Intern (Service Performance Management), ServiceSG
Public Service Division
Internship
Closing on 25 Sep 2025
What the role is
The Singapore Public Service wants to transform the service experience for citizens receiving public services. Our ambition is to transform the current citizen experience of public services, from one of having to navigate across different functional agencies to get things done, to an experience of the public service “knowing, understanding and interacting with me as One”.
ServiceSG, a cluster under PSD, has been set up to champion integrated public service delivery. It works with different agencies across the public service to integrate over 600 services around key moments of life of citizens, and serve citizens in an integrated way, through a central omni-channel service delivery system comprising a digital platform (“LifeSG”), a network of physical ServiceSG centres and a central contact centre. ServiceSG is working to establish an integrated data, digital architecture and clear inter-agency operational processes so as to drive the omni-channel WOG service delivery.
What You Will Be Working On
The Service Policy and Leadership team within ServiceSG helps to strengthen the development of the service functional domain by uplifting service policies and standards, implementing service leadership and workforce development programs, building IT tech enabling infrastructure across whole of government and fostering a service excellence culture. You will get the opportunity to be involved in initiatives to transform our citizens’ experiences.
