We are seeking a strategic and solutions-oriented Assistant Director or Director, Retail Delivery to oversee the end-to-end fit-out and delivery of retail tenancies beginning with retail planning, lease execution through to store opening. You will serve as the senior point of accountability for planning, coordination, feasibility review, and timely handover of tenant spaces within a mixed-use or premium retail development.

This leadership role is ideal for professionals with experience delivering high-density retail precincts, including luxury tenants, flagship concepts, and mixed-use commercial environments. The role also includes overseeing day-to-day retail delivery operations and contributing to the long-term planning for the upcoming Waterfront retail precinct.

Key Responsibilities:

• Tenant Coordination: Interface with tenants to understand and confirm MEP, layout, and operational requirements. Translate these into deliverable scopes in alignment with mall standards.
• Feasibility & Compliance: Assess proposed layout and services changes for technical viability, structural limitations, and authority requirements (e.g., BCA, SCDF).
• Design & Submission Management: Work with architects and consultants to review designs, prepare submission packages, and facilitate timely approvals.
• Project Planning: Prepare fit-out timelines, cost estimates, and risk assessments to align with leasing milestones and opening targets.
• Execution Oversight: Lead coordination with contractors and vendors to deliver high-quality tenant spaces on time and within budget. Monitor fit-out progress and ensure safety, quality, and mall requirements are met.
• Handover & Authority Clearances: Facilitate inspections and secure Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP), CSC, or relevant authority sign-offs ahead of handover.
• Stakeholder Management: Liaise closely with internal departments (Projects, Building Enhancement Team (BET), FME, Estates, etc) and external stakeholders (tenants, consultants, regulators) to maintain alignment and resolve issues proactively.
• Day-to-Day Operations: Oversee operational aspects of existing portfolio of tenants to ensure seamless coordination within live mall environments.
• Retail Master Planning: Contribute to the strategic planning and feasibility assessment for future retail phases, particularly the Waterfront development. Collaborate with Projects and leasing teams to shape MEP provisioning, retail mix strategies, layout optimization, and delivery frameworks for long-term asset positioning. Develop recommendations for risk mitigation and opportunity implementation strategies.

Requirements:

• Minimum 12 years of retail fit-out, tenant coordination, or project delivery experience, including at least 3 years in leadership capacity.
• Strong track record managing luxury and flagship brand delivery.
• Deep understanding of Singapore's regulatory landscape (BCA, SCDF, URA).
• Demonstrated expertise in MEP systems, retail tenancy guidelines, and cold shell-to-trade delivery processes.
• Experience in live mall environments managing day-to-day delivery logistics and stakeholder expectations.
• Strong analytical skills with experience in long-term planning and concept-to-execution cycles for large-scale retail developments.
• Excellent leadership, stakeholder management, and conflict resolution skills.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams and balance strategic priorities with day-to-day execution.

Bonus Experience (Preferred):

• Exposure to high-profile projects or equivalent large-scale retail assets.
• Experience managing delivery tracking systems or digital fit-out approval workflows.
