Start Date: Immediate
Job Type: Full-Time, Hybrid
Reports To: GM / CEO
What Makes This Role Different
Architecture Meets Art: Lead creative control over multiple shophouse transformations annually, building a portfolio that becomes your signature body of work. Collaborate with renowned artists and creatives, with your projects featured in PR launches and media coverage.
100% Remote-First: Work from home, a café, or anywhere that inspires you. We’re entirely results and KPI-driven, not face-time driven. Remote-first means self-discipline and clear communication are essential.
Competitive Package: S$6,000-$7,250/month gross salary + AWS (Annual Wage Supplement = 13th month bonus). We believe in paying well for exceptional talent.
Stability with Purpose: We’re a profitable, bootstrapped company backed by real shophouse assets—not chasing venture capital's "growth at all costs" mentality. Your job security comes from real revenue, not runway.
Accelerated Growth: Fast-track career path to Head of Development. Staff take on significant responsibilities from day one in our hands‑on scrappy startup environment. As we aggressively expand our team, you’ll grow alongside us with clear progression paths.
Global Conservation Mission: As stewards of Singapore's architectural heritage, we’re pioneering the boutique homes concept globally—from London townhouses to Spanish Colonial homes in Intramuros, Manila, to colonial bungalows across India.
