The Events Manager will plan, sell and coordinate meetings, conferences, weddings and social functions for Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort and Golden Sands Resort. Responsibilities include responding to enquiries, preparing proposals and contracts, managing budgets, coordinating with hotel departments and ensuring smooth event delivery and guest satisfaction. Candidates should have relevant experience in hotel events, catering or banquet sales, strong communication and negotiation skills, commercial awareness and excellent organisation. The role requires confidence in dealing with clients, attention to detail, flexibility with working hours and the ability to manage several events under pressure. Knowledge of the Penang hospitality market and proficiency in English are valuable; additional languages are an advantage.
Shangri-La is a leading luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. The group is recognised for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards and well-established training and career development programmes. In Penang, Shangri-La operates Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa and Golden Sands Resort, both located near Batu Feringgi’s beaches. The resorts serve leisure travellers, families, weddings, corporate groups and international events, with extensive accommodation, dining, meeting and recreational facilities. Employees typically work in a multicultural environment where guest care, teamwork, presentation and commercial performance are important. Benefits may include service charge, staff meals, uniform, accommodation support or hotel discounts, although the exact package depends on the employment contract and local policy.
Penang Island is one of Malaysia’s most popular places to work and live, combining a strong tourism economy with George Town’s heritage, food scene and growing business community. Hospitality opportunities are common in hotels, restaurants, event venues, attractions and travel companies, while retail, technology and education also provide employment. Local life is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian and international communities, lively festivals and famously diverse cuisine. Housing and daily expenses are generally lower than in Kuala Lumpur, although beachside areas can be more expensive. Batu Feringgi offers a relaxed resort lifestyle, while George Town is busier and more urban. Public buses, ride-hailing services and private vehicles are widely used. Foreign employees normally need an Employment Pass or other suitable work authorisation, sponsored and arranged by the employer before starting work. Confirm visa, tax, insurance and relocation terms directly with Shangri-La.
