What The Role Is
You will lead a team that supports strategic transformation initiatives and policy development involving health-related regulation.
What You Will Be Working On
You will develop and review health regulatory policies — from drafting new legislation and amending existing frameworks, to designing sandboxes for policy experimentation. You will also oversee funding and governance frameworks where industry self-regulation is preferred.
Beyond policy work, you will build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders — from subject matter experts within MOH and the Health Sciences Authority, to other government agencies, industry players, and patient groups. This includes consultation, co-development of plans, and crafting communications and engagement strategies across the full project lifecycle, from upstream design through to downstream implementation.

- Strong analytical, written, and communication skills
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and address diverse stakeholder perspectives with socio-political sensitivity
- Strong leadership and management skills, with the ability to motivate and guide officers
