Hey Future Figment Family Member!

Ever dreamt of turning heritage homes into works of art while working from anywhere? We're Figment—the rebels of hospitality, making the world a more human place to live, one conserved shophouse at a time.

Our boutique hotel-inspired homes are hailed as the 'Picassos of Singapore's Built Heritage' by Travel + Leisure, with coverage from NYT, WSJ, The Straits Times to Channel NewsAsia. We've hosted over 4,000 members from companies like Grab, BCG (Boston Consulting Group), and Citi over the past 3+ years.

What Makes This Role Different:

1. 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 (Public Relations) launches and media coverage.
2. 100% Remote-First: Work from home, a café, or anywhere that inspires you. We're entirely results and KPI-driven (Key Performance Indicators = measurable outcomes), not face-time driven. Note: Remote-first means self-discipline and clear communication are essential.
3. Competitive Package: S$6,000-6,500/month gross salary + AWS (Annual Wage Supplement = 13th month bonus). We believe in paying well for exceptional talent.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
