About the Product Management Practice
The Product Management Practice (PMP) is GovTech's centre of excellence for product management capabilities. We determine GovTech's overall product direction to solve national priority problems and serve as the Government's thought leader in product management practices.
As we accelerate our mission to transform government digital services, we are embarking on an ambitious initiative to convert officers into skilled Product Managers and Product Operations professionals over the next two years. This large-scale capability transformation will fundamentally shift how government builds and delivers digital products putting citizen needs first, making data-driven decisions, and delivering impactful solutions at scale.
What You Will Be Working On
This position sits within the Product Management Practice and reports to the Product Operations leadership team. The candidate should be passionate about enabling product excellence through operational systems and building product management capabilities across GovTech.
Within the Product Management Practice: You will support the design, coordination, and delivery of the Product Operations conversion pathway training bootcamp. This includes establishing operational frameworks for the bootcamp, managing participant journeys from recruitment through graduation, coordinating with training providers and internal stakeholders, tracking learner progress and outcomes, and continuously improving the program based on feedback and data.
Across GovTech: You will support the broader conversion exercise by designing scalable systems that enable capability development across the organization. This includes building data infrastructure to track conversion progress, establishing feedback loops between learners and program designers, coordinating cross-functional initiatives that support the conversion journey, and identifying operational barriers that hinder capability uplift.
Given the scale and complexity of this transformation, the candidate will need to navigate ambiguity, manage multiple stakeholders, and demonstrate bias toward action to solve problems and clear obstacles.
