The posting

COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Singapore Management University is a place where high-level professionalism blends together with a healthy informality. The 'family-like' atmosphere among the SMU community fosters a culture where employees work, plan, organise and play together - building a strong collegiality and morale within the university.

Our commitment to attract and retain talent is ongoing. We offer attractive benefits and welfare, competitive compensation packages, and generous professional development opportunities - all to meet the work-life needs of our staff. No wonder, then, that SMU continues to be given numerous awards and recognition for its human resource excellence.

  • Team Leadership and Staff Development: Provide management oversight to build a high-performing, collaborative culture by setting clear performance expectations, coaching managers, addressing capability gaps, and driving professional development and succession planning.
  • External Partnerships and Practitioner Management: Build and maintain strategic relationships with artists, cultural organizations, government agencies, industry partners, and community groups, while overseeing the appointment and supervision of external coaches and trainers.
  • Stakeholder Engagement and Brand Positioning: Collaborate closely with internal university leadership, schools, and student groups, while monitoring industry trends to support Head, Office of Student Life in positioning the portfolios as distinctive contributors to SMU's brand and community presence.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
