**What does a Tech Partnerships Intern do?**
As a Tech Partnerships intern, you will work with the OGP Partnerships team to:Understand and unpack current tech development and tech adoption practices across the Government to establish our deeper understanding of the gaps and constraints faced, so we can effectively share our own practices and how they benefit other agenciesIdentify (through desktop research and interviews) technical policies, tools and practices that result in other organisations performing at a high level, and develop a framework for how those can be implemented at OGP or other government agenciesPropose and prioritise adaptations of technical policies, tools and/or practices for OGP to incorporate to improve internal effectiveness, along with metrics to track effectivenessPropagate proven tech policies / practices across Government that have been tested in OGP, which support tech agencies/divisions to operate products/services that are more reliable, more efficient at a lower cost (e.g. using cloud infrastructure, off-the-shelf SAAS solutions, alternative security practices) Modularise, streamline and connect OGP’s current tech policies, processes and tools for our users’ understanding At Open Government Products you’ll have the opportunity to shape how we reach and interact with the public as well as the international community. You will have a hand in creating compelling campaigns, resources, and experiences that demonstrate the team’s mission to deliver high-quality products and services to the public.

We look for people who:

- Are scrappy and resourceful - We are a small team that needs members who can find innovative ways to solve problems.
- Take initiative to make things happen - We need go-getters who are able to seek out opportunities themselves and not wait for instruction.
- Have strong communication and networking skills
- Have excellent analytical and quantitative skills, ability to analyse and make meaning out of data and translate that into actual changes OGP can consider making
- Demonstrate the ability to collaborate effectively with people in different roles / orgs
- Have a demonstrated ability to plan and execute tech partnerships or product development, product management, product ops or technical service delivery - Prior work and personal projects count for much more than specific degrees.
- Want to work for the public good - Our job is to push for change in government, so we need to challenge the status quo. We are public servants, we serve the public. This sometimes means ignoring political pressures and misguided policies. We need people who will push back if something is not in the public interest.
