Job Description

What the role is:
Lecturer (Fashion Management and Design)
What you will be working on:
Are you passionate about fashion, entrepreneurship, and mentoring young creatives? Do you believe in nurturing bold ideas and empowering the next generation of designers to thrive in a rapidly evolving design industry?
Temasek Polytechnic's School of Design is looking for a dedicated and dynamic professional with an educator's heart, to join our Diploma in Fashion Management & Design. This is more than a teaching role - it's an opportunity to lead, inspire, and empower the next generation of fashion thinkers and entrepreneurs.
If you're a passionate individual who is ready to shape the future of design education with your expertise, creativity, and drive both in and beyond the classroom - we want to hear from you.
Successful candidates will:

• Lead lessons and workshops that integrate digital fashion tools (e.g. Clo3D) into the design and product development process.
• Guide students through real-world product development cycles - from research and concept development to tech packs and final production (virtual or physical).
• Mentor students as they explore their creative identity and develop commercially viable, digitally enabled design solutions.
• Recognise and respond to the diverse learning needs and backgrounds of students, providing both academic and pastoral support to nurture their overall growth and well-being, and creative confidence through thoughtful, student-centred interventions.
• Support interdisciplinary, innovation-led learning that bridges design with related fields such as technology, sustainability, and communication, encouraging students to explore diverse perspectives and real-world applications.
• Collaborate with industry and academic peers to co-create curriculum that reflects emerging practices and changing trends in the professional and educational landscape.
• Promote skills upgrading amongst working adults through the development and facilitation of professional workshops and continuing education training programmes.

What we are looking for:
The candidate should have:

• At least 5 years of industry experience, preferably with a strong digital and product-focused portfolio in the local/global fashion industry.
• Proven expertise in digital fashion and 3D visualisation, with hands-on experience using tools such as Clo3D to develop and communicate design concepts.
• Strong understanding of the fashion ecosystem, with insight into both local and global market dynamics, consumer behaviour, and how digital innovation is transforming the way fashion is designed, marketed, and delivered.
• Well-versed in digital fashion workflows, including the integration of e-commerce platforms, digital marketing strategies, and agile product development across physical and virtual retail landscapes.
• A passionate mentor, educator, or industry leader who is motivated by shaping young minds.
• A clear and confident communicator who brings authenticity, curiosity, and creative energy into the classroom.
• Teaching or mentoring experience preferred - or a strong desire to contribute to education and student growth.
