Project Overview

In recent years, administrative services have become more familiar to citizens. Applying for administrative procedures via smartphones is becoming the norm, and the use of My Number health insurance cards is expanding at medical institutions and pharmacies. In addition, DX through public-private collaboration is accelerating in fields such as disaster prevention, education, and transportation. People's lives are becoming more convenient and comfortable.

As the command center driving digital reform across society, the Digital Agency aims to realize a 'human-centered digitalization that leaves no one behind.' Going forward, it plans to strengthen 'user-oriented service expansion,' such as simplifying administrative procedures through online portals. The Digital Agency itself is also transforming into an 'administrative organization that maximizes the use of AI and data.'

Diverse talent is indispensable for driving this transformation. The Digital Agency has focused on career recruitment, hiring from various industries including finance, manufacturing, foreign-affiliated consulting, and media. To strengthen these efforts and accelerate organizational change, the Agency is now widely recruiting with En's cooperation. The open positions are deputy director and section chief-level staff (general positions) responsible for policy promotion and on-site follow-up. These positions allow for broad experience through job rotation while deepening expertise.

This time, the National Personnel Authority's civil service examination (written test) will not be held; instead, selection will be conducted through interviews and aptitude tests similar to general corporate recruitment, aiming to attract people with diverse backgrounds. En will support recruitment through job listing services such as 'En Tenshoku,' 'AMBI,' and 'Midoru no Tenshoku,' providing consistent support from hiring to onboarding. Leveraging its accumulated expertise, En aims to update the digital society. Applications from motivated individuals are welcome.

Comment from Digital Agency Recruitment Staff

The Digital Agency's mission is 'Human-centered digitalization that leaves no one behind.' Social challenges surrounding Japan, such as population decline, aging, economic stagnation, and declining international presence, are becoming increasingly advanced and complex, while citizen needs are diversifying.

To realize a sustainable society and improve people's lives, 'digital' is a key keyword. To ensure every citizen benefits from digitalization, it is necessary to design systems, operations, and processes from a user perspective.

For this purpose, it is essential for people with diverse backgrounds from both the public and private sectors to collaborate as Digital Agency staff. We look forward to applications from those who are passionate about applying their expertise and knowledge gained through past experience to the national level.
