Finance Business Partner

**Who We Are**:
**Open Government Products (OGP)** operates like a startup within the government; We are a fast-paced, dynamic team of engineers, designers, and product managers dedicated to public good. We autonomously identify opportunities to solve public problems using tech, rapidly prototype, and launch solutions—from citizen apps to automating public agency operations. Embracing an open-sourced and flat hierarchy, we cut through bureaucracy to focus on real-world, user-centric innovations that drive change.

**The Team**:
The Corporate team is in charge of creating the right environment for OGP teams to make as much impact on public good as they can, as quickly as possible. The Finance team ensures that the team is resourced and enabled to get what they need quickly and efficiently while concurrently ensuring accountability via radical cost and outcomes transparency to the public.

**About the Role**:
As a Finance Partner, you will work closely with the Finance team to track, allocate and move resources and processes to ensure product teams get what they need to achieve the best outcomes. You will help keep finance and procurement processes running day-to-day, and will also be setting and monitoring usage behaviours, partnering with stakeholders so as to identify gaps and areas for process and system improvements. You will be doing this not just for the organisation, but also for Whole-of-Government (WOG). You will be working with key stakeholders to rebuild the way government does finance, procurement and accountability.

**On a day to day basis, this means that you will**:

- Build ways of working, processes, and systems to revamp the way government does finance, procurement and accountability.
- Develop and implement methodologies to continually measure finance / procurement user behaviours and process / tool usage to identify opportunities to improve the finance & procurement experience across the organisation.
- Plan and run initiatives to improve finance & procurement tools, policies, and practices to help teams run more effectively in OGP.
- Partner with product teams and management to derive and provide key data and insights for decision-making
- Manage and continually improve end-to-end procurement and finance operations
- Directly troubleshoot user finance / procurement-related help requests and issues to solve root causes and improve employee experience.

**We’re looking for people who**:

- ** Can think strategically, and implement operationally**. You must be able to identify key things to solve in ambiguous situations, figure out how to measure success, and translate that into actual plans, policies, and processes for implementation end-to-end.
- ** Works like an entrepreneur in getting problems solved**. You must be proactive in scoping problems, doing whatever it takes to solve them, and taking different approaches to find what works best. We are looking for go-getters who seek out opportunities themselves and not wait for instruction.
- ** Wants to build better organisations for public good**. You must care about wanting to build better organisations to make an impact on public good. You will be joining a team that is pushing ourselves and the government to do better for Singapore, and must have a passion for wanting to be a part of this work.
- ** Have experience in related domains**: Experience in finance, procurement, budgeting, treasury, audit, accounting, planning, strategy, etc.
- ** Having experience in building up systems / processes / organisations** is a plus
- ** Having experience in RPA, coding, scripting or automation tools** is also a plus

We value how willing and able you are to learn whatever is needed to solve problems, more than years of experience in a given field.

**Flexibility** — We provide flexible work arrangements based on what works best for our team and its members, fostering a productive and supportive environment.
