About this role

The Smart Nation Group – Digital Government (SNDG), under the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI), is at the forefront of the Singapore Government’s digital transformation. We shape and implement strategies and policies to achieve our vision of a Digital Government that is Digital to the core, and serves with heart. This includes building long-term digital capabilities for the public sector, driving innovation across Government agencies, and ensuring digital services are user-centric, secure and resilient.

The Strategy, Policy and Resourcing (SPR) Division serves a horizontal function within the SNDG cluster, partnering other SNDG divisions to ensure a coordinated approach within SNDG as well as across Government, as we steer the direction of digital government.

  • Work closely with SNDG leadership to identify strategic goals and priorities, and collaborate with SNDG teams and GovTech to deliver on these priorities
  • Leverage policy and resourcing mechanisms to drive Digital Government outcomes
  • Develop methods and metrics to measure and evaluate progress of our Digital Government effort

We are seeking a dynamic, adaptable professional with:

  • At least 5 years of experience in public policy, strategic planning, tech policy or a related field
  • Strong analytical, critical thinking, and writing skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage and collaborate with diverse stakeholders
  • Keen interest in technology and willingness to keep up with technological trends. Technical knowledge or experience working with digital products is advantageous, but not a must.
