About UnlockLand
UnlockLand is a Singapore-based AI technology company building decision-making software for land development, urban planning and pre-development.
Our platform combines planning policies, land data, development evidence and AI-powered workflows, helping developers, planners and public-sector organisations assess opportunities and make better decisions.
We are looking for an Urban Planner who can combine professional planning knowledge with strong client communication and product-thinking skills.

- Support enterprise and public-sector POCs from requirements gathering through final presentation.
- Translate planning workflows and customer requirements into clear product requirements.
- Work with product designers and engineers to develop and improve software features.
- Test the platform from a professional planner’s perspective.
- Collect and organise customer feedback after demonstrations and project delivery.
- Support product improvements based on real planning and development use cases.
- Manage multiple customer projects and coordinate internal and external stakeholders.
- Represent UnlockLand professionally at customer meetings and industry events.
Requirements
- Degree or professional background in urban planning, urban design, architecture, real estate development or a related built-environment discipline.
- At least 2 years of relevant professional experience.
- Hands-on experience working on urban planning, master planning, development planning or pre-development projects.
- Strong ability to develop planning concepts and evaluate development options.
- Experience preparing planning proposals, feasibility studies, reports or presentations.
- Strong client communication, presentation and stakeholder-management skills.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Ability to explain complex planning and technical information clearly.
- Ability to work effectively with product designers and software engineers.
- Strong analytical, visual communication and problem-solving skills.
- Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving startup environment.
- Strong interest in AI, planning technology, GIS and digital products.
Preferred Experience
- Experience working with property developers, planning consultancies, architecture firms, government agencies or statutory boards.
- Experience in land acquisition, site assessment, development feasibility or pre-development strategy.
- Experience leading client workshops or presenting recommendations to senior stakeholders.
- Experience with Singapore’s planning and development system.
- Familiarity with GIS, spatial data, mapping platforms or planning software.
- Experience participating in enterprise POCs or digital product implementation.
- Experience providing professional feedback to improve software products.
- Professional proficiency in Mandarin is strongly preferred.
- A portfolio showing completed planning or development projects.
