Just imagine the possibilities: a hotel in Amsterdam, with in-house and adjacent spaces for 15 to 1,200 guests. A unique opportunity for an Assistant Banqueting Manager to organize conferences, events, and meetings for guests from all over the world. At Mövenpick we make moments, do you?

Be limitless
Today’s agenda: a 15-person meeting, a 20-person lunch meeting, and a 30-person gathering. Just another day in the life of an Assistant Banqueting Manager. The F&B Manager scheduled your staff, arranged all the supplies, and ensured every detail is in place. Ready, set, go. The day kicks off and you’re everywhere you're needed. You help clear plates at the 20-person lunch, quickly train your external team members so they’re fully up to speed by the afternoon and find a suitable space for a last-minute meeting that wasn’t booked but definitely needed. No problem—you’ve got it all under control. There are no limits to your abilities. In addition, you will be:

• You work closely with both internal and external staff guiding the team and bringing out the best in everyone.
• You have a sharp eye for service quality and take proactive steps whenever there’s room for improvement in our performance scores.

Proud to present
Mövenpick: the place to enjoy life. Inside, we create a space for our guests to enjoy by relaxing at the bar with a delicious cocktail or a creamy cappuccino. In our restaurants, you can discover the most delicious special dishes. We are originally from Switzerland, and we carry this luxurious gastronomic hospitality with us. ‘Enjoying life to the fullest.’ That is our mantra for our guests, but also for you as an employee.

And you provide that experience with an international team in our beautiful 4-star hotel located in Amsterdam overlooking the river IJ. With a beautiful atmosphere in our team, we help each other during busy moments so everything runs smoothly. You will work in a hotel that works together with the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, a total combined conference space of over 1900 m2, including 11 modern and spacious conference and directors’ rooms. Through the emergence of ijVENUES, Amsterdam’s new exhibition centre, everything only becomes bigger and better. On a lovely, sunny day, you can choose between a 10-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle ride from the central station. Or you can hop on the tram from the other side of our hotel. In short: we have it all.

"Work hard, play hard" perfectly describes what it's like to work at Mövenpick. Working hard? Absolutely – and with teammates who are passionate about the job and about each other, every day at work feels like a celebration." – Operations Manager at Mövenpick Hotel Amsterdam City Centre
