The Events Manager is expected to plan, coordinate and deliver conferences, weddings, meetings and other functions, while ensuring excellent guest service and strong commercial results. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, business or a related field, together with several years of experience in hotel events, catering or banqueting. The successful candidate should be highly organised, confident negotiating with clients and suppliers, and comfortable managing budgets, timelines and operational teams. Shangri-La will likely expect strong communication, presentation and problem-solving skills, attention to detail, flexibility with working hours, and the ability to remain calm while handling multiple events and changing client demands.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international destinations. The group is recognised for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and extensive facilities including accommodation, restaurants, meeting spaces, wellness centres and leisure activities. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties such as Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, and Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu, serving business travellers, holidaymakers and local event clients. Employees generally work in a structured, service-focused environment with opportunities to support major conferences, weddings and corporate functions. Benefits may include staff meals, training, service charges and hotel-related discounts, although the exact package depends on the property, position and employment contract.
The Philippines is an archipelago with strong hospitality, tourism and events opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao and other resort destinations. Jobs are commonly available in hotels, restaurants, cruise operations, resorts, travel companies and corporate event agencies. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented and community-minded, with English widely used in business and tourism. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living in Manila to a slower beach and island pace in Cebu or Palawan. Costs are generally lower than in many Western countries, though central Manila and popular resort areas can be expensive. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly an Alien Employment Permit plus a 9(g) work visa; requirements can change, so confirmation with Philippine authorities is advisable. Employers often assist with documentation and relocation, but housing, tax, insurance and travel arrangements should be clarified before accepting an offer.
