The Director of Events Management leads the planning, sales, coordination, and delivery of conferences, weddings, banquets, and other functions at Shangri-La in the Philippines. Candidates typically need a degree in hospitality, business, or a related field, along with substantial experience managing events in an upscale hotel or resort. Strong leadership, budgeting, negotiation, client-service, and communication skills are essential. The role expects the successful candidate to grow event revenue, maintain strong relationships with corporate and private clients, coordinate effectively with hotel departments, uphold Shangri-La service standards, and ensure every event is delivered safely, smoothly, and profitably.

Its Philippine properties are known for high-quality accommodation, restaurants, meetings, weddings, leisure facilities, and attentive guest service. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on warm Asian hospitality, professional development, operational excellence, and memorable experiences for guests and event clients. Depending on the property, employees may work with international visitors, major corporations, wedding planners, destination-event organizers, and local communities. The company generally offers structured hotel operations, employee benefits, training opportunities, and career mobility across its global portfolio. Exact duties, benefits, and working conditions vary by property and employment contract.
The Philippines offers hotel and event opportunities in Metro Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao, and other resort destinations. Roles range from luxury hotel management and event sales to food and beverage, tourism, and conference operations. Filipino culture is welcoming, family-oriented, and community minded, with English widely used in business and hospitality. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living in Manila to a more relaxed beach-oriented pace in Cebu, Boracay, or Palawan. Costs are generally lower than in many international hotel markets, although central Manila and popular resorts can be expensive. Foreign hires normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa; requirements should be confirmed with the Philippine Bureau of Immigration. Relocating candidates should arrange verified accommodation, health insurance, tax registration, and local banking. Weather is tropical, with a rainy season and occasional typhoons, so regional conditions should be considered.
