The Director of Food & Beverage leads all dining, bar, banquet and room-service operations at Shangri-La Hambantota. The role requires strong luxury-hospitality experience, preferably in a senior F&B leadership position, with proven skills in team management, budgeting, menu and service standards, cost control, revenue generation and guest satisfaction. Candidates should understand food safety, local regulations and international service expectations. Excellent English communication, commercial awareness and the ability to work collaboratively with executive leadership are expected. Experience in a large resort, multicultural environment or pre-opening operation would be advantageous. The successful candidate will develop a motivated team, maintain Shangri-La standards and deliver memorable dining experiences while improving profitability.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. The company is known for personalised service, high-quality accommodation and strong attention to guest experience. Shangri-La Hambantota Resort & Spa is a large coastal resort in southern Sri Lanka, set within a spacious tropical environment and offering rooms, villas, restaurants, event facilities, recreational activities and wellness services. Its location supports both leisure and destination-resort tourism. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment and are expected to uphold Shangri-La’s service philosophy, operational standards and commitment to professional development. Benefits and employment conditions vary according to the position, local law and whether the appointment is local or expatriate.
Sri Lanka offers hospitality opportunities in luxury resorts, city hotels, restaurants, tourism, wellness, aviation and travel services, especially in Colombo, the south coast, the Cultural Triangle and the east. The culture combines Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim and colonial influences, with Buddhist traditions, welcoming communities, colourful festivals and diverse cuisine. Lifestyle costs are generally lower than in many international destinations, while coastal living, wildlife, surfing, tea country and historic sites provide a strong quality of life. Foreign employees normally need an employer-supported work or residence permit; a tourist visa does not allow employment. Confirm requirements with Shangri-La and Sri Lankan immigration before travelling. Relocating staff should check accommodation, healthcare, taxation, schooling and transport arrangements. English is widely used in tourism, while Sinhala and Tamil are the main local languages. Weather is tropical, with regional monsoon seasons.
