The Restaurants, Nightlife, and Food & Beverage Senior Marketing Manager is a key strategist and storyteller, driving the marketing vision for our diverse portfolio of bars, restaurants, and F&B experiences across Starwood Hotels—including 1 Hotels, Baccarat Hotels, and Treehouse Hotels.

• Experience with email marketing and CRM tools to drive guest engagement and retention.
• Passion for culinary, mixology, nightlife, sustainability, and hospitality trends with a deep understanding of guest behavior and market dynamics.
• Experience leading creative teams, agencies, and external partners to ensure high-quality execution.
• Exceptional project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Brand Strategy & Concept Development – Assist in shaping the positioning, visual identity, and storytelling for new F&B venues, ensuring they establish unique identities while staying aligned with hotel brands.
• Integrated Marketing Execution – Support the development and implementation of marketing strategies for new concepts that differentiate the venue, enhance brand affinity, and drive guest engagement.
• Social Media & Content – Assist in shaping social strategy, contribute to content development, support content calendar execution, and help track KPIs.
• PR & Media Relations – Work closely with PR teams to coordinate media coverage and strategic brand partnerships.
• Digital Optimization – Support digital audits and optimizations to enhance visibility, SEO, and online reputation across all digital platforms.
• Campaigns & Experiential Marketing – Assist in executing seasonal promotions, special events, and exclusive F&B experiences that create buzz and drive revenue.
• Guest Journey Program – Contribute to the development and execution of our F&B guest journey program, ensuring a seamless, personalized, and memorable experience at every touchpoint.
• Performance Analysis – Gather and analyze data to provide insights that help refine marketing strategies and optimize impact.
• Cross-functional Collaboration – Work closely with hotel marketing and F&B teams to ensure seamless alignment between brand objectives and on-property initiatives.
