• 5+ years of experience in graphic design, multimedia production, or creative communications.
• A Strong storytelling instinct: you can distil abstract ideas into engaging visuals and narratives.
• Proficiency with design and editing tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Canva, Final Cut Pro, or similar).
• Ability to juggle multiple projects independently while delivering on time.
• Understanding of how visual elements work together to build cohesive brand experiences.

• Familiarity with start-ups, innovation ecosystems, venture capital, or education-focused organisations.

This is more than a design role—it’s your chance to shape how Singapore’s innovation and start-up stories are told and remembered. You’ll be at the heart of our ecosystem, bringing to life the journeys of entrepreneurs and the impact of research. Your work will not just create assets, but craft narratives that inspires future generations.
