What does Corporate Finance Manager do?

As a Finance Manager, you will be in charge of ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of OGP finance alongside accompanying corporate ops processes. This entails ensuring covering key finance ops workflows such as procurement, reconciliation, budgeting, payments, approvals, legal and audit. You will work with both internal stakeholders and other government stakeholders to maintain and improve delivery of financial operations for the product teams and overall organisation.

Concretely, this means that you will:
• Manage procurement (small value purchases and high value contracts), financial record-keeping and asset management processes and ensure product teams and other functions can quickly get what they require while ensuring fiscal responsibility
• Work with internal stakeholders, legal, procurement, finance and audit team to ensure processing of required legal and financial documents, records and other administrative matters are cleared and reconciled
• Work closely with the Finance Senior Manager on budgeting, resource request submissions, supporting product teams and other functions with key data and insights for decision-making
• Execute projects to continually improve finance processes and best practices with a view to uplift whole of government practices and processes

What it is like working here

Rapid Prototyping - Instead of spending too much time debating ideas we prefer testing them. This identifies potential problems quickly, and more importantly, conveys what is possible to others easily.

Ownership - In addition to technical responsibilities, this means having opinions on what is being done and having ideas on what should be done next. Building something that you believe in is the best way to build something good.

Continuous Learning - Working on new ideas often means not fully understanding what you are working on. Taking time to learn new architectures, frameworks, technologies, and even languages is not just encouraged but essential.

We look for people who:
• Have experience in Procurement, Finance, or related fields. Experience working in a tech organisation and/or government is a plus.
• Are well-organised with a keen attention to detail - You’d need to follow through plans to implement in detail, and would also need to be comfortable with handling budget and procurement data and processes
• Are innovative problem-solvers - You need to critically evaluate the ways in which the team can be run more optimally, and be able to think out-of-the-box when coming up with solutions.
• Take initiative to make things happen - Our job is to push for change in government, so we need to challenge the status quo and not wait for instruction.
• Have solid communication skills - You need to be able to write clearly and concisely, and have good emotional intelligence to know how to build trust and get people working together
• Have good emotional intelligence - You need to have a good sense of the team’s working dynamics and build trust with various stakeholders.
• Want to work for the public good - We are public servants, we serve the public. This sometimes means ignoring political pressures and misguided policies. We need people who will push back if something is not in the public interest

What does a Senior Product Designer do?

As a senior product designer, you are comfortable with the design processes and can work independently on a project. You are able to scope and prioritise design tasks for yourself and deliver them efficiently. This starts from understanding users needs and the problems they face, to creating intuitive user flows through your application, and polishing the detailed aesthetics and understanding how they make users feel.

On a day to day basis, this means:
• Talking with users to understand their problems
• Identifying appropriate research methods to use and conducting adequate research to drive insights for solving a problem
• Creating personas, user flows, sketches, and information architectures to guide design decisions
• Building mockups and prototypes to illustrate different design approaches
• Testing early designs with users and iterating on their feedback
• Capable of executing the overall aesthetics and visual styles for the product
• Creating detailed user interface specifications
• Guiding engineers in their implementation of your designs

Additionally, more senior designers will be expected to:
• Propose and drive new front-end features independently
• Optimise own design processes to become more efficient and effective
• Mentor junior designers
• Help with recruiting

Digital services are about improving the way people interact with their government. Getting the subtle details right is the difference between an intuitive experience and a frustrating one. As we launch new products, your role will be to ensure that the future of public service is not just functional, but delightful to use.

You will work on meaningful projects that solve problems pertinent to our society, from transportation, to education, to healthcare. The public sector is full of opportunities where even the simplest software can have a big impact on people’s lives. You will have direct ownership of your work with over 70% of our projects starting as ground up initiatives. Rather than work on commercial ventures commonly found in the startup scene, we're here to improve how we live as a society through what we can offer as a government.

Who we are looking for

Have a demonstrated ability to design products and experiences - Prior work and personal projects count for much more than specific degrees. Ideally, we are looking for candidates with >4 years of experience in digital product design.

Have a great visual design sense and an eye for detail - You should have a portfolio that showcases your prior work and be able to explain your design decisions.

Are passionate about user-centered design - We look for experience with user research processes and an understanding of mobile-first and responsive design.

Are proficient with design tools - You need proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite. Familiarity with HTML/CSS/JS and other web development technologies is a plus.

Communicate well with both users and engineers - You need to be comfortable taking feedback from laymen to inform your designs and then explaining those designs in sufficient detail to engineers for implementation.

Take initiative to make things happen - Our job is to push for change in government, so we need to challenge the status quo and not wait for instruction.

Want to work for the public good - We are public servants, we serve the public. This sometimes means ignoring political pressures and misguided policies. We need people who will push back if something is not in the public interest.

Overall we look for people who have ability, initiative, good communication, and an interest in public good
