Programme Lead, IT​/Tech, IT Support

CFTE is a global education and capability-building organisation focused on the impact of AI, technology, and innovation on individuals, organisations, and governments. We work with leading institutions across financial services, public sector, and higher education to design and deliver high-impact programmes that prepare professionals and leaders for the future of work.

CFTE operates as an entrepreneurial organisation with global reach, leveraging technology, data, and lean teams to deliver programmes  work at the intersection of innovation, institutions, and execution.

We are looking for a Country Programme Lead to take ownership of CFTE’s programme delivery and expansion in Singapore. This is a senior, execution-focused role for someone who combines discipline with pace. You will be responsible for ensuring CFTE’s programmes are delivered reliably and professionally, while helping scale delivery capacity in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. This is not a corporate role with large teams or slow decision cycles.

It is a hands-on leadership role where technology, structure, and judgement are used to move quickly without losing credibility.

• Own the end-to-end delivery of CFTE programmes in Singapore, ensuring consistent quality and smooth execution across institutional and enterprise clients.
• Act as the primary local point of contact for programme-related engagement with partners, clients, and instructors.
• Support the growth and coordination of CFTE’s instructor community to meet increasing delivery needs.
• Work closely with CFTE’s central team to translate programme commitments into executable delivery plans.
• Build and improve lightweight operational processes that support reliable delivery at scale, using technology wherever possible.
• Represent CFTE professionally in local stakeholder interactions, balancing speed, rigour, and long-term trust.
• Provide clear, concise visibility on programme progress, risks, and delivery capacity to senior leadership.
• We are looking for an execution leader who is comfortable operating between structure and speed.

• Experience scaling programmes, operations, or delivery in an entrepreneurial, fast-growing, or transformation-driven organisation.
• Comfort working with public-sector bodies, regulators, or large institutions without adopting slow, bureaucratic behaviours.
• Experience coordinating multiple stakeholders and external contributors in parallel.
• A track record of using tools, systems, or automation to increase leverage and reduce manual effort.
• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, with attention to detail.
• You are likely to be:
• Entrepreneurial, accountable, and biased towards action.
• Disciplined and structured, without being rigid or slow.
• Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
• Credible and calm in institutional environments.
• Motivated by ownership, learning, and impact rather than hierarchy.
• Take real ownership of CFTE’s activities in Singapore, one of the world’s most important innovation and policy hubs.
• Work in a small, high-trust team that moves quickly and expects high standards.
• Help scale impactful programmes for governments, institutions, and senior leaders.
• Operate at the intersection of technology, execution, and real-world impact.
