Diplomat and Foreign Office Official
Diplomats and foreign office officials represent the UK's interests abroad. They analyse what is happening in other countries, negotiate on behalf of the UK government, attend high-level meetings, and build relationships with other nations. The work is about understanding the world and using persuasion rather than force to solve problems.

Hands-on work, caring for people and dealing with the real world are among the hardest things to automate, and this job leans on them. We have not yet formally classified its moat, so we make no claim either way, but the exposure score speaks for itself.
