You will work closely with businesses to understand their impact journeys, support their participation in Company of Good and partner initiatives, and identify opportunities for deeper partnership and value creation.

As part of the CIP team, you will also gain exposure to broader ecosystem-building efforts, including strategic partnerships, sector initiatives and national-level engagements that advance corporate purpose across Singapore.
