Job Description

Boca By Design is a premium event décor and design company affiliated with a five-star resort, renowned for its exceptional service and attention to detail. The company specializes in providing bespoke décor arrangements tailored to various event needs including linens, entertainment, chairs, plants, lighting, floral decorations, and thematic ideas. These services are offered both on the resort premises—in public areas, outlets, and banquet facilities—and at off-site locations, catering primarily to social events and enhancing the guest experience. Boca By Design takes pride in delivering high-caliber event solutions that combine artistic design with logistical excellence to create memorable occasions for clients.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic team dedicated to the sales and management of décor services for individual guests and business clients alike. The ideal candidate will play a pivotal role in promoting and designing unique event décor, managing vendor relationships, and ensuring seamless installation and execution of events. Responsibilities involve interfacing with clients to understand their vision, writing proposals, and leading installations to guarantee that all elements of the event meet exacting standards. This position requires strong creativity paired with excellent organizational and communication skills to coordinate between internal production teams and external vendors.

The candidate will also handle activities and tours coordination, serving as a key liaison to ensure clients fully benefit from the resort's offerings. This includes booking entertainment, participating in site visits, and maintaining timely responses to client inquiries. The position demands a team-player attitude contributing to a culture of excellence anchored in PRIDE/CARE service standards, a hallmark of Boca By Design's commitment to quality and guest satisfaction.

The role reports directly to the Director of Sales and Operations and requires collaboration with production installation crews, floral designers, social coordinators, and other department managers.

The ability to forecast and secure future business opportunities while fostering new client leads is also a critical aspect of the role.
