Scala event center
In October 2025, we are opening a state-of-the-art event center in Ghent: a stylish meeting place where business and festive moments come together in an atmosphere of class and refinement. For this unique location, we are looking for an Event Supervisor – someone who leads the event team, keeps oversight during busy moments, and acts as the point of contact for our guests. You are visibly present on the floor and ensure the flawless execution of every event.

Your responsibilities

• You are the first point of contact for guests during events, meetings, and dinners.
• You manage the team of waiters and ensure efficient collaboration.
• You maintain an overview during peak times and respond quickly to unexpected situations.
• You ensure a professional and welcoming atmosphere in the event spaces.
• You make sure the preparation and execution of events go according to plan.
• You coordinate with the kitchen, bar, and other teams for seamless service.

• You have proven experience in a leadership or coordinating role within hospitality or event organization.
• You are stress-resistant, organized, and thrive in a dynamic work environment.
• You are flexible – willing to work shifts between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., including weekends and public holidays.
• You are a born communicator who motivates colleagues and exceeds guest expectations.
• You have strong communication skills and speak fluent Dutch or English (additional languages are a plus!).
• You are looking for a full-time (38h) or at least 4/5 employment
  

What do we offer?

• A sustainable commitment via a permanent contract
• An attractive salary package, including:
  DKV hospitalization insurance
  Meal vouchers and eco vouchers
  Global employee discounts within Marriott International
• A flexible work schedule: we support a healthy work-life balance and adapt to one another. A non-traditional 9-to-5 schedule also has advantages – pick up your kids from school, go to that Tuesday workout class, or enjoy your free time while others are working.
• A unique start from the very beginning! Contribute to a high-profile opening where you can make an impact from day one.
• Room for growth via the Marriott training platform and on-the-job coaching
• An open and supportive company culture – we believe in teamwork, trust, and fun at work

About us
In a green oasis at a conveniently accessible location in Ghent, you'll find our unique hospitality hub: a collaboration between Courtyard by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, and Residence Inn by Marriott. Together, these three hotels form a vibrant place where hospitality, comfort, and experience take center stage. The hub includes a state-of-the-art event center and the refined Arno Ristorante, a Tuscan fine-dining restaurant.

The ultramodern event center is the new hotspot for meetings, trainings, celebrations, and social events. With 750 m² of stylish event space divided over 8 multifunctional rooms and surrounded by our three top hotels – together offering 405 rooms – we perfectly blend business and experience.

Arno Ristorante, located in the heart of the event center, brings the flavors of Tuscany to life in a warm, vibrant setting. With refined cuisine, a large selection of Brunellos, Super Tuscans, and surprising Negronis, it promises to become a new culinary destination.

Our location is easily accessible, wherever you're coming from. The event center and Arno are located at Akkerhage 2B, 9000 Ghent, right next to exit 9 (U.Z. Ghent) of the E17. Coming by car?
