The Sales Manager, based in Manila, is expected to develop business for Shangri-La’s hotels and resorts, build relationships with corporate and leisure clients, manage key accounts, conduct sales calls and presentations, and achieve revenue targets. Candidates should have a degree or equivalent experience in hospitality, business, marketing, or a related field, together with several years of hotel sales experience. Strong knowledge of the Manila market, communication and negotiation skills, commercial awareness, and proficiency in English are typically required. The successful candidate should be confident, well presented, organized, target driven, willing to travel for client meetings, and able to work collaboratively with revenue, reservations, events, and hotel operations teams.
Shangri-La is a major luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other international destinations. The group is recognized for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, elegant accommodation, and extensive facilities including restaurants, meeting spaces, wellness centers, and family services. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties such as Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, and other established resorts and hotels. The company employs people across hotel operations, food and beverage, sales, finance, engineering, guest services, and corporate functions. Its culture generally emphasizes genuine care, professionalism, teamwork, guest satisfaction, ethical conduct, and continuous learning. A Manila-based Sales Manager would support commercial growth by representing the brand to business, travel, events, and leisure customers while helping deliver strong occupancy and revenue performance.
The Philippines offers career opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, tourism, business services, technology, healthcare, and education. Manila is the main commercial center, while Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other islands provide strong tourism employment. Filipino culture is welcoming, family oriented, community minded, and influenced by Malay, Spanish, American, and Asian traditions. Life can be sociable and affordable, although Manila has heavy traffic and a fast-paced urban lifestyle. Outside the capital, beaches, diving, nature, and a slower pace are major attractions. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and an appropriate visa, commonly arranged through the Bureau of Immigration; requirements depend on nationality and contract. Relocating candidates should confirm sponsorship, medical checks, taxation, accommodation, insurance, and dependants’ visa arrangements before accepting an offer. English is widely used professionally, and learning basic Filipino phrases can help with everyday integration.
