This is a varied, challenging job working closely with the full time press officer, wider political team and the embassy as a whole.
The largest portion of the role (approximately 60%) will be to help deliver the UK's policy, commercial and consular objectives through an ambitious and innovative public diplomacy strategy. This will require good organisational skills, creative thinking and the ability to react quickly to events. The jobholder will need to work with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders including the British Ambassador, UK Trade & Investment, Visit Britain, NGOs and British businesses. This part of the job will involve an element of event and project management. The jobholder will spend approximately 30% of their time covering a range of policy issues within the political section. The exact range of topics will be decided once a full, permanent team is in place so applicants must be willing to be flexible. The work will consist of research, policy analysis, political reporting, organising official visits, networking and building relationships, lobbying and promoting the UK's policy dialogue with Sweden as well as working with Sweden as an EU partner. Finally, the jobholder will spend about 10% of their time working in a traditional press role, monitoring the media and dealing with journalists. This will be to provide continuity and flexibility in the team, including when the full time press officer is away.
