Role Overview

The Pre-Opening -Setup and Purchase Manager will oversee the complete setup of new serviced apartment projects — from construction coordination and design validation to procurement, interiors, and operational readiness.
This role bridges the gap between developers, design teams, and RELOhomes’ operational standards to ensure every project is delivered on time, within budget, and up to brand expectations.

• Manage pre-opening checklists, including utilities setup, kitchen equipment, housekeeping inventory, and guest-room readiness.
• Negotiate and finalize vendor contracts, pricing, and quality specifications.
• Ensure all materials, furniture, and finishes meet brand quality, safety, and sustainability benchmarks.
• Supervise on-site setup and handover of apartments and common areas (lobbies, restaurants, laundry, gym, etc.).
• Liaise with internal departments (Operations, Housekeeping, Food & Beverage, and IT) for seamless pre-opening coordination.
• Maintain detailed documentation, budgets, and progress reports for management review.
• Conduct post-opening audits to ensure setup standards are consistently maintained.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, Interior Design, Procurement, or Engineering (preferred).
• 5–10 years of experience in hotel pre-opening, serviced-apartment setup, or hospitality project management.
• Strong vendor negotiation and sourcing experience (preferably in FF&E / OS&E).

• Ability to travel and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
