What you will be working on:
Project #1: Data analysis of Procurement Perception Survey and Procurement Performance Assessment Framework This project focuses on analysing the Procurement Perception Survey (PPS) and Procurement Performance Assessment Framework (PPAF) data to uncover actionable insights that drive whole of government (WOG) procurement development. Key responsibilities: o Identify key performance gaps and critical drivers, as well as reveal correlations that can influence procurement outcomes and user satisfaction. o Generate comprehensive reports for each Ministry Family so that procurement teams can make informed decisions and targeted actions to develop their procurement function maturity. o Support analysis on value metrics for the procurement function, ensuring that the insights drawn from PPS and PPAF data align with broader procurement functional goals. Project #2: AI-assisted Procurement Portal Migration and Enhancement The current Procurement Portal on the government intranet contains a wealth of information for officers involved in procurement work. As it migrates to a new platform, there is an opportunity to ensure only up-to-date and relevant content is carried over and also enhance the usability of this content for users so they are able to make use of it in the flow of work. This project focuses on using AI tools to assist in identifying, classifying, and prioritising large amounts of textual, diagrammatic content in a variety of formats to be migrated from the existing Procurement Portal to a new platform. Key responsibilities, using AI tools: o Stock-take all currently available Procurement Portal content and assess their currency and relevancy by checking against the latest Instruction Manuals (IM) and other policy documents. o Identify content (such as guides, checklists, playbooks or other instructive material) that can be further developed into job aids for users. o Make recommendations on how to organise the content in the new portal to improve the user experience for users.

This role offers exposure to strategic HR operations, cross-government stakeholder management, and data analytics in a public sector context. Project #4: GeBIZ X The GeBIZ X Project aims to implement a Whole-of-Government (WOG)'s next generation procurement platform which digitalises the whole procurement process.
