Job description

A key responsibility of this role is to develop architects and architectural practices as long-term partners by introducing our Affordable Luxury whole-home customisation solutions.

We bridge the gap between conventional local carpentry and high-end European furniture by combining globally sourced premium materials and hardware, including brands such as CLEAF, Blum and BASISTEM, with Singapore-based design and high-quality manufacturing in China. Our solutions are tailored specifically to Singapore homes and lifestyles, delivering refined design, quality and functionality at a commercially sensible price point.

The successful candidate must be able to communicate this value proposition confidently to architects, with a strong understanding of interior design, materials, customisation and project requirements.

Job Scope

• Identify and develop relationships with architects and architectural practices in Singapore.
• Build a structured pipeline of target architectural firms and key architect relationships.

• Develop architect accounts from initial contact into active, revenue-generating partnerships.
• Maintain regular engagement and systematically follow up on project opportunities.
• Grow the architect channel into a sustainable and scalable source of revenue.
• Own and achieve agreed monthly, quarterly, and annual sales targets.
• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline from both architect-generated opportunities and direct customer leads.
• Take responsibility for opportunities from initial engagement through proposal, negotiation, contract signing, and payment.
• Monitor pipeline value, conversion rates, average project value, and sales performance.
• Follow up proactively and consistently to move opportunities toward closing.
• Negotiate commercial terms within agreed parameters.

• Conduct customer consultations independently.
• Understand customer requirements and review their floor plans.
• Introduce relevant materials, finishes, products, cabinetry, and whole-home solutions.
• Develop an initial solution and design direction with the customer.
• Prepare or coordinate proposals and quotations.
• Follow up after the showroom consultation.
• Convert qualified enquiries into signed projects.

• Coordinate with designers, project teams, suppliers, and other stakeholders throughout the project.
• Follow key design development, production, installation, and delivery milestones.

• Support the resolution of customer, design, and commercial issues when required.
