Manager of Entertainment Jobs

A Manager of Entertainment in the hospitality industry is primarily responsible for planning, organizing, and overseeing all entertainment aspects within a hospitality establishment like resorts, hotels, or cruise ships. They are responsible for ensuring guests have a memorable experience through curated entertainment activities. This includes scheduling events, hiring performers, negotiating contracts, managing budgets, and collaborating with other departments to ensure smooth operations. They ensure all entertainment activities comply with local laws and regulations and meet the establishment's standards. They also monitor guest satisfaction and make necessary improvements based on feedback.

Key skills required for this role include strong leadership and organizational skills, excellent communication and negotiation skills, attention to detail, and a creative mindset. A deep understanding of the entertainment industry and guest expectations is also crucial. While a degree in hospitality management, event management or a related field is beneficial, it is not always required. However, some employers might look for certifications such as Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) or Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP). Typical roles before becoming a Manager of Entertainment can include Event Coordinator, Entertainment Coordinator, or Program Director.
