Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. It is a complex global challenge that calls for concerted international action and collaboration between governments, industry and individuals. Singapore, as a low-lying city state, is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Hence, we have to work together with the international community to address climate change and build a climate resilient future. At MTI, we seek to pursue sustainable development by balancing economic needs with environmental protection and social inclusion. The transition to a low-carbon and green economy will be especially challenging for Singapore, given our scarce natural resources and open economy. We believe that the pursuance of economic growth can be compatible and mutually reinforcing with environmental objectives. MTI’s Industry Sustainability team in the Industry Division works with other agencies such as EDB, EnterpriseSG, NCCS, MSE, and MOF, to catalyse Singapore’s economic transition to a low-carbon economy. This includes overseeing decarbonisation plans for industry sectors while maintaining economic growth. The team also coordinates and drives efforts to seize new opportunities and create good jobs for Singaporeans in the green economy. The team plays a critical role in charting the path forward for Singapore’s low-carbon economic transition, and we’re looking for driven, capable and committed individuals to join us.

You will be part of a dynamic team responsible for formulating Singapore’s strategies to transition our economy to a low-carbon future. You will examine issues from multiple perspectives, assess the trade-offs, and work with other government agencies and relevant stakeholders on one or more of the following work streams: • Oversee and review decarbonisation strategies for our businesses and industries to enable industries to transition to a low-carbon future while maintaining economic competitiveness and good jobs for Singaporeans. These include, overseeing decarbonisation roadmaps and green industrial policies. • Develop and formulate policies to enable Singapore to seize opportunities in the transition towards a low-carbon economy. These includes strategies to grow Singapore’s carbon markets and coordinate WOG green economy strategy which includes areas like low-carbon solutions, carbon markets and green financing. 2 • Develop and oversee enablers in support of the transition to a low-carbon economy in areas such as green skills and jobs, sustainability regulations. • Develop and implement communications and engagement plans in collaboration with MTI corporate communication and engagement officers to support the implementation of the above climate strategies and policies, in close coordination with other agencies in the Singapore Government. As the climate space is fast evolving, an officer may be deployed across different workstreams, based on the officer’s development and MTI’s organisational needs.

Prior experience working on climate change/sustainability areas in the public sector will be viewed favourably; and/or • Possess relevant experience in climate change/sustainability areas in the private sector, and/or non-government organisations – experience in carbon markets or other environmental goods and services is an advantage. • Possess strong analytical skills • Possess strong interpersonal, organisational, and communication skills, with the ability to work well both independently and in a team • Possess strong ability to learn, is driven, meticulous and resourceful • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
