The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including menu planning, food quality, kitchen budgets, purchasing, hygiene, and team performance. Candidates should have extensive experience as an Executive Chef or senior culinary leader in a luxury hotel or resort, ideally with international exposure. Strong knowledge of food safety, cost control, modern culinary trends, and multi-outlet operations is expected. The successful candidate should be an inspiring leader who can coach diverse teams, maintain Shangri-La standards, manage busy service periods, and deliver consistently high-quality guest experiences. Excellent communication, organization, creativity, and financial management skills are essential. A culinary qualification and fluency in English are normally required.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a global luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other destinations. The company is recognized for warm Asian hospitality, refined service, attractive resort settings, and strong attention to guest comfort. Its properties typically offer accommodation, restaurants, bars, banqueting, wellness facilities, and extensive meeting or leisure services. Shangri-La places importance on service culture, professional development, responsible business practices, and creating memorable experiences for guests. In Indonesia, the group has operated luxury hospitality properties serving both international visitors and domestic travelers. An Executive Chef joining the company would be expected to protect brand standards while adapting menus and operations to local ingredients, guest preferences, and the individual character of the property.
Indonesia offers varied opportunities for hospitality professionals across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam, and other resort islands. Bali has the largest concentration of international hotels, restaurants, and tourism jobs, while Java provides opportunities in major cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya. The culture is diverse, welcoming, and strongly influenced by local traditions, religion, family, and community. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities, with generally affordable food and services, although popular tourist areas can be expensive. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and the appropriate work and residence permits; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers commonly assist with immigration, accommodation, insurance, flights, or relocation support, depending on seniority. Candidates should confirm salary, benefits, tax treatment, housing, medical coverage, and permit arrangements before accepting an offer. Bali is attractive but traffic, seasonal demand, and infrastructure should be considered.
