The Events Manager is responsible for planning, selling and delivering conferences, weddings, banquets and other functions at Shangri-La. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, tourism, business or a related field, along with several years of hotel or event-management experience. Strong skills in client relations, budgeting, negotiation, scheduling and team coordination are expected. The successful candidate should be organised, commercially minded, guest-focused and comfortable managing multiple events under pressure. Excellent English communication, professional presentation, attention to detail and the ability to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends and holidays, are essential. Experience with luxury hotels, event systems and corporate or social functions is advantageous.
Shangri-La is a globally recognised luxury hospitality group founded in Hong Kong, with hotels, resorts and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other international markets. The group is known for personalised service, refined accommodation, high-quality dining and comprehensive meetings, events and wellness facilities. Its Philippine properties include major city and resort destinations, serving business travellers, leisure guests, wedding clients and corporate groups. Shangri-La places strong emphasis on warm Asian hospitality, service excellence, professional development and operational standards. Employees generally work in multicultural teams and are expected to provide attentive, polished service while protecting the brand’s reputation. Benefits and working conditions vary by property, role and employment contract, so candidates should confirm the exact package, service charge, accommodation arrangements and career opportunities directly with the recruiting hotel.
The Philippines offers hospitality opportunities in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, Davao and other island destinations, particularly in hotels, resorts, events, food and beverage, tourism and diving. Manila provides the broadest corporate and luxury-hotel market, while resort locations offer a more relaxed lifestyle but may have higher seasonal demand and fewer urban services. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented and community-focused, with English widely used in workplaces. Living costs vary considerably; accommodation and transport are generally more affordable outside central Manila. Foreign nationals usually need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly involving Department of Labor and Employment approval and an immigration work visa. Do not begin employment on a tourist status. Employers may assist with documentation, but applicants should verify requirements with Philippine authorities. Prepare for a tropical climate, rainy seasons, traffic in major cities and island travel involving ferries or domestic flights.
