What the role is

We are looking for an experienced Learning and Development (L&D) Specialist to join our Leadership Development team that creates learning experiences and other developmental interventions to support the leader growth journey of managers and directors in the Singapore Public Service.

What you will be working on

• Managing leadership milestone programmes and other leadership development workshops: At appropriate junctures in their leader journey, our leaders attend selected milestone programmes to learn and grow during such leadership transitions. You will manage at least one of such programmes, working with a range of stakeholders (e.g. decision makers, associates, vendors, and internal administration) to ensure their proper and timely implementation. You will shape the learning design of these programmes, evaluate learner’s satisfaction, and provide recommendations for improvement for each programme. In addition, as a project manager for other skills-based leadership development workshops, you will also need to manage the workshops’ budget and plan for regular runs.

In addition, you should have some experience with designing and delivering digital learning experiences to positive impact for leaders. If you have a shorter relevant work experience, you may still be considered for the role but as a more junior L&D Specialist in line with your experience. • Knowledge and Expertise: Excellent project management skills and ability to manage and influence stakeholder and partner relationships to progress each project within budget and timelines, anticipating risks and problem solving along the way.
