About Royal Plaza on Scotts

Royal Plaza on Scotts is a 511-room independent premium lifestyle hotel in the heart of Orchard Road, Singapore. With over 50 years of history and a clear vision for the next decade, we are investing in product, technology and guest experience to build a premium lifestyle destination that competes on quality and direct guest relationships rather than on channel dependency.

We are a fully independent property - no parent company, no brand constraints - which means every commercial decision we make is ours. That independence is our competitive advantage and the reason this role exists with the scope it does.

The Role

The VP Commercial is the senior commercial voice in the hotel, responsible for the total revenue strategy and the teams that execute it. You will directly manage the Director of Sales and Director of Marketing, and you will own the hotel's distribution architecture, channel mix, and revenue growth strategy across all markets and segments.

This is a genuinely broad commercial role - not a traditional hotel DOS or Revenue Manager position. You are accountable for how the hotel acquires revenue across every channel, what it costs to acquire it, and how the mix shifts over time toward higher-quality, lower-cost channels. Sales executes the relationships. Marketing executes the brand and digital strategy. You set the commercial framework both teams operate within and you are accountable for the outcome.

Distribution fluency is central to this role. You need to understand how hotel inventory moves from channel manager to GDS to OTA to direct, and you need to be able to manage commercial relationships and negotiate terms at every layer of that stack. This is what separates the right candidate from a strong but traditional hotel commercial leader.

Strategic Responsibilities Commercial strategy and P&L

• Own total revenue budget and channel mix across rooms, F&B and ancillary revenue
• Set pricing strategy working closely with the Revenue Management function
• Lead weekly commercial meetings - pace review, strategy, yield decisions
• Present commercial performance to Board and Asset Management

Distribution and channel management

• Own the hotel's full distribution architecture - channel manager, GDS, OTA relationships, metasearch and direct booking engine performance
• Negotiate commercial agreements with key OTA partners
• Drive progressive shift of booking mix toward direct and negotiated channels, reducing cost of acquisition over time
• Hold full channel P&L accountability - not just revenue but net contribution by channel

Corporate account and GDS strategy

• Own corporate RFP strategy - direct submissions for annual TMC cycles via Cvent and Lanyon
• Manage TMC relationships across Singapore, Australia, UK, Middle East and Europe
• Direct account management for the hotel's top producing corporate accounts
• Oversee GDS distribution strategy - rate structure, corporate rate performance, chain code optimisation

Sales and marketing leadership

• Directly manage Director of Sales - set account targets, guide corporate acquisition strategy, develop team capability
• Directly manage Director of Marketing - align brand, digital and paid media investment to commercial outcomes
• Connect marketing spend to channel performance - every marketing dollar should have a measurable revenue outcome
• Own the promotional calendar and rate strategy across all segments

New market development

• Build and execute strategy to grow BLeisure segment from Australia, UK, US and Europe
• Develop Muslim traveller segment beyond existing base - GCC, Malaysia, Indonesia and new source markets
• Lead India and China market development in partnership with OTA account managers and the DOS team
• Identify and activate loyalty and airline partnership opportunities to support direct booking growth

What We Are Looking For

• Minimum 8 years in hotel commercial, distribution or revenue management, with genuine depth across multiple channel types
• Singapore market knowledge is non-negotiable - must understand the Orchard Road competitive set, local corporate travel landscape, and Singapore-based TMC relationships
• Hands-on distribution experience - GDS mechanics, OTA commercial negotiations, metasearch management, direct booking strategy
• Experience managing or closely working with a Director of Sales and/or Director of Marketing
• Commercially articulate - able to present revenue strategy clearly to Board and asset management audiences
• Fluent in hotel technology - channel manager, PMS, revenue management system, IBE
• Track record of growing direct channel revenue and reducing OTA cost of acquisition

Strongly preferred

• Experience at an independent or soft-branded hotel - able to build and optimise commercial infrastructure without parent company support
• Experience managing corporate RFP cycles directly via Cvent and Lanyon
• Strong network across APAC source markets - Australia, UK, Middle East, Indonesia, India
• Exposure to full distribution stack management - from rate loading through to channel performance reporting

JOB INTRODUCTION

About our client Brief , Heritage Japanese Bespoke Interiors The Legacy & Continuity Founded in the Meiji era, the company is a venerable 150-year-old institution originating from the historic port of Kobe, Japan.

Its origins are uniquely tied to the golden age of maritime craftsmanship; the founding artisans were highly skilled shipbuilders who transitioned their mastery of wooden vessel construction into the creation of high-precision, Western-style bespoke furniture.

Today, the firm remains a family-held treasure, led by a 4th-generation owner dedicated to preserving the "Takumi" spirit while evolving for a global audience.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The Artistry The company represents a pinnacle of cultural fusion, blending classical European silhouettes with the most guarded traditions of Japanese artistry.

Each piece is treated as a unique commission, featuring:

Chisel-Carved "Turnery": Hand-sculpted frames adjusted by eye to create curves machines cannot replicate.

Urushi Mastery: Multi-layered lacquer finishes—using techniques employed in the restoration of Japan’s most sacred National Treasures, such as Kinkaku-ji (The Golden Pavilion).

Investment-Grade Craft: The result is a "transparent amber" finish that evolves and grows more lustrous over decades, creating functional heritage artifacts for the home.

The Mission: An Elite Interim Project We are seeking a top-tier marketing visionary for a high-impact interim project to architect the brand’s entry into the Singapore market. This is a rare opportunity to work in a direct, one-on-one partnership with the 4th-generation owner to bridge 150 years of Japanese heritage with the modern luxury landscape of Southeast Asia.

Market Entry Blueprint: Creating the "Bespoke Playbook" that will dictate how the brand interacts with Singapore's elite interior design and retail ecosystem.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

The Ideal You..

This project is designed for a seasoned luxury marketing leader or fractional CMO who has "done it before"—someone with a proven track record of launching very high-premium brands (home products, furniture, or white goods) and who possesses the cultural dexterity to translate Japanese heritage into a local status symbol.

Who You Are

Luxury Pedigree: You have a proven track record in the Very High-Premium sector (Bespoke Interiors, Haute Horlogerie, or Ultra-Luxury White Goods).

The Bridge: You possess the cultural dexterity to translate meticulous Japanese craftsmanship into a status-rich narrative for the Southeast Asian market.

CEO-Level Strategist: You are comfortable working directly with founders to craft market-entry blueprints that prioritize quality and heritage over mass-market volume.

Available for Impact: You are a seasoned leader or fractional CMO ready to lead a high-intensity interim project that will leave a permanent mark on the luxury landscape.
