Buona Vista, Singapore A*STAR Agency for Science, Technology and Research Full time

The National Robotics Programme Office (NRPO) is responsible for catalysing differentiated robotics R&D capabilities at our Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) and Research Institutes (RIs) for the benefit of our economy and society. NRPO also works to foster public-private partnerships to ensure robotics technologies and IPs developed with public funding are relevant for industry and are commercialised into useful products, services and solutions that are adopted in Singapore and around the world.

A key role of NRPO is to bring together end-users across different industries, robotics & automation companies, and our IHLs/RIs to identify use cases and technology gaps that public-private partnerships can help to address. In so doing, we enhance Singapore?s robotics R&D capabilities and help Singapore-based robotics & automation companies to innovate and differentiate themselves in the market.

Another key role of NRPO is to work together with partner agencies to grow our robotics (supply-side) industry comprising system integrators, robot vendors, software and component suppliers. A strong and vibrant robotics (supply-side) industry with companies developing and making robotics products and solutions here for export will help to support our end-user industries and act as vehicles for the commercialisation of technologies and IPs developed by our IHLs/RIs.

We are looking for a self-motivated person with a keen interest in robotics, to join NRPO to perform the following:
Assist in planning and implementing initiatives to fulfil NRPO?s objectives, with a focus on local and overseas events that showcase Singapore?s robotics innovation ecosystem and that helps to foster connections and collaborations amongst end-users, robotics & automation companies and IHLs/RIs.
Establish NRPO?s calendar of events including a flagship NRPO event and identifying events that NRPO should partner with or participate in.
Plan and execute NRPO?s flagship and other events including engaging with stakeholders, partners and vendors.
Work closely with our corporate communications partner to develop communications plan and key messages.
Develop and manage our communications platforms and channels including NRPO?s website and social media.

**Requirements**:
3-5 years of relevant working experience, preferably with a background in events, public relations or community development.
Operational experience in organising and managing events including driving schedules and tasks.
Able to multi-task and work well under time pressure.
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
Adept at social media communication platforms and channels.
Good interpersonal skills to liaise and work with multiple stakeholders, partners and vendors.
