The Service Manager – Procurement (Food Buyer) is responsible for sourcing food products, negotiating with suppliers, managing purchasing costs, and ensuring consistent quality and availability for hotel operations. Candidates typically need a degree in procurement, supply chain management, hospitality, business, or a related field, along with several years of purchasing experience, preferably in a hotel or food-service environment. Strong supplier-negotiation, market-analysis, inventory-control, communication, and computer skills are expected. The successful candidate should be commercially aware, ethical, organized, detail-oriented, and able to work under pressure while maintaining Shangri-La’s quality, food-safety, and sustainability standards.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and recognized for its warm Asian hospitality, premium accommodations, and high service standards. The company operates hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. In the Philippines, Shangri-La properties are major employers in hotel operations, food and beverage, events, guest services, procurement, engineering, and administration. The group places strong emphasis on personalized service, employee development, responsible business practices, and creating memorable experiences for guests. Procurement roles support the wider operation by ensuring that hotels receive safe, high-quality food and supplies at competitive prices while maintaining reliable relationships with approved vendors.
The Philippines offers hospitality and procurement opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other tourism centers. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruise businesses, and food distributors regularly seek professionals in purchasing, supply chain, finance, food and beverage, and operations. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented, and community-minded, with English widely used in business and hospitality. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities; living costs are generally lower than in many international destinations, although Manila and resort islands can be expensive. Foreign applicants normally need employer sponsorship, an appropriate work visa or permit, and supporting documents before starting employment. Filipinos relocating between islands should consider transport links, housing availability, healthcare, internet reliability, and seasonal weather. Typhoons, humidity, and long travel times can affect daily life, while local food, beaches, festivals, and strong social networks are major attractions.
