ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Headquartered in Singapore, they are a privately funded and non-profit organisation founded on

Singapore and Vietnam.

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

• An ideal candidate for the Executive role would have had 2-3 years of work experience in the public service (whether in Singapore or abroad), and experience in course development and/or training delivery, preferably targeted at adult learners and involved in some form of blended learning. Experience with course administration would be important.
• Working knowledge of how learning objectives, training formats, and adult learner needs align – enough to support curriculum experts and shape effective learner experiences
• Working knowledge of public sector systems and institutions, and international governance challenges

• Able to effectively multi-task. You will be managing several concurrent projects with different partners and timelines. It will be important to be organised and detail oriented.
• Resilient. This means being willing and able to learn by doing, and to take on board feedback appropriately, until you get it right.
