About Mobility

Technological advancements have disrupted the way people and goods move from one place to another whether through land, air or sea. EDB’s Mobility Division was formed in 2018 to make sense of the disruptions affecting mobility, in order to position Singapore for growth opportunities arising from these disruptions, including autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles and urban air mobility. As part of the team, you will find yourself at the forefront of shaping Singapore’s emerging Mobility ecosystem, as you contribute to the building of Singapore’s economic success.

This is an individual contributor role. You will report to the Vice President and Head of Strategy (Mobility).

Responsibilities

• Sense: Conduct in-depth analysis of emerging trends and developments in Mobility sectors across land, air and sea, through interviews, meetings and desktop research. You will meet the most exciting mobility companies globally, understand their business models and pain points, and explore how their cutting‑edge innovation may fit into Singapore’s emerging Mobility ecosystem.
• Develop: Develop and design value propositions and products that are relevant to targeted mobility companies. You will explore how the Singapore Mobility ecosystem (including companies, research institutions and government agencies) can partner with companies in emerging mobility sectors to create value.
• Execute: Collaborate with teams in EDB (e.g. Accounts, New Ventures, Policy & Planning) and government partners to implement value propositions including initiatives, policy changes and programmes that will enable the growth of the Mobility ecosystem in Singapore. You will work on large‑scale, groundbreaking projects with the whole‑of‑government (WOG) and influence how mobility comes to life for Singapore.
• Scale: Scale adoption and buy‑in of relevant products and value propositions, by working with Accounts, Global Operations and the Investment Facilitation team.
