The Director of Events Management leads the planning, sales, and delivery of conferences, weddings, banquets, and other large-scale events for Shangri-La. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, events, business, or a related field, along with substantial experience in luxury hotels or event operations. Strong leadership, budgeting, negotiation, client relationship, communication, and organisational skills are expected. The candidate should be commercially minded, confident managing high-profile clients and teams, and able to coordinate closely with sales, food and beverage, rooms, and operations departments. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and public holidays is essential.
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 known for personalised Asian-inspired hospitality, high service standards, premium accommodation, restaurants, meeting facilities, and resort experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates established properties in locations such as Makati, Bonifacio Global City, Cebu, and Boracay. Its hotels serve business travellers, leisure guests, weddings, conferences, and major social events. Employees generally work in structured, multicultural environments with an emphasis on guest satisfaction, operational excellence, professional presentation, teamwork, and brand standards. Depending on the property, benefits may include service charge, meals, uniform, insurance, training, accommodation assistance, and opportunities for career mobility within the wider group.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Manila, Makati, and Bonifacio Global City provide the largest concentration of corporate hotels, events, restaurants, and management roles. Cebu combines strong tourism, conventions, and resort employment, while Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and Siargao offer lifestyle-focused resort careers. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented, community-minded, and English is widely used in hotels and business. Living costs vary significantly: Manila is more expensive and fast-paced, while provincial islands are generally slower and cheaper, though transport and utilities can be less convenient. Foreign nationals usually require an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly involving an Alien Employment Permit and a 9(g) pre-arranged employment visa. Candidates should confirm current immigration rules, medical requirements, taxes, accommodation, and relocation support before accepting an offer.
