Outbound Sedona | Opening May 7, 2026
Sedona isn't a typical meeting destination — and Outbound Sedona isn't a typical hotel. We're building something different here: a group-friendly basecamp where corporate retreats feel less like conferences and more like turning points. If you're a hospitality professional who believes great events are more than logistics — that they're experiences — we want you helping lead the charge from day one.

THE ROLE The Catering & Conference Services Manager is the connective tissue between our clients and every department in the building. You own the guest experience from the moment a group is confirmed through the final checkout — managing all event details, leading the planning process, and ensuring seamless execution across every touchpoint. This is a client-facing, detail-driven, high-ownership role that requires both strategic thinking and hands-on follow-through.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Client & Event Management
· Serve as the primary point of contact for confirmed group and catering clients, guiding them from contract through execution
· Conduct detailed planning meetings and site inspections to understand client vision, objectives, and event requirements
· Develop and distribute Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), group resumes, and all event documentation with accuracy and timeliness
· Personally greet group contacts upon arrival, orient them to the property, and remain accessible throughout their event
· Proactively identify upsell opportunities — enhancements, upgraded menus, added experiences — to maximize revenue while elevating the client experience
· Manage dietary requirements, special requests, and event-specific details with care and precision
Planning & Coordination
· Act as the primary liaison between clients and all operating departments — Culinary, Banquets, Front Office, Housekeeping, Recreation, and AV
· Lead weekly BEO and resume review meetings, ensuring all departments are aligned and prepared
· Coordinate third-party vendors including AV providers, décor, transportation, and specialty experience partners
· Develop and manage event diagrams, timelines, group agendas, and run-of-show documents
Sales Support & Business Development
· Produce proposals and catering contracts for new business, in-conjunction events, and stand-alone catering inquiries
· Support the Sales team with site inspections, RFP responses, and prospecting for local and social catering business
· Maintain awareness of competitive landscape, market trends, and seasonal demand to inform catering strategy
· Assist in developing and executing against monthly and quarterly catering revenue goals
Operations & Administration
· Maintain complete and accurate client files, event records, and account data in Delphi (experience highly preferred) and HMS
· Support post-event follow-up, including billing reconciliation, client feedback, and rebooking conversations
WHAT YOU BRING
· 3+ years of experience in Catering, Conference Services, or Event Management within a hotel or resort environment
· Proficiency in Delphi is highly preferred; experience with HMS or comparable CRM a plus
· Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office Suite
· Exceptional written and verbal communication skills — you can present to a C-suite and also rally a banquet team
· A proactive, solutions-first approach and the ability to stay calm and creative under pressure
· Deep attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple events and deadlines simultaneously
· A genuine passion for hospitality and creating experiences that people remember
