Specifically, the candidate's team will work on the development and deployment of the National Digital Identity (NDI) system across the government and nation.

The candidate will contribute to planning and project management, working through legal regulations and policy barriers, developing resourcing frameworks for digital identity system deployments, negotiating cross-agency dependencies and designing narratives which reach out to citizens and businesses.
The candidate is not required to develop software or hardware, but will work closely with the development teams in GovTech and other organisations to ensure deployment and adoption of digital identity systems.
