From the employer

Key responsibilities

Landing Pad Start-up Support (Core)

Oversee the PIER71 Landing Pad — a structured soft-landing initiative enabling start-ups with promising technologies and clear commitment to access mentorship, fundraising, market entry, and ecosystem connectivity.
Design and iterate offerings to drive start-up growth in key areas such as revenue, capital access, team, and market expansion.
Analyse effectiveness of offerings against PIER71 outcomes (e.g. revenue growth, collaborations secured) and make recommendations for improvement.

Community Building

Maintain and evolve the start-up engagement strategy and calendar across all PIER71 initiatives; grow start-up participation in mentorship, peer learning, and ecosystem events.
Manage end-to-end relationships with Landing Pad start-ups, ensuring strong participation & retention rates, high satisfaction, key metrics capture, and ultimately start-up growth.
Support start-up onboarding/offboarding processes with Finance/Admin (documents, checklists, turnaround times).
Landing Pad contributor management
Grow and strengthen relationship with Landing Pad contributors (e.g. mentors, domain experts, consultants).
Convert Landing Pad contributors into active inputs (mentoring hours, office hours, workshops, connections, investor readiness support).
Equip and communicate regularly with Landing Pad contributors to ensure they can support effectively (e.g. materials are prepared and distributed in timely manner).

Manage regional partners and channels (Americas)

Build relationship and partnerships with maritime-related entrepreneurship-support organisations (ESOs) and government-linked entities via NUS Enterprise presence across both North & South America (i.e. BLOCK71 U.S.).
Support the market entries of international start-ups from the Americas (inbound) and market expansion of local start-ups into the same regions (outbound).

Requirements

3–5 years in startup ecosystem development or a related role
Strong relational and communication skills to secure trust and buy-in from multiple and cross cultural stakeholders (founders, mentors, investors, institutional partners)
Strong organisational skills with ability to multitask from start to finish
Clear experience in establishing alignment and attribution between start-up support activities and organizational outcomes
Team player who can galvanise support for owned initiatives and reciprocate across other initiatives/functions

Advantage:

Familiarity with the maritime or deep-tech sector
Exposure to cross-border startup support or market entry initiatives, preferably involving the Americas
Bachelor's degree in Business, Entrepreneurship, or a related discipline
