The Service Manager – Procurement (Food Buyer) is responsible for sourcing food products, negotiating with suppliers, managing purchasing agreements, monitoring costs, and ensuring consistent quality and availability for hotel operations. Candidates typically need a degree or diploma in procurement, supply chain, hospitality, business, or a related field, together with several years of purchasing experience, preferably in a luxury hotel or large hospitality environment. Strong supplier negotiation, market knowledge, inventory awareness, analytical ability, and communication skills are expected. The successful candidate should be organized, commercially minded, ethical, detail-oriented, and comfortable coordinating with kitchens, finance, stores, and operating departments while meeting Shangri-La’s quality and service standards.

The company employs people across hospitality, culinary, engineering, finance, procurement, guest services, and management functions. Its workplace generally emphasizes professionalism, cultural awareness, teamwork, integrity, and consistent luxury-service standards. Employees may benefit from structured training, international hospitality exposure, career development opportunities, and access to group-wide mobility, depending on the property and role.
The Philippines offers hospitality and procurement opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other major tourism destinations. Hotel jobs range from food and beverage and culinary work to purchasing, finance, engineering, and guest services. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented, English-friendly, and strongly influenced by regional traditions, festivals, and diverse cuisines. Lifestyle varies from busy metropolitan living in Manila to a slower, outdoor-focused pace on resort islands, where beaches, diving, and island travel are major attractions. Foreign hires generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged through the company; requirements can change, so confirmation with Philippine authorities is essential. Relocating employees should budget for housing, transport, health insurance, documentation, and seasonal weather disruptions, including typhoons. Local salaries are usually quoted in Philippine pesos, and accommodation or meals may depend on the employer and property.
