These events can range from 50 to 2,000+ attendees with a focus on providing spaces where our teams can be productive, learn and share new ideas or celebrate past accomplishments. You will have an impact across the entire company as you build this role from the ground up with support from the group head. This will include creating sustainable processes and procedures for our teams to ensure their meetings are successful.

- Someone who maintains a professional, flexible "can do" level of service
- Someone who has experience with Hotel Room Blocks, Food & Beverage, Audio Visual and Decor
