The Events Manager plans, coordinates and delivers conferences, weddings, banquets and other functions from initial enquiry through completion. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, tourism, business or a related field, together with several years of hotel events, catering or sales experience. Strong organization, budgeting, negotiation and communication skills are essential, as is confidence working with clients, suppliers and operational departments. The successful candidate is expected to manage multiple priorities, achieve revenue targets, maintain Shangri-La service standards and remain calm during busy events. Flexibility for weekends, evenings and holidays, excellent attention to detail, professional presentation and practical knowledge of event software and Microsoft Office are also expected.
Shangri-La is an international luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other markets. The company is recognized for warm Asian hospitality, thoughtful service and high standards in accommodation, dining, wellness and meetings. Its Philippine properties include major city and resort destinations, serving leisure travelers, corporate clients, wedding parties and large events. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, colleague development, teamwork and responsible business practices. Depending on the property, employees may receive service-charge distributions, meals, uniforms, medical coverage, training and opportunities to move within the wider group. An Events Manager normally works closely with sales, banquet, culinary, front office and finance teams to create successful functions while protecting the brand’s premium guest experience.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Bohol and other resort areas, particularly in events, food and beverage, front office, housekeeping and tourism sales. Life varies by island: Manila is fast-paced and business-oriented, while resort locations offer beaches, outdoor activities and a slower rhythm, though transport and supplies can be less convenient. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-centered and community-minded; English is widely used in hotels and business. Salaries are generally lower than in many Western countries, but benefits and service charges can improve total earnings. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, with the company assisting through the Bureau of Immigration; working before authorization is not permitted. Relocation planning should include accommodation, health insurance, banking, local transport and rainy-season considerations. Research the specific property, housing costs and island connectivity before accepting an offer.
