Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, tourism, events or a related field, along with several years of hotel or event-management experience. The successful candidate should have strong client-service, sales, communication, negotiation and organizational skills, with the ability to manage budgets, suppliers, timelines and multiple events simultaneously. Flexibility is essential, as the role may involve evenings, weekends and public holidays. Candidates are expected to maintain Shangri-La’s service standards, build strong relationships with clients and internal departments, resolve issues calmly and ensure every event is delivered safely, smoothly and profitably.

In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties such as Shangri-La The Fort, Manila and Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu.

Exact responsibilities and benefits vary by property, but commonly include performance incentives, staff meals, uniforms, training and opportunities for career progression.
The Philippines offers hospitality and events opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan and other major tourism destinations. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, convention venues and destination-management companies regularly seek event planners, banquet leaders, sales professionals and operations staff. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented and relationship-driven, with English widely used in business and tourism. Lifestyle varies from fast-paced urban living in Manila to a more relaxed beach-oriented pace in Cebu, Boracay or Palawan. Costs are generally lower than in many international cities, although central Manila housing can be expensive. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa; requirements should be confirmed with Philippine immigration and the employer. Relocating candidates should arrange certified documents, health insurance, accommodation and local banking before arrival. Weather is tropical, with a rainy season and occasional typhoons, so location and transport planning are important.
