Engagement causing Jo Brand to lose money abroad? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

job

'engagement' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'jo brand to lose money abroad?' is the wordplay.
'to lose' is a deletion indicator.
'money abroad?' becomes 'rand' (currency of South Africa).
'brand' with 'rand' taken out is 'b'.
'jo'+'b'='JOB'

'causing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for job that I've seen before include "Task; paid position" , "Post" , "Assignment" , "Book; task" , "Misfortunate man of the Bible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
