The Director of Events Management leads the planning, sales, coordination and delivery of conferences, weddings, banquets and other large-scale events. Requirements typically include a degree in hospitality, business or a related field, extensive hotel or events experience, strong commercial awareness and proven leadership skills. The successful candidate should be confident managing budgets, client relationships, suppliers and operational teams while maintaining Shangri-La’s service standards. Excellent communication, negotiation, organisation and problem-solving abilities are essential. The role also requires flexibility, attention to detail and the ability to work under pressure, including evenings, weekends and public holidays. Experience with luxury hotels, major corporate events and revenue targets would be highly advantageous.
Shangri-La Group is a leading luxury hospitality company headquartered in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. Its portfolio includes the Shangri-La, Kerry, JEN and Traders brands. The group is known for warm Asian hospitality, high-quality accommodation, distinctive dining, wellness facilities and carefully managed meetings and events. In the Philippines, Shangri-La properties are established in key destinations such as Manila, Cebu and Boracay, serving business travellers, leisure guests, weddings and large conferences. Employees generally work in a guest-focused, multicultural environment with strong emphasis on service standards, teamwork, professional presentation and commercial performance. Benefits may include service charge, meals, uniforms, medical coverage, staff rates and training, although the exact package depends on the property and employment contract.
The Philippines offers strong hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Clark and other resort destinations. Event professionals can find work in luxury hotels, convention venues, restaurants, cruise operations and destination-management companies. Filipino culture is warm, social and family-oriented, with English widely used in business and tourism. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed lifestyle, although traffic, tropical weather, occasional power interruptions and higher costs in major resort areas should be considered. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged through the company after an offer is accepted; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Relocation planning should include accommodation, healthcare, banking, local transport and shipment costs. Candidates should verify salary, service charge, housing assistance, probation terms and visa sponsorship directly with Shangri-La before accepting an overseas appointment.
