How We Think About Product Operations
Before describing the role, it is worth being clear about our beliefs — because they shape what we hire for, how we measure success, and what kind of leader we are looking for.
Product Operations exists to make it easier for product teams to deliver citizen-centric outcomes at scale, with precision and reliability. Where Product Managers focus on "what" and "why", Product Operations focuses on "how well" and "how efficiently" we deliver.
Role Overview
As an Assistant Director / Deputy Director of Product Operations in DXD (Digital Excellence & Products Division), you are accountable for designing, implementing, and driving adoption of product operations capabilities within a core digital vertical portfolio.
You are a senior leader who defines the vision and strategy for product operations across a cluster of agencies. You focus on operational excellence at scale — building frameworks that align with organisational strategy and enable efficient, consistent, and impactful product delivery. You partner with executive stakeholders, drive cross-functional alignment, mentor senior talent, and champion a culture of continuous improvement.
In the GovTech context, this means shifting the organisation from ad-hoc coordination structures to sustained operating cadences — portfolio reviews, cross-agency alignment forums, and scaled feedback systems that continuously inform product strategy across policy cycles and legacy environments.
Target Portfolio Scope
You will be accountable for end-to-end product operations across a core digital vertical portfolio or cluster of agencies, which may include:
Parents-facing applications and services
Teacher professional learning and development platforms
Student Learning Space (SLS) and related ecosystem products
National placement and registration services (e.g. OnePlacement)
Platform & Infrastructure (e.g. Data, AI and Identity Management)
HQ functions (e.g. HR and Corporate Finance)
Within this scope, you will partner closely with business owners (e.g. schools, HQ divisions, Academy of Singapore Teachers) and align with central DXD standards and practices.
