Singapore's lead agency for economic development strategy and business investment
EDB is a government agency tasked with positioning Singapore as a global business and innovation hub. The tech stack skews toward Salesforce ecosystem (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud) and enterprise analytics (Tableau, SAP), paired with modern web development tools (React, Node.js, TypeScript) — revealing a hybrid model combining CRM-driven sales/partnership workflows with internal dashboards for policy and investment tracking. Hiring is concentrated in policy, marketing, and operations roles, with senior and manager-level positions dominating, suggesting a mature organization focused on scaling existing programmes rather than building new technical infrastructure.
