Creative & Brand Assistant
Who We Are
The Ordinary Co (@theordinaryco) is a Singapore-based accessories label known for our reversible woven shawls, sold online and through selected stockists.
We are a small, growing independent brand, so you will see how a consumer brand is built end to end: creating content, developing products, working with stockists and packing the orders that land in our customers’ hands. You will work closely with our founder, Monica, on both the creative and the day-to-day side of the business.
