Job Role – What You Will Be Doing

• Marketing & Communications – Develop and execute marketing strategies to promote Skillseed’s initiatives and programme outcomes.
• Digital Presence – Manage Skillseed’s digital presence (with a focus on LinkedIn, our website, newsletter updates, and occasional use of other socials such as Instagram).
• Content Creation – Craft compelling content (posts, stories, reports, case studies) that highlight impact and engage stakeholders.
• Analytics – Track and analyse campaign performance to refine strategies for greater reach, resonance and responses.

Business Development & Partnerships

• Build, maintain, and cultivate a pipeline of leads with potential funders, partners, and collaborators using digital tools.
• Research and identify partnership opportunities aligned with Skillseed’s mission and programmes’ objectives.
• Maintain strong, trust-based relationships with partners and stakeholders.
• Support proposal writing, pitch development, and client-facing materials to secure new opportunities.

CRM & Relationship Management

• Use CRM systems to track leads, manage follow-ups, and ensure timely communication with prospects.
• Establish systems to sustain long-term relationships with stakeholders, funders, and community partners.
• Keep meticulous records of interactions, opportunities, and partnership status.

Cross-Team Collaboration

• Work closely with the rest of the team to ensure marketing and business development efforts align with Skillseed’s vision.
• Contribute to reporting and storytelling by translating programmes’ progress and impact into communication pieces for stakeholders and funders.

Job Requirements – What We Are Looking For

• Professional Experience & Skills – Proven track record (minimum 2 years) in marketing, communications, or business development, ideally in the training industry.
• Familiarity with CRM platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho) and ability to build and maintain a structured pipeline of leads.
• Strong proficiency with LinkedIn (posting, networking, analytics), email marketing, and experience managing brand presence across digital platforms.
• Excellent communication and writing skills — able to craft compelling content tailored to different audiences.
• Strong relationship-building skills, with a track record of cultivating and sustaining partnerships.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities under tight timelines.

Mindset & Attributes

• A self-starter who thrives on initiative, creativity, and ownership of outcomes.
• Strategic yet hands-on — equally comfortable developing plans and rolling up your sleeves to execute them.
• Empathetic, relational, and values-driven, with a passion for community impact.
• Meticulous in managing follow-ups and details, while also energised by the big-picture vision.
• Adaptable and resourceful in navigating ambiguity and evolving circumstances.

Other Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• Comfortable with digital tools (Google Workspace, Canva, project management tools).
• Excellent presentation, writing and networking skills.
• Availability for occasional evening/weekend events to engage with community activities (time-off will be provided).

We are looking for a candidate who is available to start as soon as possible, latest by 1 December 2025.

What We Offer

• Contract Terms – A 2-year full-time contract with competitive remuneration (between $3.8k to $4.5k), commensurate with experience. There is potential for renewal beyond 2 years based on company performance and mutual agreement.
• Work-Life Balance – Hybrid working arrangements (in-person and remote work), with 2 days WFH, 3 days WFO, and adjustable start/end times daily, with occasional evening/weekend commitments to engage with community activities (time-off provided).
• Centrally located – Work venue on WFO days at Waterloo Centre.
• Meaningful Work – Contribute to a pioneering project that directly impacts residents’ health, well-being, and sense of belonging.
• Professional Growth – Exposure to cross-sector collaboration with community leaders, subject matter experts, and social impact stakeholders.
