As the Product Policy Lead for the Healthtech Cluster, you will drive policy outcomes across the cluster’s health products and establish the product policy capability for the cluster. You will work directly with product teams, MOH and the public healthcare family to identify blockers, develop pragmatic policy strategies, and align digital products with regulatory, clinical, operational and public interest needs. You will start as an individual contributor leading the policy agenda for the cluster, and over time build and lead a team of product policy officers.
[What you will be working on]
Leading the cluster policy agenda
Identify and prioritise system-level opportunities for policy intervention across the cluster’s product portfolio, and sequence the work that matters most
Coordinate policy positions across multiple product teams so that roadmaps collectively address national health priorities and the cluster’s mandate
Scan the digital health, clinical and regulatory landscape and translate developments into strategic insight for cluster leadership and agency partners
Policy–product integration
Translate policy intent and constraints — including medical regulation, clinical governance and health data requirements — into actionable guidance for product teams
Help MOH and healthcare institutions understand how product design choices intersect with health policy goals, and what digital transformation makes possible
Advise on trade-offs between user experience, compliance, clinical and operational risk, and health system outcomes
Strategic problem solving
Identify systemic barriers to effective digital delivery in healthcare (e.g. outdated policies, fragmented approvals, unclear decision rights between policy, ops and tech)
Co-develop solutions with internal and external stakeholders that balance compliance with innovation while prioritising patients
Use systems thinking and data — including product and user behaviour insights — to assess the long-term implications of policy–product decisions
Stakeholder engagement
Establish trusted partnerships with senior leaders across MOH, the healthcare clusters and related agencies to secure access, alignment and delivery conditions for product teams
Work closely with product managers, designers, engineers, legal and policy teams
Communicate clearly and persuasively across technical, clinical and policy audiences
Building the team
Establish how product policy operates within the cluster — engagement model, standards and ways of working with product teams and agencies
Recruit, mentor and manage product policy officers over time, setting clear expectations and creating growth pathways
Contribute to the Whole-of-Government Product Policy practice — hiring, standards and calibration — as part of its leadership group
Writing & communication
Craft memos, policy notes and briefs that frame product issues in clear, policy-aligned terms for senior decision-makers
Present recommendations to cluster leadership, agency partners and external stakeholders with clarity and persuasion
