About This Opportunity
Singapore sits at the crossroads of the world's most dynamic digital economies, and Singtel is leading the charge — from next-generation 5G Core to cloud-native platforms powering millions across the region.

What You will Own

Delivery & Execution at Scale — From cutovers on live infrastructure to go-lives affecting millions of subscribers, you'll enforce rigorous change management, MOP discipline, and risk controls. On-time and on-budget are your standard.
Financial & Commercial Accountability — Own the program P&L: revenue recognition, cost control, margins, WIP, and billing milestones. Negotiate contracts, change requests, and claims with sharpness and integrity.
Cross-Functional People Leadership — Lead diverse, cross-cultural teams across Core, RAN, IP, Cloud, and OSS/BSS. Build a culture of accountability and develop the next generation of leaders.
Risk, Quality & Continuous Improvement — Surface and mitigate risks, champion audit-readiness, drive lessons learned, and push automation and standardisation that makes every future program smarter.
