You job prospects in Shanghai will depend on your field of work, expertise, etc. While Shanghai has traditionally been a great destination for expats to find work with excellent packages for expats. Companies are now looking to hire expats only in highly-skilled positions, when they can't source someone from the local Chinese labour pool.
A knowledge of Mandarin is useful, especially for the less skilled positions. It might be worth taking a course before moving to Shanghai to improve your language skills. In most international business environments though, speaking English will be fine.
