The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including menu planning, food quality, kitchen hygiene, cost control, budgeting, purchasing and team development. Candidates should have substantial experience as an Executive Chef or senior hotel chef, preferably in an international luxury property, with strong knowledge of HACCP, food safety, kitchen systems and multicultural cuisine. The role requires proven leadership, creativity, commercial awareness and the ability to maintain consistent standards during busy service periods. Shangri-La will expect the successful candidate to coach and motivate culinary teams, work closely with hotel management and create memorable dining experiences for guests. Strong communication skills and relevant culinary qualifications are normally required.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a major international luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and inspired by the idea of Asian hospitality. The company operates hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other global destinations. Its properties are known for attentive service, distinctive dining, wellness facilities and strong emphasis on guest satisfaction. Shangri-La hotels in Indonesia serve both international visitors and local guests, offering opportunities to work in sophisticated, multicultural environments. The company generally places importance on service culture, employee training, operational consistency and responsible business practices. Depending on the property, employees may receive benefits such as meals, service charge, accommodation or transport support, medical coverage and internal career development opportunities.
Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam and other resort islands. Bali has the largest international tourism market, with jobs in luxury hotels, restaurants, wellness and events, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide stronger corporate and city-hotel careers. Life can be rewarding, with warm weather, diverse food, beaches, community-focused culture and relatively affordable living, although traffic, humidity and seasonal tourism pressure can be challenging. Indonesian workplace culture values politeness, teamwork, respect for seniority and relationship building. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and KITAS; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers commonly assist with immigration, but candidates should confirm sponsorship, accommodation, taxes, insurance, flights and contract terms before relocating. Bali is more international but can be expensive in popular areas, whereas Java may offer lower living costs and a more local lifestyle.
