Flexibility, commercial awareness, attention to detail and the ability to work evenings, weekends and public holidays are essential.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and Africa. The company is recognised for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and full-service properties serving both business and leisure travellers. In Penang, Shangri-La operates Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa and Golden Sands Resort, two established beachfront resorts at Batu Feringgi. Rasa Sayang focuses on upscale and luxury experiences, while Golden Sands is designed particularly for families and resort holidays. Both properties offer restaurants, event facilities, recreation and extensive guest services. Employees generally work in an international environment with opportunities to develop in hotel operations, events, food and beverage, sales and leadership.
Penang, an island state on Malaysia’s northwest coast, offers strong opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events, tourism, retail and digital services. Batu Feringgi is centred on beach resorts, while George Town provides heritage, food, arts and a livelier urban setting. Local culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian and international influences, with festivals, temples, mosques and exceptional street food. Lifestyle is generally relaxed and affordable compared with Kuala Lumpur, although rents near the beach and historic centre can be higher. Reliable transport, international schools, hospitals and a busy expatriate community make relocation practical. Foreign employees normally require employer sponsorship for an Employment Pass; the company handles the application and eligibility depends on salary, qualifications and role. Candidates should confirm current immigration rules, medical requirements and contract benefits before moving. Malaysia is hot and humid year-round, with heavier rain during monsoon periods.
