Job description

[What the role is]

The National Library Board (NLB) nurtures Readers for Life, Learning Communities and a Knowledgeable Nation by promoting reading, learning and history through our network of 28 libraries across Singapore, the National Library and the National Archives of Singapore.

At NLB, you can look forward to a flexible, hybrid work environment with rewarding, impactful deliverables that improve the lives of the community. With caring colleagues, you will be in an ideal environment for professional development, innovation and impact.

We can offer you:

• A chance to Impact the Community, bridge gaps and empower everyone with the opportunity for learning and discovery.
• An opportunity to Innovate and Push Boundaries. We value ideas, curiosity and a passion for innovation to transform our libraries and archives.
• An organisation that Cares for your Growth and Wellbeing through investment in staff development and wellbeing in a supportive and collaborative environment.

You will be working on EDMs, Catalogue and Event Content Production as an Digital Content & Marketing intern under NLB Academy.

[What you will be working on]

• Support EDM & catalogue production: design EDMs for programme announcements, reminders and updates; develop and maintain visual materials for the training catalogue
• Support event (physical and online) & training documentation: photograph and film training sessions/events; edit footage into highlight clips, photo sets and thumbnails; organise and archive assets for reuse
• Support digital & internal content: assist with intranet updates and internal communications collateral; draft captions, short write-ups and EDM body text
• Support brand consistency & quality: maintain visual and brand consistency across collateral; proof-read and quality-check materials before release

[What we are looking for]

• A good eye for both detail and aesthetics — notices when something is slightly off, not just when it works
• Working proficiency in basic design software (e.g. Canva, Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, or equivalent)
• Comfort using a camera or smartphone for photography and videography, including basic editing
• Good written English; able to draft short, clear copy for EDMs and captions
• Strong organisational skills; able to manage multiple small deliverables against deadlines
• A proactive, receptive attitude, willing to take feedback and iterate
• Able to commit to a 9–12-month internship term, including occasional event coverage outside standard office hours

Duration: 9 – 12-months
