About the employer

Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry, JEN and Traders brands. The company is known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and comprehensive guest experiences covering accommodation, dining, meetings, wellness and recreation.

Working in Indonesia

Indonesia offers hospitality opportunities across Bali, Java, Lombok, Batam and other resort destinations. Bali has the largest international tourism market and abundant hotel and restaurant jobs, while Jakarta and Surabaya provide stronger corporate and city-hotel opportunities. Indonesian culture values courtesy, community, respect for elders and religious diversity; workplaces are often multicultural and service-oriented. Lifestyle options range from beaches, diving and outdoor activities to busy urban living, with living costs varying considerably by island and location. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship and an appropriate work permit and stay visa before starting work; requirements can change, so confirmation with the employer and Indonesian immigration authorities is essential. Relocation packages may include accommodation, meals, flights, insurance or transport, but these benefits should be confirmed in writing. Learning basic Bahasa Indonesia is highly useful for daily life and staff communication.
