- Present, advocate and demonstrate the validity of policies for implementation
- Manage and ensure progress of various work streams
- Play an advisory role to other business units within IMDA regarding existing policy positions and new areas of policy work in the infocomm and digital economy space
- Participate and contribute to international platforms to advance Singapore's interests
What we are looking for:
- Background in Economics, Engineering, or Public Policy (other disciplines may be considered)
- Keen and demonstrated interest and understanding of technology, the digital economy, and telecom/internet sector and its impact on economy and society
