The Senior Manager/Manager (Student Life) is expected to plan and deliver programmes that strengthen student engagement, wellbeing, leadership, inclusion and the wider campus experience. The role typically involves managing student activities, working with student organisations and campus partners, coordinating events, developing policies, monitoring budgets and evaluating programme outcomes. Candidates should have a degree and relevant experience in student affairs, education, community development, events or a related field. Strong project-management, communication and stakeholder-management skills are important, together with the ability to work independently, support diverse student communities and handle several priorities in a fast-paced university environment. Experience in a higher-education setting and familiarity with student development initiatives would be advantageous.

Staff members generally work in a structured, collaborative environment where service quality, inclusion, continuous improvement and support for student success are important aspects of university life.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with opportunities in education, technology, finance, healthcare, logistics, tourism and professional services. English is widely used at work, while Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are also official languages. The culture is multicultural, orderly and generally fast-paced, with excellent public transport, reliable services and a strong food scene. Housing ranges from shared rooms and condominium units to public Housing and Development Board flats, although rent can be high. Living costs are manageable with planning, but central areas are more expensive. Foreign professionals usually need an Employment Pass or S Pass sponsored by an employer; eligibility depends on salary, qualifications and current government criteria. New arrivals should arrange housing, healthcare coverage, banking and a local mobile plan. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid year-round, with frequent rain, but beaches, parks and nearby regional travel provide attractive leisure options.
