Lead Architect

Mazari Group is a design-led luxury property developer and hospitality operator based in Bali. We develop, design, build and operate boutique villa and hospitality projects, with a growing pipeline of new developments.

We are looking for a Lead Architect to help shape the architectural direction of Mazari's next generation of projects.

This is not a conventional architecture-firm role. You will work from the developer side, with meaningful influence over projects from early site analysis and concept design through construction and ultimately operation.

The Role

You will:

• Lead architectural concepts, site planning, massing and spatial design for new developments
• Shape the guest journey, including arrival experience, privacy, indoor–outdoor living and overall spatial flow
• Help define and evolve Mazari's architectural identity across multiple projects
• Work closely with interior, landscape, construction, development and operations teams
• Contribute to feasibility, unit mix, product positioning and early development decisions
• Review architectural and consultant drawings and resolve design and technical issues during construction
• Conduct site reviews to ensure design intent, material quality and detailing are delivered
• Mentor and coordinate junior architects and external consultants
• Present concepts and design recommendations directly to management

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Architecture
• 7+ years of post-graduate architectural experience
• Strong portfolio of completed projects; luxury residential, villas or hospitality experience strongly preferred
• Excellent design sensibility and spatial thinking
• Strong understanding of construction detailing, materials and buildability
• Ability to balance design ambition with practicality, operational requirements and commercial considerations
• Proficiency in AutoCAD and SketchUp; Revit/BIM experience is an advantage
• Strong leadership, coordination and presentation skills
• Fluent English; Bahasa Indonesia is an advantage
• STRA / IAI registration preferred but not essential

Why Mazari

This is an opportunity for an architect who wants to go beyond producing drawings and become involved in creating real estate projects end-to-end.

You will have meaningful design authorship, direct access to decision-makers, involvement in development strategy, and the opportunity to see your projects progress from an idea on paper to a fully operating hospitality asset.

To apply, please submit your CV and portfolio. Applications without a portfolio cannot be considered.
