Do you like to be the go to person to make magic happen? Then maybe the role of Conference Services Manager is right for you. This role coordinates and executes all aspects of a meeting plan to ensure total client satisfaction including set up, meal functions, room reservations, group billing and any recreation arrangements. You are the liaison between the client and the hotel to ensure the function goes off without a hitch. As Conference Services Manager you will:
* See the Vision --- it is your job to ensure the smooth operation of business functions, following the BEO and communicating to the various departments at the hotel exactly what it is the meeting planner expects.
* Elevate the Vision -- use your experience, knowledge of your property's abilities and passion to elevate the guest experience and optimize the tools/space you have. Manage each aspect of the event. Ensure you are listening to the client regarding their needs/desires and then delivering.
* Have the Buck Stop with You -- if anything goes contrary to plan, take personal ownership, fixing what you can and meeting with the client "post-convention" to discuss the challenges encountered (and hopefully overcome).
* Be a Cheerleader --inspire the staff with your "can do" attitude so you are a role model for all to follow.
* Be a Safety & Security Agent -- follow your hotel's established safety and security policies & procedures. Anticipate problems and call management as needed.
