**About The Company** ****Utopia**** is an ultra\-luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand creating a global ecosystem of properties and experiences. We develop private villa retreats in beautiful locations around the world, each with high\-end service. ****Utopia**** also offers a wider ecosystem of leisure experiences and services available both to those staying on property and to external visitors. ****Utopia**** designs and builds its properties in\-house. Our projects span the full journey: from concept and architecture to construction, interiors, landscape, guest experience, and long\-term operation. For architects and designers, this means contributing on properties from the ground up, with the ability to influence how each place is planned, built, and experienced. For hospitality professionals, it means collaborating with a brand where service is personal, attentive, and built around each guest’s stay. We’re a young, ambitious team with high standards and a hands\-on approach. We value strong ideas, practical thinking, attention to detail, and people who are ready to take ownership of their part of each project. If you’re interested in architecture, design, hospitality, or guest experience, we invite you to explore opportunities with ****Utopia.**** **About The Role** We are looking for a strategic, hands\-on **Head of Procurement** to lead our global procurement and supply chain function across a portfolio of boutique hospitality assets, eco\-resorts, and ultra\-luxury residential projects worldwide.
