Senior Manager / Assistant Director (Talent Management), Public Service Commission New Public Ser[...]

What the role is :

The Public Service Commission (PSC) was constituted in 1951 as an independent organ of state to appoint, promote, transfer, dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over public officers. The PSC Secretariat provides support to the PSC, which includes formulating conduct and discipline policies to ensure officers maintain the highest standards of personal conduct and integrity. One significant non‑statutory role of the PSC is the award of PSC scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate studies. Under the Talent Management arm of the team, we formulate scholarship policies and oversee talent attraction and development of PSC scholarship holders as potential future leaders in the Public Service.

What you will be working on :

Reporting to the Senior Assistant Director (Talent Management), you will lead a team of scholarship officers to support and facilitate the Public Service Commission’s work in securing and developing top‑tier talent through PSC scholarships and maintaining oversight on scholarships throughout the public service.

• Ensure all‑rounded development of scholarship holders. This would include advising scholarship holders on their developmental plans and career options, and counselling those who are not coping well.
• Oversee the day‑to‑day management of scholarship administration including finances (e.g. budget, plan and review various expenditures such as maintenance allowances, onboarding, settling‑in), legal agreements, university relations and other forms of sponsorships such as GapYear and internships. Provide consulting services to the Ministries on scholarship administration.
• Plan and execute high‑signature scholarship events / ceremonies and other development programmes for scholarship holders and information sessions for students in pre‑tertiary and tertiary institutions.
• Network with partners such as local and overseas tertiary institutions, and engage pre‑University and tertiary students, their parents and teachers.
• Implement the branding and outreach efforts across multiple platforms (including media) to enhance the PSC scholarship value proposition to key stakeholders and manage media and international relations.
• Manage the Scholarship selection exercises.
• Stay abreast of external practices to recommend leading practices that can be adapted for use in the civil service. Build knowledge management and promote sharing of information and best practices in scholar development methodology and scholarship administration.
• Oversee and prepare reports for stakeholders and public info on the work of the PSC (e.g. Annual Report), as well as for Senior Management when required.
