Jobs at Public Service Division (Singapore) (Now Hiring) — 4 open

The Public Service Division (PSD), a Centre of Government agency, shapes people and organisation strategies across Singapore's Public Service. As the steward of Public Service-wide HR policies, PSD is reimagining how performance is recognised, organisations are designed and managers lead — building an agile, future-ready people system for an AI-enabled, competency-based and multi-generational workforce.

Performance management and organisation design are two sides of the same coin. High-performing organisations are built not only through how work is organised, but also through how people are recognised, developed and enabled to perform. In this role, you will design HR policies, people systems and organisational structures that enable the Public Service to deliver for Singapore today and into the future.

Join a team shaping the future of Singapore’s largest employer — with more than 150,000 public officers — and the people systems and policies that enable it to deliver for Singapore. If you are excited by solving complex workforce challenges and reimagining HR policy, operations and technology to deliver lasting impact at scale, we would love to hear from you.
