The Indiana Convention Center, a significant venue managed within Sodexo's extensive portfolio, is currently seeking a dedicated and skilled Banquet Supervisor. This is a full-time role offering a competitive wage ranging between $22 and $25 per hour. The working schedule involves varying shifts and days with open availability preferred, allowing flexibility but also demanding reliable presence during scheduled hours. The Banquet Supervisor will serve as a vital leadership presence on-site, overseeing banquet and catered event operations to ensure all events meet the high standards expected by Sodexo and its clients.

As a Banquet Supervisor, the individual will hold responsibility above the Banquet Captain level, providing supervision and coordination among event teams. This role requires overseeing Banquet Captains and Banquet Servers to guarantee that every detail of an event conforms to the predefined Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), service standards, and client expectations. The role demands a strong emphasis on operational readiness, effective staffing, flawless service execution, and prompt resolution of issues that might arise during events.

The Banquet Supervisor is instrumental in ensuring the entire event lifecycle runs smoothly, including preparation, setup, service, breakdown, and cleanup. Safety and sanitation protocols are paramount, with adherence to regulatory standards and internal policies required to maintain an excellent guest experience. The position also involves adaptability to account-specific duties based on differing business needs or client requests, highlighting the dynamic and versatile nature of the job. This opportunity provides an excellent gateway for hospitality professionals who are passionate about delivering exceptional service, leading teams, and thriving in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.

This role is ideal for those with prior supervisory experience in banquet or event operations who are looking to advance their careers within a globally recognized company committed to employee development, inclusion, and well-being.
