The Events Manager plans, coordinates and delivers conferences, weddings, banquets and other hotel events, working closely with clients, sales, food and beverage, kitchen, housekeeping and operations teams. Candidates are generally expected to have a degree or diploma in hospitality, tourism, business or a related field, together with several years of event, banquet or hotel experience. Strong organizational, communication, negotiation and customer-service skills are essential. The role requires the ability to manage budgets, timelines, suppliers and event details while maintaining Shangri-La service standards. Flexibility is important, as the position may involve weekends, holidays, late hours and multiple events running simultaneously.
Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The company is known for its high service standards, elegant properties, strong dining and events operations, and its Asian-inspired approach to genuine hospitality. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties including Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, and Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu, serving leisure travelers, business guests, weddings, conferences and large corporate events. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment with structured hotel operations, guest-focused service expectations and opportunities for professional development. The group places emphasis on teamwork, personalized service, operational excellence and creating memorable experiences for guests and event clients.
The Philippines is an archipelago with major employment hubs in Metro Manila, Cebu, Boracay and other resort destinations. Hospitality professionals can find opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruise services, events, tourism and business-process outsourcing. Filipino culture is generally warm, community-oriented and English-friendly, with strong family traditions, diverse regional cuisines, festivals and a relaxed social lifestyle. Manila offers the widest career choices but has heavy traffic and higher urban living costs; Cebu and resort islands offer a slower pace, though fewer specialized roles. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate employment visa, while entry as a tourist does not authorize work. Secure the job offer first, confirm sponsorship, budget for housing and healthcare, and check local immigration requirements before relocating.
