We work as the interface between large corporations and startups. Corporations come to us with both conventional and non-conventional business problems that need to be solved, and we find game-changing ways to solve these problems through running paid pilots with startups and innovators.
As a company that champions Open Innovation, we are a collaborative bunch.
Every team member is challenged to think and do things differently.
We're based out of LEVEL3, a workspace by Padang & Co and the Unilever Foundry. The first of its kind in corporate innovation, LEVEL3 (L3.work) supports Singapore's emerging startup ecosystem and entrepreneur community to create and conenct to real business opportunities.
As a Community & Events Intern / Extern at Padang & Co, you will experience first-hand how we bring together stakeholders and people from diverse communities and create the conditions for them to collaborate to solve real-world problems. In the past six years, we have organised over 60 hackathons and challenges and well over 100 workshops.
You will gain hands-on experience in the process from managing targeted outreach campaigns to engaging with existing and new communities to draw event participants to planning and executing the various Open Innovation events.
You will get a chance to:
· Get an insider view of the startup and innovation ecosystem and see how technology is shaping the future in various industries;
· Research, recognise, and segment various communities, and create the foundations for a targeted campaign;
· Write engaging copy for messaging through various channels and targeted to various groups;
· Assist in the planning and execution of Open Innovation events (such as workshops and hackathons)– from conceptualisation to timeline management and execution;
· Manage logistical requirements by liaising with vendors and suppliers;
· Understand client / partner briefs and coordinate between various stakeholders to execute them effectively; and
· Chronicle the highlights of events in blog posts.
It would be great if you are:
· a team player, who enjoys the energy of a startup
· a independent worker who is organised and detail-oriented, whilst multi-tasking
· a dreamer who is interested in learning beyond your job scope, and is always seeking new ways of working
Ideally, you would also have some experience planning and executing events.
