THE ROLE

Lead our Guest Experience Guides — a team handling thousands of monthly touchpoints across phone, email, chat, and text. Run it as a guest success center, a revenue center, and a curator's studio all at once.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

1. Lead the Team

• Lead, manage, and hold the team accountable
• Hire, develop, and retain Guest Experience Guides to a defined "raver" profile
• Run the weekly team L10, own scorecards, and performance manage with care
• Define goals, training, and operational processes for a best-in-class guest success team

2. Run the Guest Success Center

• Manage thousands of monthly touchpoints across phone, email, chat, and text — no dropped guests, leads, or dollars
• Own staffing, queue management, response times, and channel strategy
• Act as the Zendesk SME — workflows, reporting, and more
• Drive innovation in tools, tech, and service models that scale with growth

3. Drive Revenue

• Hit monthly targets
• Identify selling, upselling, and cross-selling opportunities — rooms, spa, classes, F&B, retail, packages
• Build closing skills and train the team in the power of soft selling
• Treat every touchpoint as a revenue moment without it ever feeling transactional

4. Curate Intentional Stays

• Champion guest happiness pre-arrival — treat guests as human beings, not numbers
• Drive customer loyalty and healthy guest sentiment scores
• Make every Guide a walking encyclopedia of CIVANA — classes, healers, treatments, rooms, dining, journeys
• Build the knowledge systems (playbooks, training, certifications, content library) that power curated stays

5. Be the Voice of the Guest

• Develop, monitor, and report on KPIs against satisfaction, quality, and revenue goals
• Bring guest insight and conversion data into the weekly Marketing L10
• Collaborate with Design and Marketing to improve the pre-arrival journey
• Partner with Brand, Performance, Group Sales, and Delivery for a flawless handoff to property

WHO YOU ARE

• An operator and a humanist — equally at home coaching a tough call or rebuilding a Zendesk workflow
• A data lover who runs the business from dashboards and tells stories with numbers
• A closer who builds closers without crushing the soul of the work
• A guest fanatic who believes hospitality is about how you make someone feel, in addition to the technical steps of delivery

WHAT YOU BRING

• 5+ years leading customer success, contact center, reservations, or guest services — hospitality, wellness, luxury, or premium DTC preferred
• Proven track record running high-volume, multi-channel operations (10,000+ monthly touchpoints or comparable)
• Deep, hands-on Zendesk proficiency — able to act as company SME
• Demonstrated revenue ownership — closing, upselling, cross-selling, sales discipline
• Strong analytical chops — KPIs, scorecards, data-driven decisions
• Strong coaching and leadership skills
• Experience with cross-functional collaboration
• Genuine love for wellness, hospitality, and human connection
