The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including restaurants, banquets, room service, menu development, food quality, kitchen hygiene, purchasing and cost control. Candidates should have extensive experience as an Executive Chef or senior culinary leader, ideally within a luxury hotel or international resort. Strong knowledge of international and local cuisine, food safety standards, budgeting, staff training and large-volume production is expected. The successful candidate should be creative, commercially minded, hands-on and confident managing multicultural teams. Excellent communication, leadership and organizational skills are essential, together with the ability to maintain Shangri-La’s service standards and consistently deliver high-quality guest experiences.
Shangri-La is a global luxury hospitality group headquartered in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The company is known for warm Asian-inspired hospitality, refined service and distinctive properties in city and resort destinations. Shangri-La hotels typically offer accommodation, restaurants, bars, wellness facilities, meeting spaces and leisure activities, with a strong focus on personalized guest experiences. In Indonesia, the group has operated prominent luxury properties in destinations such as Jakarta, Bali and other resort markets. Employees generally work in multicultural environments and receive opportunities to develop within an international hotel network. Benefits for senior roles may include accommodation or housing support, meals, medical coverage, travel-related privileges and performance incentives, although packages vary by property and contract.
Indonesia offers varied opportunities for hospitality professionals across Bali, Java, Lombok, Sumatra and other islands. Bali is the most internationally oriented market, with strong demand in luxury resorts, restaurants, wellness and tourism, while Jakarta provides corporate hotels and larger commercial operations. Indonesian culture values courtesy, community, family and respectful communication; English is common in international hotels, though Bahasa Indonesia is useful for daily life. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to relaxed beach or rural communities, with generally affordable local food and transport. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate immigration authorization before starting employment; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Employers commonly assist with permits, relocation, accommodation and local registration. Candidates should confirm salary, housing, flights, healthcare, taxes and contract conditions directly with Shangri-La before relocating.
