The Manager – Human Resources (Compensation & Benefits) is expected to manage salary structures, benefits programmes, payroll coordination, employee data, and rewards policies in line with UAE labour regulations and Shangri-La standards. Candidates should have a degree in human resources, business administration, finance, or a related discipline, with several years of experience in compensation and benefits, preferably within luxury hospitality. Strong knowledge of UAE employment practices, HR systems, data analysis, budgeting, communication, and confidentiality is required. The successful candidate will provide accurate reporting, advise leaders on remuneration matters, support pay reviews, and ensure fair, competitive, and well-governed employee benefits.
Shangri-La is an international luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and recognised for its warm, personalised service and distinctive sense of place. The group operates hotels, resorts, residences, and related hospitality businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international markets. Its properties commonly combine premium accommodation with restaurants, wellness facilities, event venues, and extensive guest services. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on gracious hospitality, colleague development, service excellence, cultural awareness, and responsible business practices. In the United Arab Emirates, the company operates luxury properties serving leisure travellers, business guests, long-stay residents, and local events. Human Resources roles support a diverse, multicultural workforce and help maintain consistent employment standards, competitive rewards, and a positive colleague experience across the operation.
The United Arab Emirates is not an island, but it is a popular Gulf destination with opportunities in hospitality, tourism, aviation, retail, finance, technology, and construction. Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer the broadest employment markets, while other emirates provide resort and leisure roles. The culture is multicultural and generally welcoming, with Islamic traditions shaping public behaviour, holidays, dress expectations, and working practices. Lifestyle options range from beaches, desert activities, and shopping to international dining and arts events. Summers are extremely hot, so indoor facilities and air-conditioning are central to daily life. Most overseas employees need an employer-sponsored residence visa, work permit, medical examination, and Emirates ID; working on a tourist visa is prohibited. Employers often provide accommodation or an allowance, health insurance, flights, and relocation support, though packages vary. Candidates should verify contract terms, probation, gratuity, and housing costs before moving.
