    Jumeirah, a global leader in luxury hospitality and a member of Dubai Holding, operates an exceptional portfolio of 29 properties across 11 countries in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. In 1999, Jumeirah changed the face of luxury hospitality with the opening of the iconic Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and the brand is now renowned worldwide for its distinguished beachfront resorts, esteemed city hotels and exclusive residences. From the contemporary Maldivian island paradise at Jumeirah Olhahali Island to the art-inspired Jumeirah Capri Palace in Italy and the modern twist on a British classic at Jumeirah Carlton Tower in London, the brand has become synonymous with warm and generous service and the ability to craft distinctive and purposeful experiences that bring joy to guests from across the world.  

    About the Job

    An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Executive Director of Guest Experience (Programming) to join Jumeirah Group & Corporate.

    The main duties and responsibilities of this individual contributor role include:

    • Partner with each property's hotel team to enhance and curate property-specific guest experiences, including both in-house offerings (dining, wellness, recreation) and external experiences (excursions, private events, safaris, cultural, city, or destination-specific activities).

    • Ensure all experiences align with each property's business model (size, scale, and commercial viability) and are operationally feasible to deliver at scale.

    • Act as the primary lead in supporting properties to develop detailed, step-by-step processes, including operating budgets, pricing, and operational logistics, to enable consistent execution of experiences.

    • Identify, explore, and share best-in-class industry practices for implementation across the portfolio.

    • This is an individual contributor role, requiring a highly hands-on and execution-focused approach.

    The ideal candidate for this position will have the following experience and qualifications:

    • 15+ years of leadership experience in global luxury hospitality, including senior roles shaping guest experience across multi-property or international portfolios, with the maturity and credibility to influence and gain buy-in from hotel property teams.

    • Experience within concierge services, destination management companies, high-end DMCs, or luxury travel companies is a strong advantage.

    • Demonstrated expertise in crafting bespoke, emotionally resonant guest journeys for high-value clientele, including VIPs, elite loyalty members, and top-tier guests.

    • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that enhance brand positioning, service excellence, and overall guest satisfaction.

    • Strong operational background across front-of-house and experience functions, with exposure to suites, villas, private residences, or members-only environments.
