The Marketing Executive supports Shangri-La’s marketing activities in the Philippines, helping develop campaigns, promotions, digital content, social media initiatives, partnerships, and communications that strengthen the hotel or resort’s market position.

Working in Philippines

The Philippines offers varied opportunities in hotels, resorts, tourism, marketing, retail, business services, and information technology, particularly in Manila, Cebu, Boracay, Palawan, and Davao. Work culture is generally friendly and relationship-oriented, with English widely used in professional settings. Life can range from busy urban living to a relaxed coastal lifestyle, with affordable local food, strong community ties, beaches, and outdoor activities. Foreign nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa before starting employment; requirements can change, so confirmation with the Bureau of Immigration and the employer is essential. Relocation costs depend greatly on the island, accommodation, and transport needs. Manila offers the broadest career market, while resort islands provide a slower pace but fewer services and more seasonal hiring. Candidates should review housing, healthcare, transport, weather, and local employment regulations before relocating.
