Upon graduation, Greg Lewis joined the Ministry of Health's legal team for nearly three years, where he worked on issues including xenotransplantation, legislation governing assisted reproduction treatments, germ cell line genetic modification, and regulatory legal advice related to SARS. He later transitioned to the role of Foreign Policy Analyst at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, utilising the research, analytical, and writing skills acquired during his academic training.
