The Director of Business Development is responsible for driving revenue growth through strategic partnerships, corporate accounts, group business, events, and new market opportunities. Candidates should have a degree in hospitality, business, marketing, or a related field, with substantial experience in hotel sales, business development, or commercial leadership. Strong knowledge of the Philippine hospitality market, an established business network, negotiation skills, and excellent communication are expected. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, target-driven, capable of leading or coordinating sales initiatives, and comfortable representing Shangri-La with corporate clients, travel partners, and local stakeholders. Flexibility, professionalism, and willingness to work with international guests and teams are essential.
Shangri-La is a luxury hospitality group founded in Asia and recognized internationally for its high service standards, distinctive properties, and warm Asian-inspired hospitality. The group operates hotels, resorts, and residences across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and other key destinations. In the Philippines, Shangri-La manages well-known properties in locations such as Manila, Cebu, and Boracay, serving business travelers, leisure guests, families, and major events. The company places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, colleague development, sustainability, and creating memorable experiences. Working for Shangri-La typically involves an international environment, structured operational standards, and opportunities to collaborate with teams across hotel departments and markets. Benefits may include meals, uniforms, training, healthcare, accommodation assistance, service charge, and other property-specific privileges, depending on the position and location.
The Philippines offers diverse opportunities in hospitality, tourism, sales, retail, technology, healthcare, and business services, especially in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and other resort destinations. Filipino culture is generally warm, family-oriented, welcoming, and English-friendly, with strong influences from Spanish, American, and Asian traditions. Island living can provide beaches, outdoor activities, affordable local food, and a relaxed lifestyle, although transport, weather, healthcare access, and internet quality vary by island. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly arranged through the company after an offer is accepted. Relocation planning should cover accommodation, health insurance, banking, tax registration, and transportation. Manila offers the broadest professional network, while Cebu and resort islands provide a more lifestyle-focused setting. Typhoons, humidity, and seasonal travel disruption should be considered when choosing a location and planning a move.
