Job description

\"To mould the future of our nation\"

At the Ministry of Education (MOE), we believe in nurturing every learner and shaping the future of Singapore through education. We are committed to providing learners with a balanced and well-rounded education — supported by financial stewardship that ensures every dollar invested delivers meaningful outcomes for our nation. Through prudent financial management and innovative solutions, MOE enables quality education, from maintaining world-class facilities to funding impactful learning programmes across the system.

As the Lead Product Manager for Corporate Finance, you will define and lead the product strategy, roadmap, and measurable outcomes for MOE’s central corporate finance systems. You will establish product OKRs and success metrics, drive the digital transformation of finance operations across HQ and schools, and collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams. In this role, you will also mentor junior product managers and analysts, contributing to a high-performing, user-focused product team.

Corporate Finance

Revolutionizing Education through Tech for Public Good

We play a pivotal role in shaping Singapore's future, guiding the financial heartbeat of over 350 schools, empowering 33,000 teachers, and nurturing more than half a million students. Imagine the impact of streamlining the vast and currently decentralized financial operations that underpin this monumental effort – from budgeting and procurement to billing and payments, each school independently managing a complex web of activities.

We’re embarking on a digital transformation of corporate finance, not just for efficiency, but to unleash the full potential of our educators and students. By simplifying processes, standardizing operations, and leveraging cutting‑edge technology, we’ll slash administrative burdens and transaction costs. This will unlock powerful data analytics, enabling smarter resource allocation and maximizing impact where it matters most. Our vision is a future‑ready finance system: streamlined, scalable, and built on industry best practices. This isn’t just a job; it’s a chance to apply tech for public good, directly shaping a brighter future for Singapore’s education landscape.

Our Team

Step into a dynamic environment where financial innovation meets educational impact. Our team is made up of passionate individuals committed to solving challenges and driving meaningful change. We embrace diversity of thought, encourage experimentation, and foster a culture of continuous learning. As part of this team, you will lead and collaborate with UX designers, finance officers, and solution providers — forward‑thinking professionals equally invested in your growth and in transforming MOE’s corporate finance services.

Key Responsibilities

1. Define and Drive Corporate Finance Strategy, Roadmap, and Outcomes

• Develop and own the product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap aligned with MOE’s corporate finance digitalisation priorities.
• Establish, track, and deliver on product OKRs and success metrics to drive adoption, impact, and continuous improvement.
• Prioritise initiatives that maximise value creation and usability for both MOE HQ and schools.

2.Enhance Decision-Making and Financial Integrity through Data and Automation

• Strengthen finance operations by embedding data analytics to support strategic planning, such as budget forecasting and expenditure tracking.
• Redesign financial reporting through a dynamic Chart of Accounts (COA) to enable intuitive, multi-dimensional financial insights.
• Implement machine learning models to proactively flag anomalies and reduce financial risk through early detection of high-risk transactions.

3. Coach and Develop the Corporate Finance Product Team

• Mentor and develop junior product managers and analysts to build internal capabilities and foster a high-performance, user-focused culture.
• Promote cross-functional collaboration and continuous learning across the finance and digital teams.

Required Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Business Administration, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in Product Management, preferably in FinTech, SaaS, or government digital services.
• Strong track record of launching, scaling, and evolving impactful digital products.
• Experience with agile methodologies and full product lifecycle management.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and influence skills.
• Knowledge of UX/UI design principles and user-centered design.
• Passion for public good and interest in the education sector is a strong plus.

Key Competencies

• Product Leadership: Ability to define strategy, own outcomes, and lead multi-year product execution.
• Data-Driven Decision-Making: Able to translate data into actionable insights and financial intelligence.
• User-Centric Thinking: Designs with users in mind, balancing operational workflows with intuitive UX.
• Systems Thinking: Comfortable working across a complex organisation with diverse stakeholders and processes.
