Description

What the role is

The operating environment of the Public Service is undergoing fundamental and rapid change. The issues we face are complex and multifaceted, which impact the way the Public Service operates and organises itself.
Internally, the changes in workforce profile have necessitated a new approach in how the workplace is designed, while the pervasiveness of technology has fundamentally changed the way we conduct our business.

To prepare the Public Service for these changes, we have begun the journey towards Public Sector Transformation. We seek to continually transform the Public Service to better serve Singaporeans.

We do this by championing Public Sector innovation, transforming citizen and business service delivery, building a future workplace, and supporting transformation efforts in the Ministries and Statutory Boards.

What you will be working on

Key Responsibilities

You will be part of the Public Sector Transformation Group (PSTG) and will report to the Director (Public Sector Transformation).

PSTG is in charge of driving the Public Sector Transformation (PST) movement, which aims to build our future Public Service to be ready and able to build our future Singapore.

As strategist of the PST movement, PSTG will define the PST outcomes and targets, and set up the necessary governance structures and processes to ensure we achieve these targets with ambition, alignment, and action.

As change catalyst, PSTG will set the scale and pace of change and drive business process re-engineering across citizen and officer journeys and work processes to ensure PST is deep and pervasive.

As mobiliser, PSTG will continue to roll out mass initiatives to mobilise and engage officers to come on board PST, and ensure that PST is real, relevant, and relatable to all public officers and the work they do.
