Job Description

Marriott International stands as a hallmark of excellence in the hospitality industry, offering a vast portfolio of exceptional hotels and resorts worldwide. Among its esteemed brands, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts holds a special place as a global community where guests and associates come together to connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories. Established in 1937, Sheraton continues to embody a tradition of welcoming hospitality, delivering engaging services, and fostering a sense of belonging across more than 400 communities around the globe. Marriott International is deeply committed to fostering diversity and inclusion, ensuring that every associate is valued for their unique cultural backgrounds and talents. This commitment to equal opportunity strengthens the company’s reputation as a preferred employer in the food and beverage, culinary, and broader hospitality sectors.

The opportunity as a Guest Event Expert at Sheraton New Orleans, located at 500 Canal Street, Louisiana, combines the excitement of event facilitation with hands-on, guest-focused service. This part-time, non-management role operates on an hourly pay range starting at $6.34, with tips eligible, offering a rewarding career path for those eager to contribute to memorable guest experiences. The Guest Event Expert plays a crucial role in the full spectrum of event functions—whether setting up or breaking down event materials, transporting supplies, interacting warmly with guests, or managing orders. This role is crafted for individuals who take pride in not just serving but creating an event atmosphere that is seamless and unique.

This position demands agility, attention to detail, and a proactive approach in leadership-free teamwork environments. The Guest Event Expert is expected to uphold Marriott’s high standards, including maintaining a safe workplace, adhering to company policies, and ensuring professional appearance and communication. Physical endurance is essential, as the role involves standing, sitting, or walking for extended periods, along with the capability to lift and carry objects weighing up to 50 pounds without assistance. With an emphasis on hands-on involvement, this role promises a dynamic workday where every action and interaction contributes to the overarching goal of guest satisfaction and event excellence.

Marriott International nurtures career advancement opportunities, making this a perfect entry-level position for individuals seeking growth within the hospitality industry. The Sheraton brand’s dedication to inclusivity and development means employees are part of a supportive global team. Becoming a Guest Event Expert means joining a mission to create the world's gathering place, offering not just a job but a career where you belong, grow, and thrive.
