HM Treasury is Hiring a Policy Adviser - Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Near Darlington, IN
About The GroupBusiness and International Tax The Business and International Group (BIT) is one of 14 groups in the Treasury. The aim of the BIT Group is to provide strategic oversight of business, environmental, transport, property, VAT, excise taxes and customs duties that together raise revenue of close to £500 billion a year. The Group works closely with other government departments and is outwards facing towards key stakeholders, including business, industry, interest groups and international counterparts, and there are opportunities to be part of this engagement at all levels.
The work of the Group is vital to fund essential public services, while working with other Treasury Groups to support the Government’s wider agenda – including supporting the economy as it recovers from the impact of COVID-19; developing and negotiating new customs arrangements following the UK’s departure from the EU; levelling up opportunities across all parts of the United Kingdom; and delivering “Net Zero” carbon emissions by 2050.
The Group’s high-profile portfolio make it a highly dynamic, flexible, and interesting place to work. BIT is committed to diversity and is proud to support a friendly and inclusive working environment. BIT values each individual and encourages development for all roles. Our work offers a range of opportunities to develop, and we are increasingly working in a more flexible way, creating new opportunities for staff, such as supporting those that want to undertake tax qualifications. By joining BIT, you will become part of a team that value and encourage the best in one another, whilst tackling some of the most pressing and interesting policy questions on the Government’s agenda.
About The TeamThe Energy and Transport Tax (ETT) team is a supportive and friendly team whose work is at the heart of balancing HMT’s fiscal, economic and environmental objectives. The team is responsible for taxes collectively raising around £50bn through transport, oil & gas, energy & carbon and environmental taxes, including developing novel and complex policies such as the new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). As a result, the team’s work covers a broad range of high-profile policy areas that get significant amounts of ministerial and public attention, particularly in light of the Government’s Net Zero agenda.
ETT is an outward-facing team whose work involves significant and varied stakeholder engagement, both directly with businesses and with trade associations, business representative groups and environmental and tax policy stakeholders. The team also works very closely with other Government departments, especially DESNZ, DfT, HMRC, Defra, and DBT, as well as with colleagues across HM Treasury, particularly those working on energy & transport spending, infrastructure policy and international policy.
About The RoleThis is an exciting HEO role for a motivated and detail focused policy official to work directly on designing key elements of the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), a new and innovative tax on emissions embodied in imported goods. The successful candidate will need to quickly grasp complex issues in a fast-paced policy area and be comfortable working with others to drive forward complex technical aspects of a tax that is yet to be fully implemented anywhere in the world.
The post-holder will need to develop options on detailed aspects of policy design, with support from others, to ensure the CBAM can meet its operational objectives, such as alignment with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme, the UK’s domestic carbon pricing system.
The post-holder will need to be collaborative - working closely with colleagues within the branch and within a virtual CBAM team across HM Treasury; as well as with HMRC, DESNZ and the Environment Agency.
Key Accountabilities For This Role Include
You don’t need to be a policy professional or have any specific qualifications to apply to work as a Policy Adviser at HM Treasury.

Key Accountabilities For This Role Include
- Contribute to the design of UK CBAM policy and develop detailed policy proposals for the operation of the UK CBAM which was recently subject to consultation. This will require working together with colleagues across HMT Treasury and HMRC to understand a wide range of viewpoints. For example, this could include working on the development of the UK’s approach to emissions measurement within the UK CBAM.
- Lead on the assessment of complex technical policy areas working at speed to clearly set out the potential impacts of different options and how they fit with other government schemes. This could include assessing the interaction with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). This will involve working alongside economic analysts in the Trade Policy team.
- Collaborate closely with colleagues within other government departments. The postholder will be expected to engage with key stakeholders and build upon existing relationships with a range of partners across government. For example, this could include working closely with HMRC, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Environment Agency.
- Lead on project management to ensure timely delivery of the UK CBAM, working across HMT and HMRC
- Contribute to making the team and the wider BIT group a great place to work.
