Manager / Senior Manager (Strategic Communications) , TTSH Medical Tower Planning & Development

The HealthCity Novena (HCN) Master Plan was developed by Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), the flagship tertiary hospital of NHG Health, to transform the 17-hectare campus into Singapore's premier integrated hub for healthcare, education, and research — anchored in the vision of advancing patient-centric care for the 1.5 million residents of Central and North Singapore.

Following the successful delivery of Phase 1, Phase 2 was launched on 9 September 2025 and marks the critical intensification of the campus, anchored by the new TTSH Medical Tower — which will add approximately 600 acute beds, an expanded Emergency Department, additional operating theatres, procedural suites, and specialist outpatient clinics, all purpose-designed to advance frailty-ready and technology-enabled care.

You will be part of the Medical Tower Planning and Development (MTP&D) team in the CEO's Office, serving as the strategic communications lead responsible for shaping and advancing the narrative of the Medical Tower project across internal and external audiences. You will develop and drive integrated communications strategies that build stakeholder alignment, influence perceptions, and position the Medical Tower as a landmark in the future of healthcare in Singapore. All publicity materials and external-facing outputs will be routed through TTSH Communications department to ensure adherence to NHG Health's corporate branding and organisational guidelines.
