Overview
The Pro-Enterprise Panel (PEP) team is part of MTI’s Enterprise Development Division which is responsible for the growth of Singapore’s enterprises.
We are passionate about working with businesses and regulatory agencies to create a smart and agile regulatory regime that serves to enable innovation, new business models and technological advancements.
Businesses in such an environment will be more competitive, productive, and Singapore will be the perfect base for businesses looking to internationalise.
We are advocates within the Government for businesses, seeking and acting on feedback and novel business proposals, pushing for regulatory flexibility and piloting of new business ideas while maintaining regulatory robustness to protect public interest and safety.
We work closely with the Public Service Division on regulatory transformation efforts to reduce compliance burden and enhance regulatory nimbleness, and with the SME Pro-Enterprise Office (SME PEO) based in Enterprise Singapore to identify systemic regulatory gaps and pain points, as well as seek out and act on suggestions on how government rules and regulations can be improved.
Our ideal candidate for the role is a self-starter and a creative problem solver, who can switch between detailed analysis and high-level strategic thinking.
This candidate will also have the experience, and the personality needed to build a network of partners both in the private and public sector.
A good understanding of the regulatory considerations and processes in Singapore would be ideal.
