Join Us As a Centre Manager - Hawker Centre Operations
Celebrating Heritage. Championing Hawkers. Shaping the Future.

As we expand our footprint across Singapore, we're calling on passionate individuals to join us on our mission: to preserve and promote Singapore's beloved hawker culture, while making healthy eating more accessible to all.

We are looking for a dedicated and people-centric Centre Manager to lead the daily operations of one of Singapore's iconic Hawker Centres. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, community-driven environment and is excited about supporting local hawkers, this might just be your next big move.

What You'll Do:

As Centre Manager, you'll be the driving force behind a vibrant, well-run hawker centre. You'll work closely with stallholders, lead a small team, and ensure a seamless experience for diners and hawkers alike.

Key Responsibilities:

• Team Leadership
  Recruit, train, and guide your on-site team to maintain operational excellence. Conduct performance reviews and nurture professional growth.
• Hawker & Tenancy Management
  Be the go-to liaison for hawkers-from onboarding and daily engagement to managing tenancies and supporting their needs.
  Facilitate stall turnover and smooth onboarding/offboarding
  Monitor stall operations and foster strong stallholder relationships
  Address tenancy issues such as arrears and coordinate resolution strategies
  Design and implement policies to support new programmes (e.g., Bridging Programmes, One-Stop Services)
• Hawker Centre Operations
  Ensure the hawker centre remains clean, welcoming, and efficiently run with support from contractors and cleaning crews.
  While facilities upkeep is important, your focus will be on supporting the people who make hawker centres special-the hawkers.
• Feedback & Community Engagement
  Handle feedback from stallholders and patrons with professionalism and care.
  Regularly engage hawkers, associations, and key stakeholders to strengthen relationships and resolve operational issues collaboratively.
• Event Coordination
  Take the lead on organizing activities such as fire drills, spring cleaning, and community events that bring life to the hawker centre.
• Ad-hoc Duties
  Flexibility is key-contribute wherever needed to keep operations running smoothly.

What We're Looking For:

• Prior experience in F&B, hawker, or centre management is highly preferred
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to engage diverse stakeholders
• A hands-on, proactive attitude with the ability to resolve challenges on the ground
• Leadership experience managing small teams
• Proficiency in Mandarin is a plus, to communicate with Mandarin-speaking hawkers
• Passion for preserving Singapore's hawker heritage and improving the hawker experience

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a meaningful mission to support local hawkers and preserve cultural heritage
• Work in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same
• Opportunity for career progression in a growing company
• Contribute to initiatives that impact community and food culture

If you're someone who cares about people, food, and Singapore's hawker legacy, we'd love to meet you.
