Description

Who we are:

Projects we have worked on include:

- An open repository of all the Singapore Government's public data. It helps people understand the data using visualizations and articles, and provides real-time APIs for developers to use.

- A mobile app alternative to parking coupons. It lets users pay, extend, and refund their parking sessions just using their phones.

FormSG - A form builder tool for agencies to self-service and create online forms that capture classified data, with the goal of replacing paper forms.

Isomer - Isomer provides government agencies with an easy-to-deploy static website building and hosting service to create usable, secure and faster informational websites quickly.

RedeemSG - RedeemSG helps the Singapore Government to create, send and track redemptions of digital vouchers easily.

PaySG - PaySG was developed to enable digital payments for government services, and was initially used for payments for COVID-19 swab tests and Stay-Home Notices for incoming travellers to Singapore.

What does a Marketing & Communications Intern do?:
As a marketing and communications intern, you will work with the OGP corporate team to:

Help create OGP's overall brand strategy
Identify and run outreach on new platforms within the tech and developer communities to share OGP's work, including talks, forums, and news outlets
Research new partnership and outreach opportunities within the international public sector community, including ways to propagate OGP's open source projects
Plan and execute initiatives to build brand awareness amongst students and potential hires
Work with OGP product teams to craft a product marketing strategy to improve awareness and usage of OGP products within the public sector
Lead OGP's social media strategy, creating content to grow awareness of the team in line with OGP's brand strategy

At Open Government Products you'll have the opportunity to shape how we reach and interact with the public as well as the international community.

You will have a hand in creating compelling campaigns, resources, and experiences that demonstrate the team's mission to deliver high-quality products and services to the public.

You'll be able to help set our marketing strategy, as well as roll up your sleeves to execute on it.

What is it like working in OGP?:

Rapid Prototyping - Instead of spending too much time debating ideas we prefer testing them. This identifies potential problems quickly, and more importantly, conveys what is possible to others easily.

Ownership - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having opinions on what is being done and having ideas on what should be done next. Building something that you believe in is the best way to build something good.

Continuous Learning - Working on new ideas often means not fully understanding what you are working on. Taking time to learn new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is not just encouraged but essential.

We look for people who:

Have a demonstrated ability to plan and execute marketing and branding initiatives
Prior work and personal projects count for much more than specific degrees.

Scrappy and resourceful

We are a small team that needs members who can find innovative ways to solve problems.
Take initiative to make things happen
We need gogetters who are able to seek out opportunities themselves and not wait for instruction.
Strong communication and networking skills
Want to work for the public good
Our job is to push for change in government, so we need to challenge the status quo. We are public servants, we serve the public. This sometimes means ignoring political pressures and misguided policies. We need people who will push back if something is not in the public interest.
