About EDB New Ventures
EDB New Ventures is the venture building arm of EDB. Our aim is to support the creation and scaling of high potential new ventures from Singapore to become globally leading businesses. To do so, we are spearheading novel ways of partnering with companies on their corporate venturing journeys and with established global founders as they build their next ventures from Singapore. This includes embarking on joint venture building sprints alongside partner corporates / global founders, supporting corporate-startup partnership initiatives, co-investment with corporates to risk-share early-stage growth of their ventures and active portfolio value creation support to scale each venture.

We are looking for an individual to join us as a Senior Manager to manage and support a portfolio of identified high growth startups to scale, as well as develop growth initiatives and value propositions for the ventures ecosystem in Singapore. Join our fast-growing and dynamic team

5. Lead analysis of gaps and opportunities (at industry, sector or firm level) within portfolio of accounts, to inform new growth initiatives.

6. Lead or support project teams to manage ongoing, as well as develop new growth initiatives (e.g. talent, community, marketing) that can significantly attract more founders/ corporates to work with us and value-add to the ventures in our portfolio.

7. Provide input where relevant to appropriate teams in EDB and/or rest of government on policies or product/ service development (e.g. in incentive design, resourcing).
