Description

What the role is

  • Strategy Group leads and organises the Public Service to develop and implement the Government's strategic priorities.

As a member of the PMO-SG Technology team, you will be exposed to a wide range of strategy and policy planning work in the Science & Technology (S&T) domain, including areas relating to Smart Nation and Digital Economy (SNDE).

During your time with us, you can expect to learn about and contribute to the development of strategies and policies in cross-cutting areas such as the nexus between S&T, SNDE and the economic, social and infrastructure domains.

There may also be opportunities for double-hating across different teams in PMO-SG.


What you will be working on

  • You will be expected to facilitate and lead discussions in interagency settings to push the bounds of ambition, strengthen WOG alignment and ensure translation of strategies into actions and outcomes.
You will need to proactively engage stakeholders across the public service to
(i) diagnose and address systemic gaps in the S&T domain,
(ii) advocate for S&T considerations to be better considered in upstream strategy selection across domains, and
(iii) create or update S&T and SNDE-related processes and policies, so as to support key National outcomes.

In the course of your work, you will get to work with, and learn first-hand from, political officeholders, senior management members from PMO-SG and other agencies, as well as a wide range of internal government agency stakeholders.

The breadth of exposure to strategic issues at the WOG and sectoral levels, space to engage and grow professional networks across the Public Service, as well as opportunity to pick up policy analysis, facilitation and systems design & development skills will be especially valuable to officers who are considering longer-term careers in the Public Service and show potential to take on future public sector leadership roles.


What we are looking for

  • At least 5 years of experience, preferably with some exposure in S&T or SNDE areas of work. Public sector experience in a strategy or policy analysis role would be an advantage.
  • Strong critical thinking and synthesis skills, intellectual curiosity and a sense of imagination and creativity.
  • Excellent writing and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and confident in engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, with strong influencing skills to work across organisational and hierarchical boundaries.
  • A team player prepared to take on different team roles for different projects to achieve team objectives.
  • Comfortable in handling openended, qualitative research on longterm issues and working with agencies to articulate their impact on public policy and governance. Experience in working on data analytics projects would be an advantage.
