ABOUT THE JOB

At VIVLA, we are redefining

premium second-home ownership

through a model that blends real estate, hospitality, and technology.

We are building the leading network of high-end vacation homes in Southern Europe and are looking for a

Head of Architecture and Home Operations to lead Vivla Studio . This role defines one of the most critical levers of the business: our

physical product full lifecycle

management.

THE ROLE

Your mission is to transform high-value real estate into "plug-and-play" luxury assets with the precision of a manufacturing line and the soul of a design boutique.

This is not a traditional management role. It is a role of

decision-making, extreme ownership, and accountability . As a

key member of the Executive Team , you will be responsible for the "Home Operating System"—ensuring our assets scale while maintaining 5-star standards and surgical P&L; efficiency.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Product Lifecycle & P&L; Ownership

Product delivery : Direct accountability for the delivery of all assets. You must ensure every project meets the three non-negotiables: Timeline, Capex, and Quality. Full Lifecycle : Lead the journey from technical due diligence to renovation, fit-out, and ongoing facility management. Budget Precision : Own the Vivla Studio budget with absolute precision, optimizing the balance between aesthetic impact and unit economics. Asset Integrity:

Ensure the asset never depreciates in experience or value.

2. Productization & Exponential Scaling

Industrialize the bespoke :



Create the "Vivla Playbook" for design and renovation that ensures 10x consistency while slashing delivery timelines. Systems Architecture : Build the scalable systems (SLAs and tech-enabled workflows) required to sustain our current exponential growth.

3. Strategic Vendor Command

Supply Chain Leadership : Build and lead a "ruthless" high-quality supply chain across Europe’s top leisure destinations. Negotiation : Negotiate and manage external partners, ensuring they adhere to Vivla’s rigorous standards and timelines.

4. Team Leadership

People Management : Lead and mentor the Vivla Studio team (Architecture & Operations). You are responsible for team performance, resource allocation, and ensuring KPIs and growth targets are met. Culture : Foster a culture of excellence, urgency, and discipline within the department.

HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS

Project Delivery : 100% adherence to agreed timelines and Capex budgets. Product Quality : Zero-defect handovers and superior asset maintenance. Operational Rigor : Scalability and robustness of the maintenance and operations framework. Team Performance : High talent density and achievement of departamental KPIs.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Experience : 8+ years of experience in Real Estate Operations, Construction Management, or Luxury Development. Technical Hybrid :



A degree in Architecture or Engineering. You are 50% technician and 50% hard-nosed operator. Extreme Ownership : You treat Vivla as your own. You don’t just identify problems; you solve them before they hit the CEO's desk. Scale-up Tempo : You thrive in "Day 1" environments and are eager to build systems from scratch. Executive Presence : Ability to defend a €2M budget to the Board and 15 minutes later negotiate a discount with a local contractor. People Leader : Proven track record of managing technical teams and driving high-performance cultures.

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

Not a "Consultant" Role : You are an executive who gets their boots dirty and makes things happen. Not a trade-off between Design and Execution : At Vivla, concept and delivery are equally critical. We don't sacrifice beauty for speed, or vice versa. Not for the risk-averse : This is about high-speed, high-stakes growth and taking full responsibility for outcomes.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

At VIVLA, we don’t just manage homes — we build a product.

This role directly impacts our ability to scale and the fundamental quality of the Vivla experience. You aren't just joining a company;

you are joining the Executive Team

to shape the soul of a category-defining brand during its most exciting growth phase.

We are looking for someone who wants to: Take the challenge personally and exercise

extreme ownership

. Make

real decisions

,

not just recommendations. Be part of the

executive engine

that scales Vivla to the next level.
