The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including restaurants, banquets, room service, menu development, food quality, cost control, hygiene and kitchen profitability. Candidates are expected to have extensive experience as an Executive Chef or senior culinary leader, preferably in an international luxury hotel or resort. Strong knowledge of international and local cuisine, HACCP and food-safety standards, budgeting, purchasing and team development is required. The role calls for creative leadership, excellent communication, operational discipline and the ability to motivate a multicultural kitchen team. Fluency in English is generally expected, while Indonesian language skills and experience in the local market would be advantageous.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels and resorts across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international destinations. The company is known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and premium accommodation, dining, wellness and meeting facilities. Shangri-La properties in Indonesia typically serve leisure travellers, business guests, families and large events, combining international operating standards with local culture and destination experiences. Employees generally work in multicultural environments and may receive benefits such as meals, uniforms, training, medical coverage, service charge and staff accommodation, depending on the property and employment package. The group places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, culinary quality, responsible operations, colleague development and consistent brand standards.
Indonesia offers varied opportunities in luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, villas, tourism and food and beverage management. Bali is the main international hospitality hub, with strong demand in areas such as Nusa Dua, Seminyak and Ubud. Java, including Jakarta and Surabaya, provides more corporate and urban hotel roles, while Lombok, the Riau Islands and other resort destinations offer seasonal and destination-based work. Local culture values respect, community, religious diversity and polite communication; workplace expectations may be more formal than in some Western countries. Lifestyle ranges from busy city living to relaxed beach communities, with generally affordable food and transport outside major tourist areas. Foreign workers normally need employer sponsorship, an approved work permit and the correct Indonesian work visa before employment begins. Candidates should verify visa rules, contracts, tax obligations, accommodation and healthcare arrangements with Shangri-La and Indonesian authorities before relocating.
