The company is looking to expand its product team with about 80 engineers and designers as well as individuals for their marketing, public relations and global operational teams. These positions will mostly be based in Singapore with the exception of some roles which will require individuals to spend a significant time in China where Secretlab has its factory.
“We are hiring across the board for almost every position. I would say that every team right now is extremely stretched. We’ve seen massive growth in the past few years,” co-founder and chief strategy officer Alaric Choo told reporters during a media visit to the company's new global headquarters and research and development lab in Braddell.
He added that the company is planning to invest $50 million into research and development over the next few years in order to boost its product development and innovation capabilities.
Choo and chief executive officer Ian Ang founded the company in 2014, and it has since grown to become one of the top gaming chair makers in the world with its ergonomic chairs being sold in over 60 countries. The pair leveraged global partners such as video game developers Blizzard Entertainment and Riot Games from the United States in order to establish a global presence.
When working from home became the norm due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Secretlab saw their consumer base shift from gamers to working individuals looking for proper chairs to adapt to their new home offices. This largely has been the reason for their increasing popularity.
The company moved into a new office space this year that spans 44,000 square feet across a single floor in a building along Braddell road.
