The Senior Events Manager is expected to plan, sell, coordinate and deliver conferences, weddings, corporate functions and other events while meeting revenue and guest-satisfaction targets. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, events, business or a related field, together with several years of hotel or event-management experience. Strong communication, negotiation, budgeting, organisational and leadership skills are essential. The successful candidate should build client relationships, prepare proposals and contracts, coordinate with operational departments and suppliers, supervise event execution, resolve issues professionally and maintain Shangri-La service standards. Flexibility to work weekends, evenings and public holidays is expected.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong and recognised for its hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. The group operates several respected properties in the Philippines, including Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, and Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu. Its brand is associated with warm Asian hospitality, personalised guest service, premium accommodation, dining, meetings and leisure facilities. Employees generally work in a multicultural environment with structured operational standards and opportunities to develop careers across hotels and regions. An events leadership role may involve close cooperation with sales, banqueting, culinary, finance, front office and external suppliers. Exact duties and benefits depend on the property, employment contract and local labour terms.
The Philippines offers hospitality and events opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao and other resort destinations. Jobs are available in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism companies, convention venues and corporate event agencies. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented and strongly influenced by Spanish, American and Asian traditions; English is widely used in business and tourism. Lifestyle varies from fast-paced metropolitan living to relaxed island communities, with beaches, diving, festivals and affordable local food. Foreign nationals generally need an employer-sponsored work visa or permit, commonly supported through the Department of Labor and Employment and immigration authorities. Requirements vary by nationality and contract, so professional advice is recommended. Relocation costs, housing, transport and healthcare should be checked with the employer. Manila offers broader career progression, while resort locations may provide a more scenic lifestyle but fewer urban services.
