The Assistant Front Office Manager supports the Front Office Manager in running reception, concierge, guest services, telephone operations and related arrival and departure procedures.

The candidate should have strong leadership, communication and problem-solving skills, sound knowledge of hotel systems, and a professional command of English.

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is a Hong Kong-based luxury hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other destinations. The brand is known for warm Asian hospitality, premium accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities and personalized guest service. In the Philippines, Shangri-La properties include established hotels and resorts serving business travelers, families, leisure guests and international events. Employees generally work in structured, service-focused environments with formal operating standards, training opportunities and clear departmental responsibilities. Front-office team members are expected to create a welcoming arrival experience, protect guest privacy, handle requests efficiently and represent the company’s commitment to genuine care. Specific benefits, management style and career progression vary by property, employment status and local labor conditions.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, Davao and other resort destinations. Hotels, resorts, restaurants, cruise services, travel companies and wellness businesses regularly recruit front-office, food-and-beverage, housekeeping and supervisory staff. Workplace culture is generally warm, relationship-oriented and respectful of seniority, while English is widely used in tourism. Life can range from busy urban living in Manila to a slower beach lifestyle on islands such as Boracay or Palawan. Expect tropical weather, affordable local food and transport, but also traffic, seasonal storms and varying infrastructure. Foreign applicants normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa before beginning employment; requirements depend on nationality and contract. Filipino applicants should verify labor standards, accommodation, transport and benefits in the offer. Research the exact island, medical access, housing costs and emergency arrangements before relocating.
