You will curate programmes to develop leadership competencies in specific areas such as geo-political understanding and cross-sector collaboration. You will also work with agency HR to nominate officers for these developmental interventions.
- Developing and implementing strategies to strengthen internal communications and engagement of the leadership community. This includes curating engagement forums such as leadership forums, dialogue sessions with politicians and leaders in other sectors, peer learning events, bilateral Civil Service exchange programmes, as well as other talent networking platforms.

In the course of work, you will be exposed to various aspects of talent management, leadership development, human resource management as well as organisational development.
