INTERIORS / ARCHITECTURE (JULY 2019)

Do you love office cubicles, or do you think most office spaces suck? They suck? Great, we agree. So what are you gonna do about it?

I’m Mike, and I’m an Architect with responsibility for our entire Backstage in Manila and Cebu. I’d love you to join our team as a small space guru, fascinated by nested storage solutions and hidden nooks, multi-purpose furniture, and emotion-inducing styling. I'm also looking for bigger project visionaries, and creative minds with interiors connections across the country.

You’ll know Sketch-Up and how to sketch. Maybe you’ll be crafty with found objects or able to upcycle for utility or a design flourish. We like people with special powers, geeky passions, and creative connections.

Do you prefer boutique over corporate, local to imported? Are you excited to source interesting items from cool suppliers, and collab with others for one-off pieces and problem-solving do-it-yourself solutions? If you just want to go buy stuff on Alibaba, we aren’t the place for you.

Are you strong enough to get excellence from specialist contracts, and demanding enough to make even the smallest detail work as you designed it? Are you also humble enough to be challenged, take direction, and learn from everyone and every situation?

Are you ready to be challenged, to build and juggle your own design project portfolio? Are you the kind of person who is awesome even when no-one else is looking?

As the first face people see each day at ASPACE, your passion for people and getting to know them will help you shine. I’m Belinda and I’m making sure we have amazing new faces like you, and I always aim for A+ service so it pays to be service-oriented and hospitable to your core. If you love meeting new people, can start conversations, and want to make sure they’re comfortable, we already love you.

You will be the face of each ASPACE Stage. You will be responsible for an awesome first, second and forever impression of our guests and community. You’ll make sure that they’re treated like rockstars and that all of their inquiries, requests and concerns are addressed. You will be responsible for making solutions, connecting people, managing the space and making sure that everyone is happy plus some other cool projects.

If (when!) you get this gig, you will be based in Manila. This is a full-time opportunity but with some flexibility in hours. We don’t all love a 9 to 5 right?

You’ll apply, we’ll get in touch. Then we meet, chit-chat, swap stories and judge each other. We’ll imagine our shared futures. You’ll learn about our cool Fam, our brand, and you’ll design your own role (salary, perks, working hours, job title etc).

What? You thought we had your perfect job already written up and ready to gift?? But we’ve never even met. How do I know what perfect is to you. So together we’ll design it. Cool?

Manila + Cebu
Why you might love working with the ASPACE fam.
FREEDOM SCORE

Responsibility + Growth = Freedom. We strive for a bullshit-free environment. If that word offends you then you'll probably want to work elsewhere. In our culture we value straight-talking, and personal accountability, regardless of hierarchy. You think the boss made a crap joke - don't laugh. You think she came up with an idea you can top? Throw it out there.

The more you take responsibility for your role within the team, the more you demonstrate Excellence at that role, the more you'll earn the Freedom to provide leadership and direction. Be awesome, lead awesome. 

YOU ARE GOOD, GET BETTER

We love ambitious, motivated, purpose-driven individuals. People with their own attitude and the ability to follow through on it; people with a clear sense of teamwork and fairplay, a desire to rescue - in your own way - the planet and all of our fellow humans.

These people, like you, are our Punk Dolphins, a smart community of doers and shapers, with self-awareness, individuality, enough maturity to be accountable for their actions, and enough attitude to take creative risks. The more you learn, the more what you learn creates value, the more you'll earn. 

How we calculate your remuneration.
PLAY THE GAME, LEVEL UP FOR GOLD

Assume you love us and we love you, then the question is how much effort will it take for you to hit "ASPACE excellence". Not the potential to be awesome, but the actual awesomeness that comes from holding down your responsibility and creating value for those around. The more we have to coach Excellence, the more support you need, the more junior your starting level with us (but just think of all those brain cells just being pumped with know-how!). You remuneration and privileges are linked to your current level and growth. Makes sense, right?

PAST IS PAST

You may be awesome with an impressive resume, 12 degrees and 5 MBAs from the top global schools. Even though we respect that achievement, what you are committing to master with us is way more important. Expecting your past experience and education to automatically earn you a premium? Think again – you'll need our coaching time and energy. You'll be expected to demonstrate your value to us; rewards are for future performance, not your past achievements (exception to this is when past achievements are highly relevant - see "Be a Guru"). 

KNOW YOUR MARKET RATE

There's no magic salary calculator that all bosses use to determine what to pay. We look at what Google is saying, we consider what we pay others in similar positions, and we'll of course look at how much we can actually afford. Your market rate is something you can research, and while it's an important number, you'll need to consider your "discount" or your "premium" against that rate. You'll also need to understand that ASPACE isn't all other companies, we are special, just like you.

IT AIN'T ALL ABOUT THE CASH

More important than money is what you do with it. Say we give you a bazillion pesos but take away your free time and health? Bad deal. So let's look at the working hours that make you happy and healthy, consider your gadgets, HMO, the workplace culture, and the opportunities to learn, to coach, and to create value. We want you to #GOHOMEHAPPY, and that requires an individual conversation and a custom designed package for you, at your current stage of life. One size does not fit all. 

BE A GURU OR BE RARE for a premium

If you are applying for a position that you have proven, demonstrable experience in; maybe you are a guru, dude — then you can expect a premium over the market rate for a similar position. Why? Because you've earned it elsewhere, there is far less risk involved in bringing you in, and you'll require a lot less coaching to hit our levels of excellence. 

Similarly, you earn a premium by being a rare talent in a competitive market. If you are a niche language developer you'll be rare; if you are an interior designer with a year of work experience, join the long line.

We are the best

We can't put a price on you as a human being, so we don't try. Our way of evaluating what you are worth only goes so far as to figure out your value to our projects, people, and plans.

Your value to the planet + universe is immeasurable.

We also aren't the in investment banking industry, a massive corporation with petro-chemical, tobacco, arms dealing interests. So if you are only interested in the highest salary regardless of values and culture, you'll find a better fit elsewhere.
