The Role

You'll sit at the intersection of business analysis and project delivery — translating complex stakeholder needs into clear requirements, overseeing vendors, and driving ICT projects from scoping through implementation.

Project Management

• Manage scope, budget, and schedule across maintenance and development projects
• Produce regular management reports and ensure delivery within agreed cost, timeline, and quality parameters
• Identify project risks early and recommend mitigation strategies
• Oversee multiple vendors and external ICT service providers

Operations & Incident Management

• Assess and resolve day-to-day application, infrastructure, and security issues
• Manage ICT incident recovery and establish processes to prevent recurrence
• Assess service requests and evaluate the impact of system enhancements

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• Degree in Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent
• At least 3 full project development lifecycle or project maintenance experiences
• Strong requirements elicitation skills — design thinking, persona analysis, customer journey mapping
• Experience in web-based and mobile IT project delivery
• Familiarity with AWS services: ECS Fargate, Lambda, RDS, QuickSight, EC2, CloudWatch, S3
• Comfortable working in Agile/DevOps environments
• Excellent communication skills — able to pitch ideas and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Strong pluses

• Project Management certification (PMP or equivalent)
• Agile certification (Certified Scrum Master preferred)
• Experience in a Singapore government or public sector environment
• Familiarity with government IT governance and digital service adoption frameworks

You'll Thrive Here If You

• Can hold the big picture and drill into the detail without losing either
• Are structured and methodical under pressure, juggling multiple workstreams
• Build trust with stakeholders at all levels — from operations teams to senior management
• Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
