Singapore Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment Full time

**What the role is**
- Environmental sustainability has underpinned Singapore’s policymaking since our independence. As a small city state with limited natural resources, we had to protect our environment to preserve our longer-term developmental opportunities. As early as the 1970s, we started putting in place policies to do so by managing pollution and conserving our water resources. Today, Singapore is widely recognised as a green and sustainable city, and Singaporeans enjoy clean air, water and environment. Environment sustainability remains a key priority for the government.
The Environmental Policy Division evaluates, reviews and formulates environmental and sustainability policies and strategies. This spans a broad range of areas including Environmental Public Health, Hawker Centres and Markets, Environmental Protection, as well as Zero Waste and Circular Economy.
We are looking for a Senior Executive/ Assistant Director to be part of the Hawker Policy Team.

**What you will be working on**
- Hawker centres and markets are a key node in many Singaporeans’ daily lives. Hawker policies and issues are close to the hearts of Singaporeans given they are highly impactful, visible, and politically significant. Inscription of Singapore’s Hawker Culture as UNESCO Intangible Culture Heritage Hawker Culture, the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the recent global inflationary pressure on business cost have brought about greater impetus to support and transform the hawker trade, and to ensure that hawker centres and markets can continue to be relevant and serve future generations.
As part of the Hawker Policy team within Environmental Policy Division, you will play an important role in the following areas:

- Formulating strategic policies and programmes to meet the key policy objectives of: (i) ensuring access to affordable food in a clean environment; (ii) sustaining and developing the hawker trade; and (iii) championing hawker culture and hawker centres as community spaces
- Performing research and analysis on environmental policies, both domestic and international, to evaluate and inform policy and programme design and implementation.

You will also have the opportunity to contribute to projects on environmental sustainability within the Environment Policy Division.

**What we are looking for**
- Strong analytical skills. This means you should be able to take an issue and dissect it to identify the specific problems / gaps and develop considered solutions to those problems / gaps
- Strong synthesis skills. This means you should be able to draw links / connections between a range of seemingly disparate issues, and frame those issues coherently in a logical and intuitive way
- Strong communication skills, both in writing and speaking. This means you are able to be succinct yet precise, by raising only the most pertinent points. It also means that you are able to express your points in a logical manner, where one issue is intuitively related to the next
- Ability to work both independently and in teams

The last criteria is the most important. You do not need to have a background in hawker policy domain, or policy work at the onset, although that is helpful. We will help you to develop and grow your skillsets which will be useful in advancing your career interests while contributing meaningfully to the betterment of Singapore.
