Job description

What the role is:

This role sits within the PR and Communications team, part of the wider Brand and Engagement Division. One week you might be briefing a media crew on site or chasing down a filming request, the next you are deep in Annual Report copy or rewriting a EDM copy. Whatever the task, the words going out need to be right.Science Centre Singapore is telling a new chapter of its story. A good chunk of that story is carried by the everyday copy, LinkedIn posts, press releases, speeches, campaigns, even the lines nobody clocks until they are wrong. We are bringing someone on to help write that chapter, and where it goes from here will depend on what they bring to it.This role reports to the Head of Communications and suits someone early in their career, a fresh graduate or with a year or two of experience, who wants real exposure to how a national institution runs its media and content operations.

What you will be working on:

Media Relations and Events

• Handle filming requests and media queries as they come in
• Coordinate media visits, and support event execution on the ground
• Be present on-site for events and festivals, including some evenings and weekends during peak periods
• Prepare and pack media kits

Writing and Content

• LinkedIn copy, written and edited to a high standard
• Festive and seasonal conversation starters
• Copy for key communications, including the Annual Report
• Support on event and tenant listings

Campaigns and Reporting

• EDM campaigns for Science Centre Singapore and KidsSTOP: compiling content, liaising with internal stakeholders, and setting up campaigns on the CRM platform
• Support for earned and paid media engagement, including research
• Reports and day-to-day media correspondence

What we are looking for:

• Writing ability matters most here. Please include one or two writing samples with your application.
• Marketing, communications, or journalism background is a bonus. We would rather see strong writing from someone without it than weak writing from someone with it.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office. Exposure to CRM, EDM, or content platforms would help; comfort picking up new tools like Canva is a plus.
• Comfortable being on your feet at events, not just at a desk. This role is as much hands-on support as it is writing.
• Able to manage several things at once without missing deadlines, even when priorities shift.
• On LinkedIn in a way that shows. You know a good post when you see one, and why it works.

Only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
