Shaping Singapore’s digital future, we at the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) often tackle head-on challenges that come with developing and deploying emerging, frontier technologies across various sectors. We Dream, Design and Deliver in the technology and media space, leading Singapore into a limitless digital future.

Join us in playing an exciting role in building Singapore’s digital metropolis.

If you have what it takes to build Singapore’s digital future with us, we are looking for a Senior Business and Digital Development Manager to join our team in DEX (SGTraDex Technologies Pte Ltd), a wholly owned subsidiary of IMDA.

What the role is:

DEX is Singapore’s trusted data‑exchange digital utility — powering secure and interoperable data flows across key sectors such as Supply Chain & Logistics (SGTraDex), Built Environment (SGBuildex), Healthcare (SGHealthdex), and more to come.

As part of the Business and Digital Development team, you will help drive DEX’s growth and adoption by translating strategy into execution — shaping sectoral data utilities, forging partnerships, and enabling real‑world impact through digital transformation.

The Business and Digital Development Manager will report to the Head of Business and Digital Development.

What you will be working on:

In this dynamic role, you will expected to:

• Take end‑to‑end ownership of sectoral and cross‑sector initiatives, from strategy to execution.
• Partner with government agencies, industry stakeholders, and solution providers to co‑develop and implement data‑exchange solutions.
• Understand the industry landscape and stakeholders’ business objectives and challenges, acting as a trusted advisor to development and implement tailored digital solutions to address their needs.
• Coordinate across multi‑disciplinary teams to deliver high‑impact projects that drive adoption and measurable value.
• Ensure user needs and industry priorities are at the forefront of DEX’s product and policy development.

This role offers the opportunity to shape the design and adoption of national‑level data infrastructure - ideal for those who thrive on solving complex, cross‑sector challenges in a fast‑moving environment.

What we are looking for:

• At least 5–8 years of experience leading digital transformation, data, or technology projects.
• Proven track record in customer‑facing roles - driving solutioning, stakeholder engagement, and implementation success.
• Strong business acumen and ability to connect policy, technology, and market needs.
• Appreciation for data‑driven systems (e.g. APIs, interoperability, data platforms) and how they enable digital transformation would be an advantage.
• Proven project management experience - able to plan, track, and deliver complex, multi‑stakeholder digital projects from conception to launch.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and cross‑sector coordination skills, with experience engaging both public and private sector partners.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity; highly organized, methodical, and execution‑oriented.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills; able to engage senior executives and technical teams alike.
• Familiarity with government processes and national‑level digital initiatives is a plus.
• Experience in the Built Environment or Healthcare sectors will be an added advantage.

Join us in building the trusted data highways that power Singapore’s digital economy.
