RESPONSIBILITIES

This role sits in NVPC's Corporate and Industry Partnerships (CIP) department, which drives the Company of Good (COG) initiative - a national platform that supports and recognises companies in Singapore to integrate purpose and social impact into their core business strategies.

Today, there are over 1,000 recognised Companies of Good, helping businesses translate purpose into action across five key impact areas: People, Society, Governance, Environment, and Economic.

As the anchor for this work, NVPC's CIP department plays a pivotal role in shaping and strengthening Singapore's corporate purpose ecosystem - catalysing partnerships and collective impact, with the business community as a driving force for a stronger Singapore.

We are now seeking a purpose-driven and impact-led individual to help advance this national momentum - where both meaningful programme delivery and growing awareness of COG will increasingly become key levers for scaling impact.

In this role, you will support the design, execution and evaluation of programmes and platforms that encourage companies to give and volunteer more, as they embed purpose and impact into how they operate.

Your core work will centre on three key areas: (1) strengthening corporate capabilities in social impact, (2) building and growing the Company of Good community, and (3) scaling impact programmes.

This role works closely with colleagues across CIP to understand what companies are experiencing on the ground, and uses that insight to continuously refine our programmes - ensuring the overall Company of Good journey for firms remains relevant and valuable, not just individual initiatives in isolation.

Build and Grow the Community

• Support the design and facilitation of community-building and engagement efforts within the Company of Good ecosystem e.g. peer learning, networking events, and platforms for programme alumni to connect, share, and deepen their contributions

• Experience in managing multiple concurrent projects and working across different departments and teams
• Comfortable forging and growing corporate partnerships to deepen organisations engagement with NVPC
• Ability to gather and synthesise input from colleagues and stakeholders to inform programme design and improvement, rather than working in a silo

• Ability to communicate clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and uncertainty while keeping an eye on outcomes
• Exposure to ESG, sustainability, or social and community impact initiatives is an advantage
