Product Management

What does a Product Manager at OGP do?

As a product manager, you ensure the right things get done. You establish a clear product vision and coordinate all aspects of a project. You build deep knowledge across user needs, technical constraints, and design goals to serve as a bridge between them.

Our product managers understand users

• Conduct user studies to identify needs and problems

• Analyse data to uncover usage patterns for product decisions

• Research existing solutions in the industry

Keep projects organised

• Run efficient meetings for updates and decision-making

• Prioritise, plan, and track tasks

• Document key information and product decisions

Communicate well

• Explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences

• Present ideas through public speaking and written materials

• Identify stakeholders and secure their support

• Coordinate efforts across marketing, legal, finance, operations, and more

And make effective product decisions

• Work with designers to create intuitive user experiences

• Develop multiple proposals for potential product directions

• Build team consensus on product vision

You'll work on meaningful projects across transportation, education, healthcare, and more. The public sector offers countless opportunities where even simple software can significantly impact people's lives. Over 70% of our projects start as ground-up initiatives, giving you direct ownership of your work. Rather than pursuing commercial ventures, we're focused on improving society through government services.

Who we are looking for

We look for people who:

• Have coding experience—you don't need to be an expert engineer, but you should understand technical considerations

• Can analyze and apply data to solve problems—specific approaches and knowing what data you need matter more than advanced statistical knowledge

• Possess good design sense—empathizing with users and recognizing good product design

• Communicate effectively—write clearly, present well, and facilitate collaboration

• Take initiative to drive change—our job is to improve government, which means challenging the status quo

• Are committed to serving the public good— as public servants, we serve the public. This sometimes means pushing back or ignoring political pressures or misguided policies

Overall, we seek candidates with ability, initiative, good communication, and strong values.
