The Assistant Events Manager supports the planning and delivery of meetings, conferences, weddings and other functions, from initial briefing through completion. Requirements typically include a diploma or degree in hospitality, event management or a related field, along with relevant hotel or events experience. The candidate should be organised, service-oriented and confident communicating with clients, suppliers and hotel departments. Responsibilities may include preparing proposals and function sheets, coordinating set-up, monitoring event budgets, handling guest requests, supervising event staff and ensuring Shangri-La service standards are met. Flexibility, attention to detail, problem-solving ability and willingness to work evenings, weekends and public holidays are important. Knowledge of local venues, vendors and Malaysian hospitality practices would be advantageous.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. Its properties are known for premium accommodation, restaurants, wellness facilities, business services and extensive meetings and events capabilities. The company places strong emphasis on personalised service, Asian hospitality, employee development and guest experience. In Malaysia, Shangri-La operates well-known city hotels and resort properties, serving leisure travellers, corporate clients, wedding groups and large events. An Assistant Events Manager would normally work closely with sales, banquet, culinary, front office and operations teams to deliver smooth functions and maintain brand standards. Benefits and exact salary depend on the property, experience, qualifications and the overall employment package, which may include service charge, meals, accommodation or other resort-related benefits.
Malaysia offers varied opportunities in hotel events, banqueting, food and beverage, tourism, retail and resort operations, particularly in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Langkawi, Sabah and Sarawak. Popular island destinations include Langkawi, Penang, Tioman, Redang, Perhentian and parts of Sabah. Local culture combines Malay, Chinese, Indian and Indigenous traditions, with excellent food, festivals and generally welcoming communities. Lifestyle ranges from busy urban living to relaxed beach or nature-based resort life; costs are usually lower than in Singapore or major Western cities, though island accommodation can be seasonal and expensive. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored Employment Pass, and the company must support the application before work begins. Requirements vary by nationality and role, so candidates should confirm current rules with Malaysian immigration and the employer. Relocation planning should cover housing, healthcare, transport, insurance and monsoon-season travel.
