Training & Development Manager
Located 90 minutes outside of DC, an award winning travel destination seeks a dynamic, polished, and high-energy Training & Development Manager to lead the educational heartbeat of their rooms and F&B programs.

- Set the Standard: Act as the property champion for Forbes and Michelin standards, aiming for audit scores of 95% or higher.
- Strategic Growth: Conduct annual needs assessments to build a property-wide training calendar that aligns with annual business goals.
- Create Content: Develop high-end multimedia visual aids and presentations for classroom and "on-the-job" training sessions.
- Leadership Coaching: Assist department managers in writing experience-based development plans and setting annual performance targets.
Who You Are
- Experienced: You have 3+ years of managerial experience, preferably within a luxury HR or Training environment.
- Polished: You possess a professional demeanor and the ability to maintain total discretion and diplomacy.
- Expert Communicator: You are a gifted public speaker who can simplify complex service philosophies into actionable training.
- Tech-Savvy: Proficient in Microsoft Suite and modern HRIS platforms.
- Preferred: Multi Lingual. Preference for Spanish and English. Prior experience with Forbes Standards, Relais & Châteaux, or Michelin-rated operations is highly desirable.
