The Service Manager – Procurement (Food Buyer) is responsible for sourcing food products, negotiating with suppliers, monitoring prices and quality, and ensuring timely deliveries for hotel operations. Candidates should have procurement or purchasing experience, preferably in hospitality, food and beverage, or a large-scale resort environment. Knowledge of supplier evaluation, food safety, inventory control, contracts, and local market conditions is expected. Strong negotiation, communication, organization, and analytical skills are essential. The candidate should be commercially minded, reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work with chefs, finance teams, stores, and operational managers while maintaining Shangri-La’s quality and ethical purchasing standards.

The Philippines is an archipelago with major employment hubs in Luzon, especially Metro Manila, and strong tourism opportunities in Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort islands. Hospitality jobs are available in hotels, restaurants, resorts, travel companies, and support functions such as purchasing, finance, and human resources. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, community-minded, and English-friendly. Island life can offer beautiful beaches, outdoor activities, affordable local food, and a relaxed social atmosphere, although transport, internet reliability, healthcare access, and living costs vary significantly by location. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly involving a work permit and a 9(g) employment visa; requirements can change, so confirmation with the employer and Philippine authorities is essential. Candidates should budget for housing, transportation, insurance, and relocation costs, and clarify accommodation, meals, airfare, and visa support before accepting an offer.
