The Assistant Procurement Manager supports the hotel’s purchasing function by sourcing products and services, evaluating suppliers, negotiating prices, monitoring contracts, and ensuring timely delivery of quality goods. The role typically requires experience in hotel procurement, purchasing, supply-chain management, or a related field, along with strong knowledge of local suppliers and market pricing. Candidates should be confident negotiators, highly organised, ethical, and comfortable using procurement or inventory systems. Attention to detail, sound financial awareness, communication skills, and the ability to work with kitchens, engineering, housekeeping, and finance teams are essential. Shangri-La will expect the successful candidate to maintain purchasing controls, support cost-saving initiatives, follow company policies, and meet operational and service standards.
Shangri-La is an internationally recognised luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, and related hospitality businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other destinations. Its properties are known for personalised service, comfortable accommodation, dining, wellness facilities, and strong attention to local culture. In Malaysia, Shangri-La operates prominent properties including Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur, Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur, and resorts in destinations such as Penang and Kota Kinabalu. The group places emphasis on service excellence, responsible business practices, employee development, and teamwork. Procurement employees support the smooth running of hotel operations by ensuring that food, beverages, guest supplies, equipment, and services are obtained competitively and in line with quality and sustainability standards.
Malaysia offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, retail, logistics, finance, technology, and shared services. Island and coastal destinations such as Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, and parts of Sabah and Sarawak provide strong hospitality employment, while Kuala Lumpur has the broadest corporate market. Malaysian culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous influences; English is widely used in business and tourism. Lifestyle costs vary, with Kuala Lumpur generally more expensive than regional towns and resort islands. Public transport is strongest in major cities, while island living may require a car or motorbike. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company must meet immigration requirements before work begins. Candidates should confirm visa eligibility, accommodation, medical coverage, taxation, and relocation support directly with Shangri-La.
