At the Digital Economy Office (DEO), we carry out this mandate through policies and funding that enable innovative and sustainable growth in the digital economy, to benefit businesses and the workforce. Infrastructure and regulations are also levers to enable opportunity and ensure a fair and resilient playing field, so that we fully and safely harness the potential of emerging technologies.

We are looking for dynamic, purpose-driven individuals with a passion for technology, and who appreciate how Government is an advocate and enabler for long-term growth.

We want people who have a vision for what technology can do and can effectively communicate this both verbally and in writing.

Work across other parts of Government (including the agencies mentioned above) to translate growth in the Digital Economy into opportunities for value creation and good jobs, while managing trade-offs in the security and social domains
