Who we are:

The Product Strategy Office’s mission is to maximise GovTech’s resources to solve the most impactful problems, effectively and efficiently. We define GovTech’s overall product strategy, catalyse the setup of key programmes that solve national-level priorities and implement the processes and mechanisms to identify key problem areas and review products/programmes in terms of their product effectiveness, efficiency and iterative speed.

This role reports to the Director of Product Strategy Office and offers a rare opportunity to shape GovTech's product direction in driving strategic initiatives that advance Singapore's Smart Nation agenda.

  • Develop key product metrics to measure impact against problem areas, product effectiveness, efficiency and iterative velocity, across GovTech’s product portfolio, to inform resource allocation

  • Identifying key problems and blockers against product strategy, such as (i) setting up a process to define the impactful problem areas to solve for; and (ii) removing barriers to product adoption

  • Managing product doctrines, strategies and best practices like a product, in terms of developing them as a POC, taking in learning, ground realities from forward-deployed Product Leads, and interating on it.

  • For selected programmes, you will drive it as the Product Lead, leading product teams towards the north star. This would include defining the product vision, roadmap, strategy and drive full lifecycle development of products within the programme, from ideation to POC, POV, launch, scale and maintenance.

  • This is to (i) ensure the execution from strategy to implementation; (ii) tighten the feedback loop to improve strategy; and (iii) translate doctrine, strategies and practices to the programme to ensure product excellence & innovation

• Product/Programme Reviews

  • Drive reviews and recommendations for GovTech's products, getting alignment from management and product teams

  • Establish frameworks to measure and improve product success
