This growth in AI-linked careers comes as the Singapore government declared plans to prioritise employment pass (EP) applications for a number of roles that it recently added to its Shortage Occupation List (SOL) released in March this year, Indeed said. Some of the jobs included list include AI scientists, data scientists and software engineers.

Indeed said AI roles are usually well paid above the average monthly salary of $5,070 in Singapore. For example, the average monthly salary for senior data scientists is $10,395, followed by software architects at $10,071, data engineers at $8,171, data scientists at $8,108, and machine learning engineers at $7,776.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
