General Manager

WHO WE ARE

Incorporated in 1982, we are a space and business innovator with a focus on the future of people. We were awarded Best Boutique Developer in Asia for 2020 and in Singapore for 4 years in a row (2019-2022) at the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards. Being an integrated property developer allows us to learn from and leverage the technical expertise and resources of our parent company Woh Hup Group, while still retaining the dynamism of a small company.

At Aurum Land, you'll get end-to-end exposure across the full project lifecycle and make a tangible impact by working hands-on across departments on tasks big and small. With direct access to leadership (never more than two conversations from the Group CEO), we stay highly agile moving fast to capture market opportunities and manage risks whilst also minimising internal friction and politics.

• You are a natural leader who inspires and motivates your team and quickly earns the trust and respect of leadership by fostering a culture of excellence, ownership and open communication. You are skilled at building and nurturing high-performing teams who consistently deliver on timelines and commitments, and produce high quality work that wows and delights our teammates and customers.
• You communicate proactively and clearly, distilling the necessary and sufficient information into compelling recommendations with strong supporting reasons to get quick buy-in from a wide range of stakeholders, including board members, consultants, contractors, architects, and government agencies.
