The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including restaurant, banquet, room-service and staff dining kitchens. Requirements typically include extensive experience as an Executive Chef or senior Sous Chef in a luxury hotel or resort, strong knowledge of international and local cuisine, food safety certification, menu planning, cost control and team leadership. The successful candidate is expected to maintain Shangri-La’s quality standards, develop creative menus, control food and labour costs, coach multicultural teams, ensure compliance with hygiene regulations and deliver consistently excellent guest experiences. Experience in pre-opening operations, large-scale banquets and luxury hospitality in Indonesia or Southeast Asia would be advantageous.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and recognised for warm, personalised service. The company operates hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international destinations under the Shangri-La, Shangri-La Resorts, Traders and Kerry brands. Its properties are known for refined accommodation, diverse dining, wellness facilities and strong attention to local culture. Shangri-La places considerable emphasis on employee development, guest satisfaction, responsible business practices and creating memorable experiences. In Indonesia, the group has operated premium properties serving leisure travellers, business guests, families and international events. Working for Shangri-La generally involves a multicultural environment, structured brand standards and opportunities to progress through an international hotel network.
Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam and other resort destinations, particularly in hotels, restaurants, tourism, wellness and events. Bali is the most international market, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide stronger corporate and city-hotel employment. Indonesian culture values politeness, community, family and religious diversity; workplaces are generally multicultural and relationship-oriented. Lifestyle options range from beaches and outdoor activities to busy cities, with traffic and seasonal tourism affecting daily life. Foreign nationals normally require employer sponsorship and an appropriate work permit and stay permit, commonly arranged through the hiring company. Candidates should not work on a tourist visa. Relocation packages may include accommodation, meals, flights, insurance and transportation, but terms vary by contract. Costs are moderate outside central Bali and Jakarta, and learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful. Visa rules can change, so applicants should confirm requirements with the employer and Indonesian immigration authorities.
