• Support the operationalisation of agencies’ engagements - coordinating processes, documentation, and testing.
• Contribute to the design and rollout of new APIs that enable data freshness and inter-agency integration.
• Understand and map data flows and user journeys between systems; identify dependencies, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
• Manage and triage operational issues related to identity records, ensuring user data remains consistent and accurate across systems.
• Develop playbooks, SOPs, and internal documentation to strengthen our operational readiness and cross-team coordination.
• Analyse operational data to identify trends, guide prioritisation, and drive continuous improvement.
• Act as a bridge between frontline teams and technical teams to ensure smooth issue resolution and feedback loops.

What we are looking for:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in product operations, operations, or project/program management in a tech or systems-driven environment.
• Experience with data flows, backend processes, data warehouses (Snowflake, Redshift) and SQL querying.
• Ability to break down complex systems into clear user journeys, operational steps, and risks.
• Bonus: Experience working on large-scale, high-reliability platforms or in the public sector.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical concepts for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A practical understanding of how databases, APIs, and system architecture fit together to create end-to-end user journeys.
• Structured, detail-oriented, and accountable - clear documentation and follow-through are essential.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering, product, policy, and frontline teams.
• Curious about backend systems, data integrity, system reliability, and how identity data flows across government platforms.
• A collaborative, humble mindset with a strong sense of ownership.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with OIDC, OAuth, and common API integration patterns.
• Experience supporting or improving internal tools (e.g., operations dashboards, admin portals, internal user interfaces).
• Exposure to data governance, digital identity, or public-sector systems.
