The Events Manager will plan, coordinate and deliver meetings, weddings, conferences and social events for Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa and Golden Sands Resort in Penang. Requirements typically include a diploma or degree in hospitality, event management, business or a related field, together with several years of hotel or event experience. The successful candidate should understand banquet operations, event sales, budgeting, contracts and guest service. Strong communication, negotiation, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, along with confidence working with corporate clients, suppliers and hotel departments. The role also requires flexibility, attention to detail, commercial awareness and the ability to work evenings, weekends and public holidays when events demand it.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. The company is recognised for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and distinctive properties in major cities and resort destinations. In Penang, Shangri-La operates Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa and Golden Sands Resort, both located near Batu Feringgi beach. Rasa Sayang focuses on an upscale, tranquil experience with extensive gardens, dining and wellness facilities, while Golden Sands is designed for families and leisure travellers. Employees generally work in an international environment with opportunities to serve corporate groups, weddings, meetings and holiday guests. The group places emphasis on guest satisfaction, operational quality, teamwork and professional development.
Penang Island is one of Malaysia’s best-known hospitality destinations, combining beach resorts around Batu Feringgi with George Town’s UNESCO-listed heritage centre. Job opportunities are common in hotels, restaurants, events, tourism, retail, healthcare, education and shared services. Local culture blends Malay, Chinese, Indian and international influences, reflected in festivals, architecture and a strong food scene. Lifestyle is relatively relaxed and affordable compared with Kuala Lumpur, with beaches, hiking, heritage streets and excellent hawker food, although traffic can be busy. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company must support the application before work begins. Candidates should confirm visa eligibility, medical checks, taxation, accommodation and relocation assistance directly with Shangri-La. Monthly living costs vary, but Batu Feringgi accommodation may be higher than inland areas.
