**About Brinc**
Brinc supports entrepreneurs through venture programmes, commercialisation support and investor and corporate networks. Its APAC-rooted platform connects research, founders, customers and capital, with international operating reach.
Purpose of the role
Lead a Singapore-based healthcare and medtech venture-building programme shaped by A\*STAR's agreed priorities. Turn scientific assets and market problems into evidence-backed venture opportunities, while building the local and international relationships that help founders reach customers and investors.
Key responsibilities
* Translate A\*STAR's agreed scope into a practical venture-building strategy, delivery plan and evidence-based selection framework.
* Lead programme design across venture formation and commercialisation, aligning support with each project's readiness.
* Build relevant working relationships with A\*STAR, Enterprise Singapore, hospitals, universities, corporates, investors and other ecosystem stakeholders.
* Establish commercial validation and international market pathways matched to venture needs, including through Brinc's wider network.
* Oversee founder, entrepreneur-in-residence and domain-expert selection and matching; make evidence-backed progression recommendations.
* Lead the programme team and coordinate specialist input, making clear where clinical, regulatory, legal or IP expertise is required.
* Prepare steering-group reviews, risk registers and decision records; respect A\*STAR's scientific, IP and institutional authority.
* Set and monitor agreed KPIs, distinguishing delivery outputs from shared venture outcomes rather than guaranteeing sales, investment or exits.
* Develop a useful founder and expert community, with targeted introductions and follow-through linked to venture milestones.
* Maintain accountable delivery quality and communicate capacity, dependencies and scope changes early.
**Requirements**
* Demonstrable leadership in venture building, early-stage entrepreneurship, technology commercialisation or investment, with relevant healthcare or medtech exposure.
* A credible Singapore network across research, healthcare, government, corporate or investment communities.
* Experience translating technical opportunities into customer evidence, commercial pathways and founder-led execution.
* Sound judgement on selection, diligence, governance and stakeholder management in a regulated sector.
* Ability to lead a small delivery team and work across institutions, cultures and international markets.
* Clear written and spoken English and confidence presenting evidence to senior stakeholders.
Nice-to-haves
* Direct experience supporting research spin-outs, hospital innovation or university technology transfer.
* Familiarity with Singapore healthcare adoption, procurement, regulatory and reimbursement pathways.
* Founder or operator experience, or experience supporting ventures into overseas markets.
