The Executive Chef leads all culinary operations, including restaurants, banquets, room service, menu development, food quality, kitchen standards, budgeting and team performance. Candidates are generally expected to have substantial experience as an Executive Chef or senior culinary leader in a luxury hotel or international resort, preferably with Shangri-La or a comparable brand. Strong knowledge of international and local cuisine, food safety, cost control, HACCP, purchasing and kitchen administration is essential. The role requires creative leadership, excellent communication, staff coaching and the ability to maintain consistently high standards in a busy, multicultural environment. A culinary qualification and fluency in English are normally required; Indonesian language skills and local market experience may be advantageous.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The company is recognised for personalised Asian-inspired hospitality, strong service standards and upscale facilities including restaurants, spas, meeting venues and leisure experiences. Shangri-La properties typically employ multinational teams and place emphasis on guest satisfaction, employee development, responsible business practices and operational excellence. In Indonesia, the group has operated prominent city hotels and resort properties, serving business travellers, holidaymakers and event guests. An Executive Chef joining Shangri-La would usually work within a structured international brand environment, collaborating with hotel leadership, food and beverage teams, suppliers and culinary staff while delivering consistent quality and commercially successful dining experiences.
Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam and other resort islands, particularly in luxury hotels, restaurants, events and tourism. Bali is the most international and tourism-focused destination, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide stronger corporate and city-hotel markets. Life can include warm weather, beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed social culture, although traffic, seasonal demand and varying infrastructure should be considered. Indonesian culture values respect, community, family and religious diversity; modesty and sensitivity toward local customs are important. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged through the hiring company, and must not work on a tourist visa. Relocation packages may include accommodation, meals, flights, insurance and transport, but this varies by contract. Candidates should confirm tax treatment, housing, medical coverage, contract duration and work authorisation before accepting an offer.
