Who are we?

Club Med was founded in 1950 on the idea that the purpose of life is to be happy. The place to be happy is here. The moment to be happy is now. Since then, our mission has been to create moments of happiness every day and share them with our guests, in nearly 70 Premium and Exclusive Collection Resorts located in the most beautiful destinations in the world. To create these moments of happiness, we have something others don’t: the Club Med Spirit and our five values — kindness, multiculturalism, responsibility, freedom, and a pioneering spirit. Today, Club Med is the world leader in premium all-inclusive vacations. We are more than 25,000 Gentle Organizers (G.O) and Gentle Employees (G.E) from over 110 nationalities and cultures, working in Resorts, offices, and agencies across more than 40 countries.

Your work environment

Each Resort features several restaurants and bars — from large event spaces to more intimate venues — serving our premium all-inclusive offer. Our bars and dining spaces are vibrant hubs for guest and staff interaction, creating the rhythm for each highlight of the day. From themed evenings to festive events, you will work in a diverse, multi-faceted environment where your creativity can flourish. Our refined offer is built on five pillars: creating memorable experiences, surprising guests with a variety of conceptual spaces, promoting well-being for all (including your own), and engaging emotions and senses through design and atmosphere.

You are

• Responsible, with the experience and skills needed to manage a team of managers.
• Organized and meticulous, attentive to detail, capable of handling conflicts with initiative and adaptability.
• Business-oriented, with a strong focus on cost control and sales performance.

You will

• Guarantee the quality of all Food & Beverage services, ensuring proper setup and strict adherence to standards in kitchens, bars, restaurants, and all related services.
• Ensure the client offer meets expectations: personalization, handling complaints, and adapting to guest needs.
• Convert budget objectives into actionable plans to achieve set targets.
• Manage and lead a team of approximately 150 employees to maximize development, training, and achieve both qualitative and quantitative results.
• Ensure compliance with legal and commercial frameworks for Resort sales, as well as strict application of hygiene and safety regulations.

You will be a Gentle Organizer (G.O)

As a G.O, you will carry out your profession with passion while also participating in key moments of our guests’ stay. Whether interacting with them, joining an activity, or showcasing your talents on stage, you will help create unforgettable memories.
