The Assistant Procurement Manager supports purchasing operations by sourcing suppliers, negotiating prices, monitoring inventory, preparing purchase orders, and ensuring timely delivery of food, beverages, equipment, and hotel supplies. Candidates typically need a diploma or degree in procurement, supply chain, hospitality management, business, or a related field, along with several years of purchasing experience, preferably in a hotel or resort. Strong knowledge of local suppliers, inventory controls, cost management, Microsoft Office, and procurement systems is expected. The role requires good negotiation, communication, analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Candidates should be ethical, detail-oriented, commercially aware, and able to work under pressure while maintaining Shangri-La’s quality and compliance standards.

In Malaysia, Shangri-La operates established city and resort properties, including hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Kota Kinabalu.

Malaysia offers opportunities in luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, retail, logistics, and corporate services. Popular island and coastal destinations include Langkawi, Penang, Tioman, Redang, Kota Kinabalu, and parts of Sabah and Sarawak, while Kuala Lumpur remains the main business hub. Malaysian culture is diverse, combining Malay, Chinese, Indian, Indigenous, and international influences, with English commonly used in hospitality workplaces. Lifestyle costs vary: resort islands may offer a relaxed environment but fewer services and higher transport costs, while major cities provide better healthcare, shopping, and public transport. Foreign employees generally require employer-sponsored approval and an Employment Pass before starting work; requirements depend on nationality, salary, and role. Relocating workers should confirm accommodation, medical insurance, tax, transport, and dependent arrangements with the employer. Weather is tropical year-round, with monsoon patterns varying by coast.
