Job Description

Are you looking for a place of work that promotes a culture of growth and development, while having fun? We are looking for a Product Executive to join our growing full-time team.

At Halogen, our goal is to help young people develop positive belief systems and values so that they can take action in their circles of influence. As an end-to-end youth development hub, we aim to build foundational character, mindsets, and skill sets in young people by providing equal accessibility to leadership programmes and initiatives. This same experience is created for our staff as well.As a youth development organisation, we work with the youthful vibrancy of our stakeholders and students, ensuring that while we seek to catalyse social impact through our young people, we also do the personal good of building a staff team that is enabled to do their best work. As Product Executive, you will be playing an integral role in ensuring the quality and relevance of our products supporting youth development. These may span anywhere from programmes to merchandise, and your contribution is directly linked to the future of our work for youth. You will report to the Chief of Product and Innovation.

• Own and develop various products that serve the mission and raison d’être of Halogen.
  
• Engage internal stakeholders to customise and build training workshops for our character development programmes.

• Writing programmes that fulfil the learning objectives of those we serve – youths, educators, and government administrators.
• Playing board games and experiential games with a view to apply parallel learning onto the work of product development.
• Reading academic journals, books, and other materials to increase knowledge on frameworks, development models, and applicable theories.
• Reviewing existing programmes to ensure continued relevance for future utilisation and generational impact.
• Participating in cross-department meetings to contribute the product developer’s perspective and your view on youth development.
  

Requirements
