Guest Experience & Events Manager Rooted Oaks Ranch | Full-Time | On-Site

ABOUT ROOTED OAKS RANCH

Rooted Oaks Ranch is a premier wellness, equine therapy and experiential retreat setting offering immersive retreats, workshops, and clinical intensives for discerning guests. We are not a hotel. We are not a conference center. We are a living, breathing experience and every detail matters.

Our guests arrive knowing what to expect and trusting us to deliver something extraordinary. Your job is to make sure we keep that promise.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Guest Experience & Events Manager who understands that luxury is not about excess it's about precision, warmth, and anticipating what someone needs before they know they need it.

You will own the end-to-end guest journey for every retreat, workshop, and intensive held at Rooted Oaks: from pre-arrival coordination to final departure. You will lead a small on-site hospitality team and personally ensure that every guest feels welcomed, seen, and cared for from the moment they arrive.

This is a hands-on, relationship-first role. You will be present. You will be the face of the experience.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Pre-Event Execution

  • Coordinate with program leads to fully understand the vision, schedule, and guest needs for each event
  • Manage pre-arrival communications: confirmations, arrival windows, dietary needs, room assignments, and logistics
  • Prepare the property rooms, common spaces, welcome amenities to the standard of a boutique luxury resort
  • Brief and prepare support staff for each guest cohort
On-Site Guest Experience

  • Greet every guest personally upon arrival
  • Oversee bag handling, room delivery, and initial property orientation
  • Welcome each guest into the main house, offer refreshment, and provide a warm, unhurried introduction to the property
  • Anticipate needs throughout the stay quiet check-ins, room touches, dietary accommodations, schedule reminders
  • Handle any issues that arise with discretion, calm, and care
Event Coordination

  • Serve as the operational point of contact for all retreat and workshop logistics
  • Coordinate room turnovers, meal timing, transportation, and activity flow with internal teams
  • Maintain a master run-of-show for every event and adapt in real time when needed
  • Debrief after each event and implement improvements
Team & Vendor Oversight

  • Lead and schedule on-site hospitality staff (guest reception, housekeeping support, F&B coordination)
  • Manage vendor relationships relevant to guest experience (linens, florals, specialty provisions, transportation)
  • Uphold and help develop property standards and SOPs
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR


Must-Haves

  • Comfort working weekends and event days (schedule varies seasonally)
  • Willingness to be on-property during active retreat weekends
Nice-to-Haves

  • Performance incentives based on guest satisfaction and event execution
  • On-site meals provided during active retreat weekends
  • A one-of-a-kind work environment no two events are the same
