Prior to his appointment as National Security Advisor, he served in Brussels as the UK Permanent Representative to the European Union from 2007 to 2011, representing UK interests in areas such as enlargement, the aftermath of the financial crisis, and the issues around European integration. From 2004 to 2007, Lord Darroch served as EU Advisor to the Prime Minister and Head of the Cabinet Office European Secretariat.
Earlier in his career, he served in a wide range of positions and policy specialities, including Private Secretary to the Minister of State responsible for the Middle East, Head of the Adriatic Department during the Dayton Accord negotiations, and Head of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office News Department.
