To continue positioning, projecting, and protecting the Temasek brand, by effectively communicating our Temasek story, the Public Affairs team is looking for an Assistant Vice President to drive our sustainability-centred brand and communications strategy.

The Team :

The Public Affairs function is made up of four pillars:
  • Brand Building and Positioning
  • Media and Issues Management
  • Reputation Management
  • Programme Management
This role will focus on Brand Building and Positioning as well as Media and Issues Management, but from time to time will also cover cross-team assignments across the other pillars.

The Role :

This role has a deep focus on sustainability-centred business and corporate activities, given Temasek's long term commitment on mainstreaming sustainability and strong desire to actively articulate its sustainability journey to diverse stakeholders. These range from business associates and partners, governments and regulators, to sustainability and ESG-focused international boards and organisations.

The individual will manage, and from time to time, lead communications efforts to support the Sustainability Group (SUG), whose strategy guides sustainability-related activities with the investment community, international organisations and fora like conferences, and media engagements.

The role also involves driving strategic communications efforts to highlight new sustainability-oriented investments and investment platforms across the firm, with a focus on speaking/thought leadership engagements and overall project coordination.

The candidate must be highly adaptable and can effectively contribute within matrix structures in a fast-paced and dynamic cross-functional, cross-cultural environment.

Responsibilities :
  • Work with business stakeholders to raise the profile of the firm's sustainability-centered projects, deals, and initiatives amongst global audiences
  • Assist with building the firms' overarching sustainability brand positioning and narrative through media, industry, and community engagement
  • Support and execute communications plans aligned with Temasek's sustainability narrative, including handling media queries and issue management
  • Contribute to the production of sustainability-themed content (e.g., videos, feature stories, op-eds, infographics etc.)
  • Contribute to and manage various integrated communications programmes and campaigns, as required
  • Manage agency partners and vendors to deliver on these programmes and campaigns
Requirements :
  • Minimum 8 years (AVP) / 10 years (VP) of relevant work experience in mass communications, public relations, sustainability, or other related fields, with proven experience crafting and executing sustainability/ESG communications strategies.
  • A broad understanding of the global sustainability/ESG space, with informed perspectives on the latest industry policies, developments, and trends
  • Proven track record at building, implementing, and managing processes that lead to effective information management and communications between multiple stakeholders.
  • Excellent verbal and written skills, including strong presentation skills for audiences at senior management level.
  • A critical thinker who can 'connect the dots', as well as an energetic self-starter who is highly adaptable with a can do attitude, coupled with a strong interest in sustainability
  • A team player with proven organisational skills to lead multiple, concurrent projects within tight deadlines; and ability to work constructively in a matrix environment with multiple stakeholders and partners
