[About this role]

We are looking for a Product Manager to work on the development and adoption of a centralised data discovery platform that serves as the single authoritative entry point for public officers across the whole of government to find, evaluate, and request access to government data.

Today, data discovery is fragmented across multiple platforms, each with its own go-to-market effort, onboarding process, and user experience. This creates confusion, duplication, and missed opportunities for data reuse. Your role is to change that — by building a product that becomes the definitive "first stop" for any public officer looking for government data, and by driving the ecosystem-level coordination needed to make that vision real.

This role that sits at the intersection of product, data governance, and cross-agency coordination. You will be responsible for both the strategic positioning of the platform and the day-to-day execution of product improvements — from search experience and catalogue coverage, to request workflows and integration with downstream delivery systems.

[What you will be working on]

You will be involved in planning and executing the full product lifecycle including the following:

Crafting Cross-Product, End-to-End Experiences

• Engage directly with business users, demand aggregation and deal desk stakeholders to thoroughly understand their operational workflows, pain points, and strategic objectives.

• Design technical solutions by identifying the most effective combinations of existing GovTech platform products. As necessary, actively engage in agentic engineering—using AI coding agents, natural language prompting, and low-code/no-code platforms to rapidly prototype, build, and test working solutions.

• Generate functional prototypes in real-time alongside business users to validate assumptions and refine the product direction.

• Work out the product outreach and promotion strategies with the team responsible for customer success.

Product Strategy & Lifecycle Management

• Define clear, measurable success metrics for each solution, focusing on business user adoption, time saved, and operational efficiency.

• Manage the backlog for your specific solutions, balancing the need for rapid feature delivery with long-term technical debt management.

• Champion the "build with GDP platforms" and AI-assisted development mindset across the organisation, demonstrating how rapidly complex problems can be solved.

• Work with the Product Marketing team in transitioning business users to new solutions, ensuring they understand the capabilities and limitations of the built products.

• Establish continuous feedback channels with business users to inform iterative improvements and identify new platform feature requests to feed back to the core

What We Are Looking For

• Diploma/Degree in Computer Science, Infocomm Technology, Engineering or related subject area with relevant experience. Candidates with more years of experience will be considered for more senior roles

• 8+ years experience in product management, IT business analysis, application solutioning design and testing

• Experience in modern product development/management technologies and practices such as Agile, Cloud, Design Thinking, and Product-Centric Development will be strongly preferred.

• Strong analytical, conceptualisation and problem-solving skills

• Good communication skills with the ability to pitch ideas and influence

• A driven and motivated personality with an inquisitive mind

• Ability to learn and apply

• Relevant certifications such as CITPM, COMIT, PMP, and Certified Scrum Master.
