The UK’s Brazil Network and Trade & Economics Team The UK’s Brazil Network includes the Embassy in Brasilia and consulates in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte and Recife and covers political, economic, climate, trade and commercial work.

We also work closely with colleagues from the Department for Business and Trade (based mainly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro), including sector leads and the regional market access and implementation team for Latin America and the Caribbean (LATAC), and colleagues from DBT HQ in London. As the Trade Policy & Market Access Officer for Brazil, you will play a key role in delivery of Brazil Network priorities. Reporting to the Deputy Head of Trade & Economic Policy and working closely with both the team leader and the Director for Market Access and Implementation for LATAC, you will lead the Network’s strategy and engagement on our highest priority market access barriers and principal areas of trade policy cooperation.
