The Events Manager will plan, coordinate and deliver meetings, conferences, weddings and other events for Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort and Golden Sands Resort. The role typically requires a diploma or degree in hospitality, event management, business or a related field, together with several years of hotel or events experience. Strong organisation, budgeting, negotiation and client-management skills are essential, as is confidence working with food and beverage, banquet, sales and operations teams. The successful candidate is expected to manage events from initial enquiry through completion, maintain high service standards, meet revenue targets, solve problems quickly and build lasting relationships with corporate and leisure clients. Flexibility, attention to detail, professional communication and willingness to work evenings, weekends and public holidays are important.

Penang is Malaysia’s best-known island destination for combining hospitality careers with urban convenience. Job opportunities are available in luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, events, retail, education and technology, with George Town and Batu Ferringhi being key employment areas. The culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian and international influences, reflected in its festivals, temples, mosques, heritage buildings and celebrated street food. Lifestyle is generally relaxed, with beaches, hiking, cafés and a lively arts scene, while living costs are moderate compared with Kuala Lumpur. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company must meet Malaysian immigration requirements before work begins. Candidates should confirm sponsorship, contract terms, accommodation, insurance and relocation support before accepting an offer. Penang International Airport provides convenient regional connections, and public transport, taxis and ride-hailing services are widely available.
