Job description

GovTech is the lead agency driving Singapore's Smart Nation initiatives and public sector digital transformation. As the Centre of Excellence for Infocomm Technology and Smart Systems, GovTech develops government capabilities across Data Science and AI, Application Development, Smart City Technology, Digital Infrastructure, and Cybersecurity. Its mission is to engineer digital government and make lives better for citizens, businesses, and the public service.

The role

This position sits within the Weather Product team at the National Environment Agency (NEA), which designs, builds, and continuously improves consumer and business-facing weather platforms, including weather.gov.sg and myENV. The team's goal is to become Singapore's trusted, go-to source of weather and environmental information, delivering accurate, hyperlocal, and real-time insights that help the public make more informed decisions. The role involves leading UX design across these mission-critical platforms, working alongside product managers, engineers, meteorological forecasters, and policy stakeholders.

What you would do

• Lead end-to-end UX design for consumer and business-facing weather products, including weather.gov.sg and myENV
• Connect and align user journeys across multiple products within the weather pillar to create coherent, unified experiences
• Translate complex weather data, forecasts, and warnings into clear, simple, and intuitive interfaces
• Plan and conduct discovery research (interviews, usability testing, concept validation) to inform design decisions in ambiguous problem spaces
• Shape information architecture and interaction patterns that help users understand and act on weather information
• Contribute to and evolve the design system, establishing consistent UI patterns across products
• Guide stakeholders through design decisions, articulating rationale and advocating for user needs
• Drive iterative design improvements through rapid testing and feedback cycles
• Collaborate with other designers across NEA and help shape UX standards, practices, and capability over time

What they are looking for

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in UX Design, HCI, Interaction Design, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• At least 5 years of experience in UX or product design, with a track record of shipping high-quality digital products
• Strong experience designing consumer-facing (B2C) digital products at scale, across web and/or mobile
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex data and concepts into clear, intuitive user experiences
• Experience creating and contributing to design systems
• Solid grounding in user research methods and ability to lead discovery in ambiguous problem spaces
• Strong strategic thinking: ability to design for outcomes and user behaviour, not just screens and features
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and guide them toward better design outcomes
• Self-directed and comfortable operating with autonomy in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
• Resilient and iterative approach: committed to continuous feedback and learning

Working arrangements

The role is based in Singapore. GovTech supports hybrid working, with up to three work-from-home days per week depending on the role.
