the British Consulate’s co-operation work on Political, Economic and Climate Change/Low Carbon issues in East China.
This is a varied role combining research work in analysing the nature of East China’s development and opportunities for co-operation with the UK, with organisational work to arrange events, projects and visits to/from the UK. There is also some administrative work in support of the teams. To start with, the successful candidate can expect to split their time roughly equally between climate change/low carbon work and political/economic work. In time there may be the opportunity to specialise further in one of these areas.
Main Priorities
? Support the Consul Political/Economic/Press’ work to monitor and report on the East China economy, including through building a network of contacts with economic analysts and maintaining the consulate’s database of economic statistics.
? Support the climate change & energy section to monitor and report on regional energy & climate policy.
? Lead on arranging visits to East China for UK Government officials in the economic & climate change fields.
