Assistant Director - Deputy Director (Market & Regulatory Design)

[What the role is]
Climate change is a global existential threat, and Singapore is doing its part to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions for a more sustainable future. The power sector contributes about 40% of Singapore’s greenhouse gas emissions. We need to significantly reduce the power sector’s emissions, while ensuring that the power system remains secure, reliable, and sustainable. To overcome our land constraints, Singapore is looking to tap on electricity imported from regional power grids, to allow Singapore to access cleaner energy resources outside Singapore's borders. The role will involve driving EMA's efforts on electricity imports and regional power grids, to allow Singapore to access cleaner energy resources outside our borders.
[What you will be working on]
You will join a dynamic and multi-disciplinary team tasked to ensure that the regional renewable energy projects and electricity imports are implemented on time, through policy and regulatory measures, and partnership with stakeholders. Specifically, you will lead the Market & Regulatory Design (MRD) branch in the Energy Connections Office.  In this pivotal role, your key responsibilities will include:

Nurturing and guiding the MRD team to deliver the strategic outcomes for Singapore and EMA. 
Managing cross-agency policy and operational trade-offs for Singapore to bring in large-scale electricity imports
Engaging industry stakeholders and financial institutions to seek feedback for policies on electricity imports
Ensuring that electricity imports projects are implemented on time.

Keen interest in energy transition issues and passion for the public service.
8 years of relevant experience in policy development, industry engagement and/or the energy sector, with at least 2 years in a supervisory capacity.
Comfortable with navigating ambiguity, challenging the status quo, and willing to speak up and put forward new solutions.
