The South Florida Collection—comprising Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at The Surf Club, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, and Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Miami—is seeking a Senior Director of Reservations to lead and innovate within our Reservations Cluster Sales Call Center in Palm Beach, Florida.

Currently, the Reservations Call Center manages bookings for three of the four properties in the collection: Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, and Four Seasons Hotel and Residences at The Surf Club. However, this role may extend its services to additional properties in the future.

This is not just a reservations role—it’s an opportunity to drive total business generation and guest experience planning across multiple world-class properties.

• Drive ongoing training and development for the ResComm team, covering Rooms, Food & Beverage, Spa, and all property-specific details.
• Oversee reservations for group bookings, ensuring contract obligations, billing, and communication with stakeholders are managed flawlessly.
• Ensure compliance with Four Seasons Agency Partner Programs and oversee all OTA reservation systems, maintaining rate parity.
• Monitor and analyze call volume (ACD) and abandonment reports, taking swift action when necessary.
• Support the Revenue Management Team, assisting with OTB reporting, rate code management, and conversion analysis.
• Lead monthly ResComm meetings and facilitate coaching sessions for ResComm leaders, ensuring continuous improvement and performance development.
• Drive standards testing and third-party call testing programs, ensuring service delivery remains at the highest level.
• Participate in yield and forecast meetings, contributing strategic insights to Sales & Marketing.
• Ensure timely completion of all operational tasks, including FS Chats, emails, wake-up calls, and special guest requests.
• Administer and oversee the ResComm staff incentive program, recognizing and rewarding top performance.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• A proven leader with strong people management skills—someone who can lead a multi-manager, multi-department team with confidence and finesse.
• A dynamic, strategic thinker who thrives on challenging the status quo, improving systems, and driving business success.
• An innovative problem solver with the ability to analyze data, processes, and guest interactions, transforming insights into action.
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills, capable of fostering collaboration across multiple departments and properties.
• A passion for hospitality, sales with a guest-first mindset, ensuring that each interaction reflects Four Seasons' unparalleled commitment to service excellence.
