What they look for

Most Postings ask for experience in e-commerce, retail, or consumer goods. Experience with furniture, home, or lifestyle brands is often an advantage. About half of the Postings ask for ownership: to take a piece of work from start to result without waiting for direction.

Office roles in Singapore ask for a set number of years, from 1 to 3 for a junior marketing specialist to 6 or more for lead design roles. Many ask for skill with stakeholders in several markets. Design and creative roles ask for a portfolio and Adobe tools.

Operations and logistics roles ask for Excel and fluent English. Roles in Johor Bahru that support the US market work night shifts. Three of the logistics roles are 12-month or 1-year contracts.

Six Postings ask people to use AI tools in their work. The Product Manager Posting says hands-on AI experimentation is expected, not optional.

Two category planning roles need basic Chinese, because they work with teams in China. Showroom sales roles ask for weekend work. A Melbourne Posting says personality and sales instinct matter more than furniture experience.
