The Events Manager plans and delivers conferences, weddings, corporate functions and other events at Shangri-La. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, tourism, business or a related field, along with several years of hotel events, banquet or catering experience. Strong organisation, budgeting, negotiation and communication skills are essential, as well as confidence managing clients, suppliers and internal departments. The successful candidate is expected to meet sales targets, prepare proposals and event orders, coordinate event set-up and service, resolve issues professionally, and maintain Shangri-La’s service standards. Flexibility is important because the role commonly involves evenings, weekends, public holidays and high-pressure operating periods.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international destinations. Its properties are known for attentive service, comfortable facilities, restaurants, wellness offerings and large-scale meetings and events. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates well-established properties including Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City and Edsa Shangri-La in Mandaluyong, while its resort presence includes Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu. The company places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, professional presentation, teamwork and staff development. An Events Manager can expect to work closely with sales, banquet, culinary, front office and operations teams while serving corporate clients, wedding couples, travel partners and private groups.
The Philippines offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, events, tourism, diving and travel services, particularly in Metro Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan and Davao. Hospitality work is often fast-paced but social, with strong demand during holidays, wedding seasons and international conferences. Filipino culture values warmth, family, respect and teamwork; English is widely used in business and tourism. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to relaxed coastal communities, with generally affordable food, transport and accommodation outside major business districts. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work visa or permit, and should not begin employment on a tourist visa. Employers commonly assist with documentation, although requirements can include a passport, employment contract, medical checks and government approvals. Relocation planning should cover housing, local transport, health insurance, tropical weather and occasional typhoons. Salaries and benefits should be confirmed directly with the employer.
