The posting

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 Government Data Division (GDD) within SNDG plays a central policymaking role in advancing data governance excellence across the public sector. Its responsibilities include:

(a) formulating and implementing whole-of-government (WOG) data policies that guide the strategic management, sharing, and utilisation of data as a national asset;

(b) identifying and driving new initiatives to improve the exchange of data within Government agencies, and sharing of Government data with commercial partners and the public; and

(c) strengthening data governance by developing policies relating to responsible use of data, as well as driving the development of capabilities, institutionalizing structures and standardising tools for WOG.

We want a change maker who has experience in policymaking, and is collaborative in stakeholder management. Experience in data management, governance or related domains will also be helpful.

You must be ready to roll up your sleeves and rally different teams across Government agencies to achieve SNG’s vision of a public sector that is ‘data driven to the core’. This includes enabling Government agencies to use data to create solutions that benefit citizens and businesses, while ensuring the responsible use of data.

You will be part of a team at the forefront of transforming Government data and driving the next bound of the whole-of-Government data ecosystem, through policy formulation and development of key systems and structures. Your work will involve one or more of the following areas:

  1. Policy Development and Implementation. Formulate and implement key data policies across whole-of-Government, that cover data governance, data sharing policies, data classification frameworks, treatment and protection of personal data, as well as the accompanying legislative frameworks.
  2. Stakeholder Engagement. Work closely with agencies to understand their use cases and governance context, and drive implementation. Provide advice on policies and measures, including arbitrating between competing needs where necessary.
  3. Ecosystem Development. Design and implement the next bound of the Government data ecosystem, to supercharge data sharing and usage across whole-of-Government to enable agencies’ use cases in policy, operations and service delivery, while ensuring good data governance. This entails the following work:
  • Conceptualising a whole value chain perspective of the data ecosystem, including how the pieces should come together to best facilitate the sharing and usage of data underpinned by proper governance frameworks.
  • Developing the system-level roles and responsibilities that agencies need to play, as part of the broader data value chain perspective.
  • Capability building for effective implementation (e.g. establish centres of excellence to drive though leadership, establish funding principles and resource allocation).
  • Integrating the Policy-Tech “handshake” with Government Technology Agency colleagues to ensure the ecosystem architecture and data products support policy objectives.

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape policy and drive change implementation across the public sector, with significant impact on how Government agencies access and use data effectively and responsibly for policy analysis, service delivery and operations.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
