Director, Culinary - South East Asia

The Director, Culinary - South East Asia (SEA) is a hands-on, hotel-facing role responsible for driving food & beverage (F&B) performance across the region by making the food better. The person in this role will spend significant time on property, in kitchens, and working side by side with hotel culinary and F&B teams to build restaurants and food experiences that guests choose to come back for, and that the local community genuinely loves. A central focus of this role is elevating breakfast across the portfolio, turning a daily routine into a genuine point of differentiation and guest satisfaction. Beyond breakfast, the Director of Culinary will champion the culinary execution of signature, concept-led restaurants, ensuring the food experience brings each concept to life with quality, consistency and relevance. The role will bring an entrepreneurial, owner-operator mindset to restaurant performance and turnaround, driving sustainable commercial returns, while also raising the ambition and execution of culinary events and experiences to create memorable moments that differentiate our hotels from their competitors and support the delivery of outstanding event experiences, a key strategic focus across the region. This role requires extensive travel across SEA and a willingness to work directly and practically alongside hotel teams, general managers and owners to identify what is holding an outlet back and to fix it.
