Job Description

Marriott International is a globally recognized leader in the hospitality industry, committed to providing exceptional experiences to guests through its diverse portfolio of brands. Among these, the Autograph Collection stands out as a curated group of independent 4- and 5-star hotels known for their unique character, quality, and originality. Each property within the Autograph Collection offers memorable and distinct experiences tailored to the modern traveler, attracting guests who seek personalized adventures and meaningful stays. Marriott promotes a culture of inclusivity, diversity, and equal opportunity, ensuring all employees feel welcomed and valued. Their commitment extends to non-discrimination policies and accessible employment practices.

The role of Guest Event Expert at the Autograph Collection in St. Petersburg, Florida, is a part-time, non-management position within the Food and Beverage and Culinary category. The position is based on-site and involves direct interaction with guests during various events and banquets. More than mere service, this role is dedicated to creating a uniquely memorable experience for each guest by ensuring all event components are executed flawlessly from start to finish. This includes preparation and selection of materials, transporting items, taking orders, guest interaction, and other related tasks. The Guest Event Expert forms a critical part of the event experience by making each transaction seamless and professional.

Candidates for this role are expected to contribute to a safe and efficient work environment by adhering to company guidelines and maintaining high-quality standards. Personal appearance, communication, and professionalism are highly emphasized as part of the brand's reputation. Physically, the role demands stamina and the ability to perform various movements such as standing, walking for extended periods, as well as moving, lifting, carrying, pushing, and placing objects weighing less than 25 pounds without assistance. These duties are essential to both guest satisfaction and the smooth operation of the hotel.

The ideal candidate should possess a high school diploma or equivalent certificate such as a General Educational Development (GED) credential. While less than one year of related work experience is acceptable, no prior supervisory experience or special certifications are required. The Autograph Collection values potential and attitude, providing a supportive environment for learning and growth within the Marriott family. By joining this team, employees become part of a global network dedicated to hospitality excellence and personal development. They will have the opportunity to perform their best work, fulfill their purpose, and become their best versions through comprehensive teamwork and career opportunities.
