The Events Manager is responsible for planning, selling and delivering conferences, weddings, meetings and other functions at Shangri-La. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, tourism, business or a related field, along with several years of experience in hotel events, catering or banquets. Strong knowledge of event operations, budgeting, contracts and customer service is expected. The candidate should communicate confidently, negotiate effectively and build positive relationships with clients and internal departments. The role requires excellent organisation, attention to detail, commercial awareness and the ability to manage multiple events under pressure. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and holidays is essential, together with a professional appearance and commitment to Shangri-La service standards.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The group is recognised for refined service, distinctive destinations and its Asian-inspired approach to genuine hospitality. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates well-known city hotels and resort properties, serving business travellers, families, leisure guests and large events. Employees typically work in a structured international environment with strong service standards, training opportunities and collaboration across departments. Benefits may include meals, uniforms, healthcare, service charge, staff rates and accommodation or transport support, depending on the property and employment contract. Events professionals can gain experience handling weddings, corporate meetings, incentive travel, banquets and major functions while developing a long-term career in global hotel operations.
The Philippines offers opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, events, customer service, education, technology and business-process outsourcing. Major employment hubs include Manila, Cebu, Clark, Boracay, Palawan and other resort islands. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented and strongly influenced by Spanish, American and Southeast Asian traditions; English is widely used in workplaces. Lifestyle varies from busy city living to relaxed coastal communities, with affordable food, warm weather and extensive beaches, diving and island travel. Manila generally has higher salaries but heavier traffic and higher living costs, while resort locations offer a slower pace but fewer services and seasonal work patterns. Foreign nationals usually need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly supported through the company. Before relocating, confirm sponsorship, contract terms, accommodation, taxation, healthcare and transportation. Local registration and immigration requirements should be checked with Philippine authorities.
