You conduct research and provide timely analysis of the information environment, with focus on defence, security developments and socio-economic issues.

On this, you conduct information network analysis, and study the resonance of narratives in the information environment to support the understanding of audience groups and terrain folders. You also liaise with various stakeholders on the collection requirements, planning and execution of collection plans. In addition, you work with various entities in supporting capability development. Your challenges lie in embracing the steep learning curve while providing accurate, relevant and timely products, and quickly making sense of ongoing developments and conversations in the information environment.

Good analytical skills and writing ability are essential. Having a good awareness of Singapore’s political, defence and security developments, as well as current affairs is required.

The mission of MINDEF and the Singapore Armed Forces is to enhance Singapore's peace and security through deterrence and diplomacy, and should these fail, to secure a swift and decisive victory over the aggressor. The Defence Executive Officer (DXO) scheme is the non-uniformed career scheme of MINDEF that offers myriad opportunities in various job functions, such as corporate communications, cyber security, data analytics and visualisation, defence policy, finance, HR, psychology, and more. Embodying the same level of commitment towards defence, DXOs work together with their military counterparts to contribute to MINDEF/SAF’s mission and ensure Singapore's security and stability. United by this common cause, our lines of defence complement each other to secure the prosperity and progress of our nation.
