Job Description

Marriott International is a globally recognized leader in the hospitality industry, known for its commitment to excellence and distinctive guest experiences. Among its diverse portfolio of brands, the Autograph Collection stands out as a group of independent 4 and 5-star hotels that emphasizes originality, uniqueness, and memorable stays tailored to adventurous and discerning travelers. Located in St. Petersburg, Florida, this particular role sits within this prestigious collection, which appeals to the Individualist traveler – someone who seeks to enrich their personal journey through exceptional travel experiences. Plus, being part of Marriott International means joining a global community dedicated to inclusivity, diversity, and creating environments where everyone feels welcomed and valued.

This position is a part-time, non-management role within the Food and Beverage & Culinary category. As a Guest Events Expert, the role goes beyond simply serving guests at banquets or events. It fundamentally centers on crafting unique and memorable experiences that guests will cherish. The Guest Events Expert is trained across a broad range of event execution functions, ensuring that events run flawlessly from start to finish. Whether preparing or selecting materials, transporting items, taking orders, interacting with guests, or executing other tasks, every action performed contributes to the overall guest experience.

Success in this role requires dedication to creating a safe workspace, adhering strictly to company guidelines and procedures, maintaining quality standards, and upholding a professional appearance and communication style. The role is physically active; experts are frequently on their feet, moving around, and engaging in tasks such as lifting, carrying, pushing, and placing objects weighing less than 25 pounds. Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to performing all assigned duties accurately are essential to ensuring guest satisfaction and smooth hotel operations.

Beyond the practicalities of the role, Marriott International fosters a culture of respect, inclusivity, and opportunity for all team members. The company actively promotes diversity and does not discriminate based on disability, veteran status, or other protected characteristics. This supportive environment empowers associates to reach their fullest potential and grow professionally within the global Marriott family.

By joining the Autograph Collection, professionals become part of a curated set of properties recognized for quality, bold character, and the ability to offer guests travel experiences that are much more than just a place to rest. Associates contribute to a portfolio that values individual styles and adventurous spirits, making every guest interaction a chance to create lasting memories. This role is perfect for those who thrive in fast-paced, customer-focused hospitality settings and who want to play an integral part in delivering unparalleled event services, all while developing their own skills and career within a globally respected hospitality brand.
