About Singapore Global Network
Singapore Global Network (SGN) is a division within EDB that focuses on cultivating a strong community of overseas friends, family, and supporters of Singapore. Its mandate is to expand a network of individuals whose capability, connection to Singapore, and influence can strengthen the country’s business and talent ecosystem, while also increasing global awareness of Singapore as a dynamic Asian hub.
The Communities & Networks team leads region-focused efforts to develop and engage SGN’s international networks. Team members work from Singapore or from overseas offices, and are responsible for shaping and delivering market-specific strategies.
Role Overview
In this position, you will collaborate closely with EDB colleagues, other government bodies, and in-market partners from industry and community organisations to design and implement market development strategies for SGN activities.
Key Responsibilities
- Create and run plans that expand, engage, and strengthen SGN’s member community in your assigned region through both digital and in-person initiatives, including tailored one-to-one outreach and broader group engagements.
- Build, grow, and sustain a strong base of corporate and community partners who can help deliver SGN’s intended outcomes.
- Work with other EDB divisions and Singapore government agencies to plan and execute initiatives that make effective use of SGN’s network.
- Track sentiment on the ground, spot new opportunities, and develop insights that support SGN strategy and the wider national agenda.
