The Senior Events Manager is expected to plan, sell, coordinate and deliver conferences, weddings, corporate functions and other events to Shangri-La standards. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, business or a related field, several years of hotel banqueting or events experience, strong client-management and negotiation skills, and excellent spoken and written English. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, highly organized and confident managing budgets, proposals, contracts, suppliers and operational teams. The role also requires flexibility, attention to detail, the ability to handle several events at once, and a polished, guest-focused approach while meeting revenue and customer-satisfaction targets.
Shangri-La is a globally recognized luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, operating hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other international markets. Its properties are known for warm Asian hospitality, high service standards, comfortable accommodation, extensive dining options and professional meeting and event facilities. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties including Shangri-La The Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Manila, and Shangri-La Mactan, Cebu Resort & Spa. The company offers careers across hotel operations, food and beverage, sales, events, finance and guest services. Employees are generally expected to demonstrate courtesy, teamwork, discretion, commercial awareness and a strong commitment to creating memorable guest experiences.
The Philippines offers hotel and events opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao and other tourism centers. Manila provides the largest corporate-events market, while island destinations focus more on resorts, weddings, conferences and leisure tourism. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented and strongly influenced by hospitality, with English widely used in business and hotels. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to relaxed coastal communities; costs are usually lower than in major Western cities, although Manila rents can be significant. Foreign workers normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged with support from the hiring company. Candidates should confirm the role's location, accommodation, transport, medical coverage and relocation assistance before accepting. The dry season is generally more comfortable for travel, while typhoons can affect some regions during the wet season.
