Lead, Youth Engagement & Partnerships

Growthbeans, a Singapore-based social enterprise, is seeking a Lead to shape the strategy, steward relationships, manage budget and risk, and guide a Programme Executive who runs day-to-day delivery at the Dakota Breeze Residents' Network ( DBRN) Youth Space.

The successful candidate will:

• Own overall strategy for the youth space, connecting the work to the organisation's broader goals
• Build and manage senior-level relationships with schools, government agencies, and community partners
• Own and manage the programme budget and risk, turning "let's pilot it" into measurable, fundable, community-owned outcomes
• Drive marketing and outreach strategy to draw youths into the space, staying on trend to source the right facilitators
• Apply design thinking to operationalise ideas while still thinking outside the box
• Ensure delivery follows the systems and platforms required by stakeholders; oversee accurate data compilation and analysis for reporting and decision-making
• Guide, develop and nurture the Programme Executive and wider team, growing their leadership along the way
• Define KPIs and evaluation frameworks; present outcomes to funders and leadership
• Anticipate problems ahead of time and set mitigation strategies — knowing when to resolve independently versus engage stakeholders for input
• Manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously, applying strong project management discipline to deliver outcomes end-to-end
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve programme delivery and outcomes

• 4-5+ years of relevant working experience in programme management, partnerships, or youth development, ideally with some leadership exposure
• Strong project management skills, comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and projects at once
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, and risk management skills
• Agile and resourceful, comfortable navigating ambiguity; won't say no without first piloting to test feasibility
• Collaborative, with the ability to leverage community and team resources rather than going it alone
• Self-starter who's independent, respectful, responsible, and communicates well; takes real accountability and ownership of KPIs and outcomes
