Job description

An opportunity for an engaging individual with a passion for hospitality, an appreciation for fine beverages and a natural flair for hosting.

Nestled within the historic heart of George Town, Soori Penang is an intimate luxury boutique hotel where thoughtful hospitality, personal connections and attention to detail define the guest experience.

We are seeking a personable, confident and hands-on individual who enjoys engaging with guests, has an appreciation for food and beverages, and takes pride in delivering an exceptional experience.

From preparing a beautifully balanced classic cocktail to serving a perfect cup of coffee or recommending a glass of wine, we value someone who understands that great hospitality lies in both the details and the personal connection.

The Individual

Naturally personable, articulate and well-presented, with a warm and engaging presence.

Confident in preparing classic cocktails, with a sound understanding of spirits, ingredients and presentation.

Knowledgeable or keen to develop expertise in coffee, tea and wine service.

A gracious host who enjoys meaningful conversations and engaging with guests.

Attentive to detail, with an appreciation for quality, presentation and thoughtful service.

Proactive, resourceful and hands-on, with a willingness to take initiative beyond the bar.

Adaptable and a team player, comfortable supporting guest services and other hotel operations when required.

Curious, creative and eager to develop new skills and ideas.

The Opportunity

As our Food & Beverage Specialist, you will play an important role in shaping the guest experience at Soori Penang.

You will oversee beverage preparation and service, create welcoming moments through thoughtful guest interactions and help maintain the highest standards of presentation and hospitality.

Working within a small, dedicated team, you will have the opportunity to contribute ideas, refine the beverage offering and take ownership of the guest experience.

We value personality, initiative and genuine passion as much as technical expertise.

If you have a love for classic cocktails, an instinct for hospitality and the desire to create memorable experiences, we would be delighted to hear from you.
