The Procurement or Assistant Procurement Manager is responsible for sourcing food, beverages, operating supplies, equipment and services while ensuring quality, competitive pricing and timely delivery. Typical requirements include a diploma or degree in procurement, supply chain, business or hospitality management, along with several years of purchasing experience, preferably in a hotel or resort. The candidate should understand supplier evaluation, negotiation, inventory controls, purchasing systems and local regulations. Strong communication, analytical and organisational skills are expected, as well as integrity, attention to detail and the ability to work with finance, kitchens, stores and department heads. Familiarity with Malaysian suppliers and hospitality procurement practices would be advantageous.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Asia, operating hotels, resorts and related properties across countries in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The group is known for warm Asian hospitality, premium accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities and event services. Its Malaysian properties serve business and leisure travellers in locations that may include Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and resort destinations. Shangri-La generally places strong emphasis on service standards, colleague development, ethical business practices and guest satisfaction. A procurement manager supports these standards by building reliable supplier relationships, controlling costs, maintaining product quality and ensuring that hotel operations receive supplies efficiently. The role can offer useful exposure to large-scale hospitality purchasing and cross-department management.
Malaysia offers varied career opportunities in hotels, resorts, purchasing, food and beverage, tourism and corporate services. Popular island and coastal destinations include Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu, Redang, Tioman and parts of Sabah and Sarawak. Life is generally affordable compared with many international destinations, although resort islands can have higher housing and transport costs. The culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous influences, and English is widely used in hotels and business. Island living is relaxed, with beaches, diving, nature and outdoor activities, but supplies and healthcare may be more limited than on the mainland. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, with approval handled by the company and Malaysian authorities. Candidates should confirm salary, accommodation, transport, insurance, work-pass support and contract terms before relocating.
