[What the role is]
[LTA-T&ID] MANAGER / DEPUTY/ ASSISTANT MANAGER, DEPLOYMENT OPERATIONS
[What you will be working on]
The Centre for Autonomous Mobility (CAM) leads Singapore’s national effort to deploy autonomous vehicles (AVs) safely and at scale. AVs will reshape how Singapore moves — across use cases spanning passenger cars, public buses and goods vehicles. In the Deployment Ops team, you take each AV deployment from plan to operating service – owning the programme schedule, driving delivery across workstreams, and managing the operators, developers, infrastructure stakeholders, to ensure AVs are deployed smoothly.
Responsibilities
Plan and manage each deployment programme
- Work with operators and developers to evaluate, review and fine-tune service routes and concepts of operations.
- Build and own the programme plan, schedule and milestones for each AV deployment, tracking progress against baseline and reporting status.
- Identify risks, dependencies and bottleneck early, to develop mitigation plans to keep deployments on track.
- Align deployment operational plans with longer-term AV deployment strategy and transport plans, so that AV services improve overall transport connectivity.
Drive deployment operations on the ground
- Run deployments end to end — from planning through AV applications, vehicle approvals, testing and service launch — keeping multiple workstreams on tight timelines.
- Work with industry and technology partners to resolve issues quickly and get vehicles tested and deployed on schedule.
- Oversee operational readiness and develop standard operating procedures for the smooth running of AV services once launched – monitor performance, surface issues, manage incidents, and drive continuous improvement.
Coordinate across stakeholders
- Bring together industry players, operators, government agencies and internal teams, aligning their requirements, securing their support, and resolving operational issues.
- Partner with Corporate Communications, industry media teams and CAM’s Engagement team to align public announcements and high-signature events around key deployment milestones.
Communicate deployment progress to leadership
- Prepare clear progress reports on deployment plans, and statuses for senior management, including distilling complex operational detail into clear recommendations.
[What we are looking for]
- Knowledge preferably in Engineering or a related field
- Has a strong programme or project management track record — preferably at least 2 years planning and delivering medium-to-large-scale projects or programmes.
- Organised and meticulous — comfortable owning detailed plans, tracking progress against baseline, and keeping many moving parts on schedule while working independently in a fast-paced environment.
- Works well across stakeholders — listens, builds alignment across cross-functional teams and external partners, and drives to outcomes independently while having the right instincts to know when to escalate for decision-making.
- Communicates clearly — writes and reports well, with an eye for detail.
- Takes initiative and stays calm in ambiguity — AV deployment is new ground, so plans will change and you’ll help shape them.
- Hands-on programme management and project planning.
- Experience in operations management, contracts or vendor management.
