The National Platform Coordinating Office (NPCO) oversees multiple NPs that span across the 4 RIE Domains (Manufacturing Trade and Connectivity; Human, Health and Potential; Urban Solutions and Sustainability; and Smart Nation and Digital Economy) and 2 RIE Horizontals (Innovation & Enterprise; and Manpower).

The role will provide a unique perspective of the strategic priorities of the various National Platforms. We take a deep interest in developing our team and there will be opportunities to grow into new roles within the wider A*STAR community and public sector. A stint in NPCO will provide the successful candidate with skill sets and competencies essential for career development.
