Singapore PADANG ECOSYSTEM PTE. LTD. Full time

Padang & Co aspires to be at the forefront of the global movement towards a Net Zero future. We believe that driving sustainable growth not only creates new business value and jobs, but should also contribute to Sustainable Development Goals as we approach the 2030 milestone. We catalyse ecosystem collaborations and innovations by matching some of the world's largest organisations in the Asia-Pacific region with tech startups and SMEs to address today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. By doing this, we drive actions that are positive for the climate. We support an inclusive and collegiate working environment. We work in the office four days a week (Monday to Thursday) and from home on Fridays.

**Your Role**

As a Programme Executive, you will be involved in all programme and project phases: from researching and evaluating the right startups and SMEs that solve business problems, to facilitating the process of co-creation between the corporation and the startup or SME, and the proof-of-concept or pilot execution.

You will be supporting programmes and projects in areas like agrifood, built environment, decarbonisation of cities and industries. Not only will you develop knowledge in a range of big topics, you will gain an understanding about the functions of corporations and their challenges, and have an overview of business opportunities.

You will be critical to ensuring our programmes and projects are delivered on time and to the high standard that is expected of Padang & Co. In other words, the Programme Executive helps to deliver what we promise.

**Your Responsibilities**

**Programme/project management**
- Support the day-to-day relationships with key stakeholders, and programme/project execution and reporting
- Follow up with the startups or SMEs to monitor their progress in our programmes
- Conduct research into technologies, startups, trends, or creative solutions to business briefs, and present the research, use cases and possible solutions in a report and/or as a presentation
- Support the facilitation of a range of events (virtual, hybrid or physical), such as pitch/demo days, workshops, hackathons, etc.

**Ecosystem development and new business development**
- Help curate and maintain a database of startups and SMEs
- Engage with startups and SMEs in our programmes and networks, cultivate great partnerships with other ecosystem stakeholders, and bring your own ideas and energy in growing these relationships
- Help build a high profile of Padang & Co in the startup / entrepreneur, technology, innovation and other communities in Singapore and in the region. This may include contributing to thought-leadership pieces
- Contribute to our thought leadership content, such as landscape and trends reports

**Attributes we require of you**

We are looking for an ambitious and dynamic talent, who has a can-do attitude and enjoys working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. You should have:

- An strong interest in Sustainability, technology and startups
- Strong research, analytical and problem-solving skills
- Excellent written and oral communication and presentation skills
- Good attention to detail
- The ability to contribute ideas and think independently

Fresh graduates are welcome to apply.
