- Manage financial performance: Oversee budgets, forecasting, and cost reporting while optimizing staffing, space usage, and resource allocation
- Champion company culture: Foster a diverse, high-performing team by integrating Hilton’s values into all event initiatives, creating a guest- and team member-centric environment, and leading with direct, meaningful engagement
