The Director of Events Management leads the planning, sales, coordination, and delivery of conferences, weddings, meetings, and other hotel events. The role typically requires a degree in hospitality, business, events management, or a related field, along with substantial experience in luxury hotels or large-scale event operations. Strong knowledge of banquet operations, budgeting, contracts, client relations, and event technology is expected. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, highly organised, confident in negotiations, and comfortable managing teams and multiple events under pressure. Excellent English communication, presentation, problem-solving, and leadership skills are essential. Experience in the Philippine hospitality market and familiarity with Shangri-La service standards would be advantageous.
Shangri-La Group is a Hong Kong-founded luxury hospitality company operating hotels, resorts, and related businesses across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and other international markets. Its properties are known for personalised service, elegant surroundings, strong food and beverage operations, and a focus on creating memorable guest experiences. In the Philippines, Shangri-La operates prominent properties in destinations such as Manila, Cebu, and Boracay. The company employs people across hotel operations, culinary services, events, sales, wellness, engineering, and corporate functions. Shangri-La generally looks for team members who demonstrate professionalism, cultural awareness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality. Employees may receive structured training, career development opportunities, staff benefits, and exposure to international service standards. Exact benefits and working conditions vary by property, employment contract, and local regulations.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol, and other major tourism destinations. Hotels and resorts commonly recruit professionals in events, food and beverage, rooms, sales, engineering, wellness, and guest services. Life varies by island: Manila is busy and urban, Cebu combines city living with beaches, while Boracay and Palawan offer a more relaxed resort lifestyle. Filipino culture is warm, family-oriented, English-friendly, and strongly influenced by regional traditions, festivals, and excellent food. Living costs are generally lower than in many international luxury-tourism markets, although island resorts can be expensive and less convenient for shopping or healthcare. Foreign employees normally need employer sponsorship, an Alien Employment Permit, and an appropriate work visa, commonly a 9(g) pre-arranged employee visa. Confirm requirements with the employer and Philippine immigration authorities before relocating.
