The Service Manager – Procurement (Food Buyer) is responsible for sourcing food products, negotiating with suppliers, monitoring pricing and quality, and ensuring reliable deliveries for Shangri-La operations in the Philippines. Candidates are generally expected to have a degree in procurement, supply chain, hospitality, business, or a related field, together with several years of purchasing or hotel procurement experience.

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. The group is known for personalized service, comfortable surroundings, strong culinary offerings, and its Asian-inspired approach to hospitality. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates well-established properties in locations including Manila, Cebu, and Boracay. Its hotels employ professionals across food and beverage, rooms, engineering, finance, sales, procurement, and guest services. The company typically emphasizes service excellence, teamwork, integrity, cultural awareness, and professional development. A procurement manager supporting food operations would work closely with hotel departments and approved suppliers to protect quality, maintain availability, and achieve competitive purchasing costs.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other tourism destinations. Procurement professionals can find work with international hotels, resorts, restaurants, catering companies, and food distributors, although Manila generally provides the widest corporate and career options. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented, respectful, and community-minded, with English widely used in business. Island life can be relaxed and scenic, offering beaches, diving, local cuisine, and a lower cost of living than many major international cities, while Manila provides busier urban living and heavier traffic. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged with assistance from the hiring company. Relocating employees should confirm accommodation, medical coverage, tax obligations, transport, and contract terms before arrival. Salaries and living costs vary considerably by island and property.
