GUEST EXPERIENCE SUPERVISOR (HOSPITALITY)

Role Description

Brief Description

The Guest Experience Supervisor at Sandals Church Hunter Park is a hospitality specialist who leads, trains, and inspires the volunteer Guest Services team to deliver an excellent, Christ-centered weekend experience that moves guests to want to connect. This role personally owns execution of the Relational Intake Framework at the front door and partners closely with the Connections Team to ensure guests move smoothly from “the Handshake” into “the Pathway.”

VISION, MISSION, AND CONTEXT

  • Vision: To be real with ourselves, God, and others.
  • Mission: To love God, love people, and live on mission.
  • Contextual Task: To reach the lost and raise up a spiritual family.

Reports To

  • Campus Manager, Hunter Park Campus

Direct Reports

  • Guest Experience Associate

Primary Objective

To build and lead a healthy, high-energy volunteer Guest Services team that delivers an excellent first impression every weekend, and to own the front-door intake process that connects guests to the right next step — information, exploration, or belonging.

Volunteer Team Leadership & Culture

  • Recruit, train, cross-train, and develop healthy, high-energy volunteer teams across parking, greeters, ushers, café, and the info booth.
  • Identify, develop, and empower team leads to provide leadership and support within each ministry area.
  • Build relationships with volunteers through scheduling support, care, and meaningful growth opportunities.
  • Foster a culture of excellence and hospitality that helps every guest feel welcomed and encouraged to take a next step.

Guest Experience & the Relational Intake Framework

  • Own execution of “the Handshake”: train info booth volunteers to hold low-pressure, conversational intake using the three-tier framework and supporting tools (iPad terminals, cards, digital forms).
  • Ensure accurate, low-pressure capture and routing of guest tier selections into the ChMS and to the Connections Team.
  • Partner with the Connections Team to monitor front-door-to-back-door health metrics and flag retention concerns (for example, Tier 3 attrition).
  • Ensure all lobby and ministry spaces are prepared, welcoming, and guest-ready for every service.

Weekend & Major Event Execution

  • Co-own OneServe and Check-in strategy for major weekends (Easter, Christmas) with the Campus Manager, designing and executing the guest-facing welcome experience.
  • Lead pre- and post-service huddles for the Guest Services team; report status and issues into the Campus Supervisor's campus-wide Sunday huddle.
  • Coordinate team appreciation for Guest Services volunteers during major weekends.

Metrics, Systems & Continuous Improvement

  • Monitor team and guest-experience metrics (CCB, Martus, Google Workspace) to evaluate effectiveness and drive healthy growth.
  • Use data to continuously refine training, staffing, and the guest journey.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Lead and develop the Guest Experience Associate.
  • Collaborate with the Connections Team, central teams, and other ministry leaders to plan and execute exceptional weekend services and special events.

SPIRITUAL & CULTURAL EXPECTATIONS

  • Maintains a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and a consistent devotional life.
  • Models the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) in character and leadership.
  • Protects the unity of the church and embodies humility, integrity, and authenticity.
  • Fully embraces and represents the Sandals Church Culture Stack in leadership and personal conduct.
  • Engaged in Discipleship.

2026 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This role is a direct lever on two of the three 2026 priorities: hospitality quality shapes whether new Saturday night guests return (Priority 1), and the Relational Intake Framework's Tier 2/3 hand-off is a literal front door into the discipleship pipeline (Priority 3).

  • Priority 1: Build a new Saturday night service experience to reach the lost (Attendance Goal: 1,000).
  • Priority 2: Raise up the NextGen (Kids/Students) to an attendance of 950.
  • Priority 3: Become disciple-makers as a church staff (Goal: 110 active discipleship groups and 20% of congregation in a group—1,000 people).
