  • Lead the team in running multiple makerspaces and related facilities for public use within NLB’s venues, looking at ways to spark curiosity and inspire everyone from the savvy to the inexperienced to engage with the facilities.
  • Identify and develop strategies for deeper engagements with communities, both existing and potential, to be part of the NLB makerspaces for their ideas and projects.
  • Proactively grow the network of partnerships from the Singapore ecosystem to collaborate with us on projects and initiatives.
  • Work with the team to apply design thinking practices to engineer high quality services and experiences, and study the results to arrive at ways to improve the next iterations.
  • Actively engage with stakeholders from inside and outside Whole of Government, to raise awareness of the impact and meaningfulness of our work, and influence buy-in for new opportunities and collaborative participation.
  • Project manage a dynamic team of subject matter experts for meeting milestones with high quality deliverables.

[What we are looking for]
Job Requirements
  • At least 6 years of relevant experience in education strategy, curriculum development, and/or project management and leadership.
  • Experience in research and conceptualisation of strategies.
  • Experience in leading small teams to productively allocate resources for the most optimal outcomes.
  • Experience in efficient tracking of project status and planning tactical next steps.
  • Management of multiple stakeholders in projects. Work in Government sectors is a plus.
  • Excellent written and verbal communications and presentation skills in English. Additional mother tongue languages will be a plus.
  • Familiarity and interest in digital making and/or digital media and content is good to have.
