Events and Volunteer Engagement Manager/Assistant Manager

Position Overview

The Food Bank Singapore was set up in 2012 with a clear goal: to be the driving force behind a food secure Singapore and reduce food waste. As a registered charity with IPC status, we support about 30 food beneficiary partners to bring nourishment to more than 300,000 people across Singapore. We believe that telling our story well is just as important as the work we do - and that's why we're looking for someone exceptional to join our team.

To bring our mission to life, we're looking for an Events and Volunteer Engagement Manager - a key team member who will help us grow our impact through engaging events and a strong volunteer community. This role is ideal for someone who loves planning, thrives on connection, and believes in the power of people working together for a good cause.

As the Events and Volunteer Engagement Manager, you will be responsible for planning, designing, and executing events that raise awareness and engage external stakeholders (donors, volunteers, community, beneficiaries, etc) to support our fundraising goals. From food drives to major campaigns, school outreach to community events, you'll help create moments that matter.

You will also lead our volunteer programme by inspiring, recruiting, and managing volunteers from different walks of life - from corporate groups to individuals, schools, and families. Volunteers are the heart of our work, and your role will ensure they feel valued, supported, and connected to our mission.

This role has a dual reporting line: to the Head of Brand and Communications (for events and engagement) and to the HR & Operations Manager (for volunteer programme)
