About GovTech
At GovTech, we build technology for public good. We don’t do it for headlines or vanity metrics, but because technology can make government radically better, faster and more human. We build and deliver the digital backbone of Singapore’s public sector: systems that millions rely on every day, from national digital identity to data infrastructure to citizen-facing apps across partner agencies. Our teams work at the intersection of technology, policy, and operations to re-imagine what the public sector can deliver for Singapore.
Our challenge
This isn’t your typical 9-to-5 job. The problems we tackle are complex, ambiguous, and often unprecedented. We’re modernising legacy systems, building capabilities in AI, designing products to reduce friction in government services – while also building an organisation that redefines what government service means. If you’re looking for predictability or comfort, this probably isn’t for you. But, if you want to shape how technology serves a nation, please keep reading.
The opportunity
We’re looking for a Strategy leader who thrives in complexity and can help shape GovTech’s next chapter. You’ll sit at the heart of our strategic engine — connecting dots across products, agencies, infrastructure, and people. This is a role for someone who can operate between the big picture and the weeds. You’ll help define how GovTech evolves: how we prioritise, grow our capabilities, and partner across agencies to deliver lasting digital transformation. You’ll work directly with senior leadership, influence group direction and your work will reposition GovTech as a world-class public sector tech agency. If you like writing measurable strategy, designing frameworks from ambiguity, and debating ideas that matter, we want to hear from you.
[What you will be working on]
•
Strategist: Develop, refine, and drive GovTech’s strategic priorities at group, functional and programme levels. You believe in solving problems with sharp direction, detailed metrics and ambitious outcomes.
•
Storyteller: Craft sharp, persuasive narratives and analyses that influence senior stakeholders across GovTech and beyond. You understand who your audience is, what they need to know and the best way to convince them.
•
Operator: Run special projects that ‘fall between the cracks’ of functions, or wherever teams need extra leverage. We’re a lean team, so we need people who can 10x outcomes individually.
•
Arbiter: Bring best-practice into GovTech, whether it be technological developments or operating structures. Your role is to know what’s next before it’s too late.
[What we are looking for]
•
We are looking for someone who has more than 8 years of experience with Strategy or Special Projects roles, who has:
•
Influenced cross-functional initiatives at-scale
•
Navigated ambiguous challenges and environments with aplomb and measurable results
•
Fixed problems before they became problems
•
Brought significant leverage to a scale-up environment
•
Been an outstanding teammate
