The Director of Food & Beverage leads all restaurant, bar, banquet, and room-service operations at Shangri-La Hambantota. The role typically requires a hospitality or business qualification and substantial experience in senior food-and-beverage management, preferably within an international luxury hotel or resort. The successful candidate should demonstrate strong commercial awareness, budgeting and cost-control skills, menu and service-quality knowledge, and the ability to manage large, multicultural teams. Expectations include improving guest satisfaction and revenue, maintaining brand standards, ensuring food safety and compliance, developing colleagues, and working closely with the executive team on resort strategy.
Shangri-La Group is a major international hospitality company headquartered in Hong Kong, operating luxury hotels, resorts, residences, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, North America, and Australia. Its brands are associated with high standards of Asian-inspired hospitality, personalized service, and extensive guest facilities. Shangri-La Hambantota is a large luxury resort on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, set within a coastal and natural environment and offering accommodation, dining, leisure, wellness, and event facilities. The resort serves international leisure travelers, families, groups, and business or incentive guests. Employees can expect a multicultural workplace, structured service standards, and opportunities to work within a globally recognized hotel network.
Sri Lanka offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, aviation, technology, education, healthcare, and international business. Hospitality work is concentrated in Colombo, the southern coast, the Cultural Triangle, and resort areas such as Hambantota. The culture combines Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim, and colonial influences, with strong traditions of family, religion, festivals, and welcoming visitors. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities; costs are generally lower than in many Western countries, although imported goods can be expensive. Foreign employees normally need an employer-supported residence or work authorization and should not work on a tourist visa. Confirm current immigration rules, tax obligations, insurance, housing, transport, and schooling before relocating. Hambantota is quieter than Colombo, so travel to larger cities may require planning.
