Job description

[What the role is]

[LTA-T&ID] MANAGER / DEPUTY/ ASSISTANT MANAGER, DEPLOYMENT OPERATIONS

[What you will be working on]

The Centre for Autonomous Mobility (CAM) leads Singapore’s national effort to deploy autonomous vehicles (AVs) safely and at scale. AVs will reshape how Singapore moves — across use cases spanning passenger cars, public buses and goods vehicles. In the Deployment Ops team, you take each AV deployment from plan to operating service – owning the programme schedule, driving delivery across workstreams, and managing the operators, developers, infrastructure stakeholders, to ensure AVs are deployed smoothly.

Responsibilities

• Plan and manage each deployment programme


• Work with operators and developers to evaluate, review and fine-tune service routes and concepts of operations.


• Build and own the programme plan, schedule and milestones for each AV deployment, tracking progress against baseline and reporting status.


• Identify risks, dependencies and bottleneck early, to develop mitigation plans to keep deployments on track.


• Align deployment operational plans with longer-term AV deployment strategy and transport plans, so that AV services improve overall transport connectivity.

Drive deployment operations on the ground

• Run deployments end to end — from planning through AV applications, vehicle approvals, testing and service launch — keeping multiple workstreams on tight timelines.


• Work with industry and technology partners to resolve issues quickly and get vehicles tested and deployed on schedule.


• Oversee operational readiness and develop standard operating procedures for the smooth running of AV services once launched – monitor performance, surface issues, manage incidents, and drive continuous improvement.

Coordinate across stakeholders

• Bring together industry players, operators, government agencies and internal teams, aligning their requirements, securing their support, and resolving operational issues.


• Partner with Corporate Communications, industry media teams and CAM’s Engagement team to align public announcements and high-signature events around key deployment milestones.

Communicate deployment progress to leadership

• Prepare clear progress reports on deployment plans, and statuses for senior management, including distilling complex operational detail into clear recommendations.

[What we are looking for]

• Knowledge preferably in Engineering or a related field


• Has a strong programme or project management track record — preferably at least 2 years planning and delivering medium-to-large-scale projects or programmes.


• Organised and meticulous — comfortable owning detailed plans, tracking progress against baseline, and keeping many moving parts on schedule while working independently in a fast-paced environment.


• Works well across stakeholders — listens, builds alignment across cross-functional teams and external partners, and drives to outcomes independently while having the right instincts to know when to escalate for decision-making.


• Communicates clearly — writes and reports well, with an eye for detail.


• Takes initiative and stays calm in ambiguity — AV deployment is new ground, so plans will change and you’ll help shape them.


• Hands-on programme management and project planning.


• Experience in operations management, contracts or vendor management.


• As part of the shortlisting process for the role, you may be required to complete a medical declaration and /or undergo further assessment.
