Designer, MOE Digital Excellence & Products Division (Geospatial Team)

Design Intuitive Spatial Modelling & Planning Interfaces for MOE’s users (Primary)

• Design intuitive interfaces for spatial models that visualise future education demand forecasts, housing growth patterns, demographics, and accessibility insights.

• Create clear visual representations of multi-year scenarios to support decisions on new schools, mergers, campus shifts, capacity planning, and infrastructure renewal.

• Design map-based workflows that allow planners to explore, compare, and interrogate spatial data from URA, SLA, LTA, DOS, HDB, and GovTech.

• Translate complex geospatial data and modelling outputs into understandable visual formats for non-technical users.

Establish MOE-Specific Design Patterns in the Geospatial Platform (Secondary)

• Develop consistent design patterns, components, and interaction models for map-based interfaces across MOE's geospatial tools.

• Design how users interact with geospatial data layers (school locations, travel-time layers, catchments, urban constraints, environmental layers) intuitive and meaningful ways.

• Create design standards and guidelines that ensure geospatial features are accessible, consistent, and user-friendly across different products.

• Work with product and engineering teams to ensure design, feasibility and technical implementation.

Integrate Geospatial Features into MOE Products (Secondary)

• Design mapping and location-intelligence features for existing MOE planning and operating tools such as School Cockpit+.

• Improve decision-making workflows through thoughtful information architecture, visual hierarchy, and interactive map-based interfaces.

• Conduct user research with planners, policy officers, and operational teams to understand their needs, pain points, and decision-making processes.

• Test and iterate designs based on user feedback and real-world usage patterns.

What Success Looks Like

• Planners can easily understand and trust spatial-modelling outputs through clear, intuitive visualisations.

• A consistent design system for geospatial interfaces used across MOE planning tools.

• Planning teams can efficiently explore spatial data and scenarios to make informed infrastructure decisions.

• Geospatial features are seamlessly integrated into key MOE products with high user satisfaction.

• Strong working relationships with product, engineering, and planning teams that result in user-centred solutions.

Candidate Profile

• Experience designing geospatial products, mapping interfaces, data visualisation tools, or planning systems.

• Familiarity with geospatial concepts and tools (GIS platforms such as ArcGIS, web mapping libraries, spatial data visualisation, 2D/3D mapping interfaces).

• Ability to design for complex data sets including demographics, land-use, transport networks, and spatial relationships.

• Strong user research and usability testing skills, particularly with specialist or technical user groups.

• Excellent visual design skills with attention to information hierarchy, data visualisation, and interaction design.

• Strong collaboration skills with product managers, engineers, planners, and policymakers.

• Design thinking mindset with the ability to translate planning questions and user needs into functional, elegant interfaces.
