Asset Class coverage: Hotels, Resorts, Entertainment and Gaming, Branded Residential, Urban Mixed-Use
WATG is one of the world’s leading hospitality design and advisory practices, operating across a truly global portfolio of hotels, resorts and mixed-use destinations. From offices spanning London, Singapore, the US and the Middle East, the firm works with a diverse client base including major private equity houses, sovereign-backed developers and international operators. This role sits within the Advisory team in Singapore, working across an eclectic mix of assignments – from luxury resort developments in Asia-Pacific to large-scale mixed-use destinations in the Middle East and beyond. Working closely with WATG’s design studios, the team’s remit extends well beyond traditional feasibility studies and valuations. At its core, the role is about turning data into a creative, commercially compelling vision for hospitality assets.
The role
You will be responsible for analysing, structuring and communicating strategies that enhance the performance and long-term value of hotel, branded-residential and leisure assets. Crucially, the position is not purely analytical. Your work will inform both design direction and investment strategy, giving you a meaningful role in shaping how projects evolve rather than simply evaluating them.
This includes:
• Building detailed financial models and development appraisals for hotels and mixed-use schemes
• Interrogating market data, demand drivers and competitive positioning across global locations
• Assessing operational and spatial performance – from revenue per square metre to guest flow, dwell time and amenity mix
• Benchmarking against relevant comp sets and identifying opportunities to reposition or enhance assets
• Translating analysis into clear, design-led recommendations alongside architects and planners
You will also be client-facing, presenting findings and guiding stakeholders through the rationale behind each recommendation.
At the Senior Consultant level, you will have the opportunity to take ownership of projects and help manage and mentor junior team members.
Profile
Candidates are likely to come from backgrounds, including development or asset management analysis, hotel valuations, or existing hotel advisory roles. An established hotel specialism and educational background are also greatly beneficial.
You will bring:
• Established experience within hospitality, real estate or related advisory
• Strong financial modelling and analytical capability
• An ability to think beyond the numbers – linking data to design, architecture, experience and commercial outcomes
• Confidence communicating complex ideas in a clear, client-facing way
• A genuine interest in hospitality, placemaking and how destinations perform
Exposure to international markets and an understanding of how different geographies operate is advantageous.
Why join
This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of design, strategy and analytics within a globally recognised platform. You will work on high-profile, design-led projects across multiple continents, contributing to decisions that shape how hospitality assets are conceived and delivered.
The Singapore team is lean, offering strong visibility and responsibility from day one, with the chance to take on leadership as you progress.
