The Service Leader – Procurement supports purchasing activities across a cluster of Shangri-La properties in Malaysia. Responsibilities typically include sourcing goods and services, obtaining quotations, negotiating with suppliers, maintaining approved vendor relationships, monitoring costs, ensuring timely deliveries, and following company purchasing policies. Candidates are generally expected to have a diploma or degree in procurement, supply chain management, hospitality, business, or a related field, together with relevant hotel or purchasing experience. Strong communication, negotiation, organisation, numerical, and computer skills are important. Familiarity with procurement systems, inventory controls, supplier evaluation, and Malaysian market practices is advantageous. The successful candidate should be ethical, commercially aware, detail-oriented, service-focused, and able to coordinate effectively with culinary, rooms, finance, and operational teams across multiple properties.
Shangri-La Group is a major luxury hospitality company founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry, JEN, and Traders brands. Shangri-La properties are known for personalised service, strong cultural character, and high standards in guest experience, food and beverage, accommodation, and wellness. In Malaysia, the group operates established city and resort hotels, creating opportunities across hotel operations, finance, sales, engineering, culinary services, human resources, and procurement. The company generally promotes teamwork, professional hospitality standards, internal development, and attention to detail. A cluster procurement position supports several properties and therefore offers exposure to wider supplier networks, cost management, contract negotiation, and cross-hotel coordination within an international luxury-hotel environment.
Malaysia offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, tourism, retail, technology, manufacturing, education, and professional services. Popular island destinations such as Langkawi, Penang, Tioman, and parts of Sabah and Sarawak provide hospitality roles, while Kuala Lumpur and major mainland cities have broader corporate employment markets. Malaysian culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous influences reflected in food, festivals, language, and daily life. The lifestyle is generally affordable, sociable, and convenient, although resort islands may have higher living costs and fewer services. Public transport is strongest in major cities; island living often requires a motorbike or limited local transport. Foreign employees normally need an Employment Pass sponsored and processed by their employer, with approval from Malaysian authorities before starting work. Applicants should confirm eligibility, salary requirements, accommodation, insurance, tax, and work-permit conditions directly with Shangri-La and Malaysian immigration before relocating.
