ABOUT LITTLE PALM ISLAND:
Personal by Nature
Accessible only by sea or sky, Little Palm Island is a MICHELIN Three-Key private island resort where time slows and stillness returns. The island is home to 30 thatched-roof bungalow suites, a tranquil spa, curated boutique and distinct fine-dining experiences overlooking the Atlantic, offering guests a sanctuary to disconnect in privacy and simply be. We invite you to join a resort culture that practices hospitality as a craft, guided by clear standards, thoughtful collaboration and genuine human connection to ensure every guest experience feels personal and true to place.
WHY PROPERTY PRESENCE MATTERS IN THIS ROLE:
Given the scope of this position — spanning event sales, live execution of intimate and group events, restaurant event coordination, and day-of oversight of large parties — an on-property presence at Little Palm Island is essential, not optional.
• Immediate presence for site inspections, pre-conference meetings, and client walk-throughs — critical for luxury, high-touch guest expectations.
• Direct oversight of event and restaurant execution, rather than relying on second-hand updates from operational teams.
• Faster response times for in-progress events, vendor issues, and guest requests that arise on property.
• Stronger day-to-day relationships with the restaurant and culinary teams, which is foundational to building out the social catering and restaurant events segment.
QUALIFICATIONS:
• Minimum 2 years of experience in luxury catering sales, wedding sales, conference services, or event management.
• Exceptional organizational and communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Working knowledge of food and beverage operations, banquet service, restaurant operations, and event planning.
• Experience working in a luxury resort or hospitality environment preferred.
• Must be based on property at Little Palm Island; ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as required by event schedules.
Success Measures
• Achievement of annual revenue goals for proposals, elopements, weddings up to 12 guests, and large parties.
• Guest satisfaction scores and client feedback.
• Upsell conversion performance.
• Accuracy of event documentation and billing.
• Seamless on-site execution of group programs, intimate celebrations, restaurant events, and large parties.
• Growth of the social catering and restaurant events segment.
• Positive collaboration with operational departments.
