As Hospitality Manager, you'll report to the Director of Hospitality and own Embark's external client experience—anchored in events and measured through NPS. Embark events are anything but ordinary. From a multi-day executive retreat in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains to carefully curated client dinners, every event we produce is designed with intention. You'll be the one translating that intention into execution—with a sharp eye for detail and an instinct for the hospitality touches that make people feel genuinely taken care of.

Beyond the events themselves, you'll own the client NPS process—closing the loop on feedback, tracking satisfaction trends, and making sure every experience we create is deepening relationships and building the kind of client loyalty that drives Embark's growth.

• Track and report on event outcomes—feedback, satisfaction, NPS trends, and influenced ROI—to raise the bar on how Embark shows up for clients and demonstrate the business value events bring to Embark's growth
• Build service recovery protocols for when things don't go as planned; close the loop quickly and constructively
• Team and cross-functional leadership
• Partner with Sales and Marketing to align event strategy with business priorities and client relationships
• Lead by example—bringing clarity, warmth, and a genuine "how can I help" attitude to every interaction in a way that makes the hospitality team a go-to resource across the firm
