Lead Product Manager, Geospatial Team

Lead Product Manager, Geospatial Team (Ministry of Education) Role Summary We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to build Ministry of Education (MOE)'s geospatial and spatial modelling capabilities to strengthen long-term infrastructure and space planning. The role focuses on developing models, tools, and a geospatial foundation that helps MOE anticipate future demand, optimise school locations, and make evidence-based planning decisions. Key Responsibilities Build MOE’s Spatial Modelling Engine (Primary) Develop spatial models that forecast future education demand based on housing growth, demographics, migration patterns, land‑use plans, and accessibility. Create multi‑year scenarios to support decisions on new schools, mergers, campus shifts, capacity planning, and infrastructure renewal. Integrate datasets and insights from other government agencies such as URA, SLA, LTA, DOS, HDB, and GovTech into MOE’s planning logic. Translate planning and policy needs into clear modelling requirements. Establish MOE’s Geospatial Data & Platform Foundation (Secondary) Build and maintain the authoritative geospatial data layers for MOE (school locations, travel‑time layers, catchments, urban constraints, environmental layers). Develop internal APIs, standards, and governance rules to ensure accurate, consistent, and accessible geospatial data. Work with engineering and data teams to set up the geospatial platform that powers analytic tools and downstream products. Integrate Geospatial Capabilities into MOE Products (Secondary) Embed mapping and location‑intelligence features into existing MOE planning and operating tools such as School Cockpit+. Improve decision‑making workflows using map‑based interfaces and visual analytics. Work with planners, policy officers, and product teams to ensure geospatial tools meet real operational needs. What Success Looks Like A working spatial‑modelling engine that planners trust for long‑term demand forecasting. A central geospatial platform used across MOE for planning and operational decisions. Planning teams have clear, data‑backed insights to guide school infrastructure decisions. Geospatial features are embedded meaningfully into key MOE products. Strong cross‑agency partnerships that improve data quality and modelling accuracy. Candidate Profile Experience developing geospatial products, planning tools, or modelling systems. Familiarity with spatial data (GIS platforms such as ArcGIS, routing engines, geospatial APIs, 3D/2D mapping). Able to work with complex demographics, land‑use, and transport data. Strong collaboration skills with planners, policymakers, engineers, and analysts. Product mindset with the ability to translate planning questions into functional tools and datasets.
