Working for UK Export Finance
We provide government-backed guarantees, export finance and insurance.
Helping the UK export to the world
We're a small and dynamic government department with operations spanning the globe. We work with a diverse range of clients, from small UK businesses needing help with their first export contract, to foreign governments and large multinationals needing financing for infrastructure projects.
Working with us offers invaluable experience in the world of international trade and finance. Our skilled and diverse workforce provides a large selection of export-focussed financial services. Our team members work in a wide range of areas including risk management, underwriting, project delivery, finance, and policy.
The department's mission ensures that you will always feel like you are making a positive, tangible difference to the UK's economy. We have the capacity to support up to £50 billion of exports to over 200 countries. In 2017 to 2018, we directly supported 191 UK-based companies.
UK Export Finance is strongly committed to helping staff develop in their roles and I feel fortunate to play a major part in that process, leading on day-to-day activities of learning and development to deliver a quality service.
UK Export Finance really is a great place to work. I feel lucky to work in an organisation that recognises hard work and offers staff opportunities for personal development and career progression.
UK Export Finance is a fantastic place to gain experience in central government; the department has a commercially-focussed mindset and our staff work across a wide range of disciplines. Our offer to you includes:
