The Programme Manager will support the planning and delivery of initiatives at NUS’s Heat Resilience and Performance Centre. Responsibilities are likely to include coordinating research and industry programmes, managing timelines and budgets, preparing reports and presentations, organising events, and maintaining relationships with academic, government and business stakeholders. Candidates should generally have a degree, strong programme or project management experience, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities independently. Experience in sustainability, climate adaptation, the built environment, health, research administration or partnership development would be advantageous. The role requires a highly organised, collaborative and proactive professional who can translate strategic objectives into practical programmes and measurable outcomes.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is Singapore’s flagship comprehensive university and one of Asia’s leading higher-education institutions. It offers a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across fields including science, engineering, medicine, business, computing, law and the humanities. NUS is strongly research-oriented, with extensive partnerships involving governments, companies, hospitals and international universities. Its work covers major global priorities such as climate change, sustainability, health, technology and urban development. The university operates a diverse, international campus community and supports innovation through research centres, institutes, entrepreneurship programmes and industry collaboration. Employees typically work in a professionally demanding environment with opportunities to contribute to projects that have regional and international impact.
Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city with strong opportunities in universities, research, technology, finance, healthcare, engineering, sustainability and regional business services. English is widely used at work, while the multicultural society reflects Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences. Life is convenient and safe, with efficient public transport, excellent healthcare, plentiful food options and easy access to parks and neighbouring countries. Housing can be expensive, especially near central districts, so many newcomers compare rental costs carefully and use MRT connections when choosing where to live. Most foreign professionals need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass or S Pass, subject to eligibility and government approval. Relocating usually involves securing an offer, arranging the work pass, finding accommodation and obtaining health and banking arrangements. Singapore’s hot, humid climate and frequent rain are important lifestyle considerations.
