About the Role This is a regional leadership role responsible for defining and delivering the brand's spatial design vision across APAC.

Partner with Real Estate and Store Development teams to evaluate site potential, customer flow, frontage, and operational feasibility. Develop concept decks, mood boards, test fits, customer journey maps, material palettes, and visualisation briefs. Ensure designs support operational needs—ordering and collection flows, seating, accessibility, back-of-house planning, food safety, and team-member experience. Collaborate with Operations and Product teams to integrate beverage equipment, service counters, queue management, and cleaning areas into the design. Lead the creation of flagship and concept stores that express the brand's craftsmanship, innovation, and local relevance. Support spatial design for pop-ups, roadshows, and brand activations as required.

Lead external architecture, interior design, MEP, lighting, signage, and project-management partners. Commercial & Project Management Manage multiple concurrent projects across APAC, including consultant briefs, timelines, approvals, and deliverables. Partner with Procurement and Project Management to source durable, cost-effective, and locally available materials and finishes.
