A*STAR's Procurement Division is undergoing a transformation — from a process-based structure to a client-centric operating model organised around client-facing Operations Teams, an Enablement & Governance function, and — over time — a Category Management Unit with dedicated Category Leads. The Division's aspiration is to be a trusted, client-centric procurement partner that enables research and corporate missions.
As a Manager or Senior Manager in an Operations Team, you will own end-to-end procurement execution for an assigned portfolio of Research Institutes and/or corporate entities — from requirement shaping through sourcing, evaluation, approval and contract award. You are the single accountable officer your clients turn to for procurement advice, and you are expected to exercise sound commercial judgement, not merely administer process.
