[About CCYC]

GovTech's Culture, Community and Youth Cluster (CCYC) partners with the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) and its statutory boards, including the National Arts Council (NAC), People's Association, Sport Singapore, and MUIS, to deliver digital products that strengthen community life across Singapore. Our products serve millions of Singaporeans across community engagement, cultural participation, youth development, and sports and active lifestyle.

This role sits within CCYC and will be working on NAC products, specifically AHEAD (Arts & Heritage Evaluation, Analytics and Data Portal).

AHEAD is NAC's centralised data platform, used by NAC and partner agencies, that aggregates fragmented arts datasets to enable holistic sector insights, evidence-based funding decisions, and data-driven planning for Singapore's arts and cultural sector.

[About the role]

We are seeking an experienced Lead Product Manager to own the end-to-end reimagination of AHEAD, across its web portal and the full suite of data pipelines and analytics capabilities that serve NAC and its partner agencies.

• Own AHEAD's product vision, strategy and roadmap, and align it to divisional and cluster objectives

• Write clear product requirements and user stories, and work closely with designers and engineers through the development lifecycle
• Own product performance, tracking engagement and outcomes through product analytics and making data-driven decisions
• Foster a culture of speed, simplicity and agility, while managing the tradeoff between delivery pace and long-term technical debt
• Oversee updates, patches and bug fixes to maintain product stability

Team Leadership

• Lead, coach and mentor product managers, raising the capability of the team and developing talent toward the next level
• Set product practice, standards and ways of working within NAC ITD as the function grows
• Conduct regular check-ins with direct or indirect reports to align on priorities, coach performance and remove blockers
• Contribute to hiring standards and take part in recruitment as the team scales
