About Professional Services Programme Office

The PSPO is an inter-agency office set up by the Ministry of Law (MinLaw), Economic Development Board (EDB), Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). This team is charged with the following mandate:
a) Developing the industry strategies for the professional services sector, with specific focus on uncovering opportunities in the more niche and/or high-growth areas within the legal, accounting and financial services sub-sectors (e.g. sustainability, Web 3.0, Mergers & Acquisitions ('M&A'), etc).

b) Supporting efforts to position Singapore as the leading international legal services hub. As an industry-facing team, PSPO regularly engages and works with law firms and other industry stakeholders to support their growth within the local and regional ecosystem, and also co-shapes policies to help sharpen Singapore's competitiveness as the legal services hub.

a) Industry engagement & strategy development.

Depending on the growth area, your work may involve: consulting with various internal and external stakeholders to elicit feedback and suggestions, conducting gap and data analysis, and using that to inform government interventions that may be required to address the gaps.

b) Securing mindshare through presentations. You may be required to present your research, analysis and recommendations at various governmental platforms to secure mindshare from senior management, and/or at external platforms where necessary. You may also be required to work with the relevant government agencies to translate such strategy into downstream initiatives and action.
