Knowledge & Skills:

• Scope: This role has fleet-wide programming reach across the full Princess Cruises fleet, shaping the enrichment experience on every voyage across every trade. Based shoreside the Manager, Enrichment sits within the Entertainment Operations vertical and partners regularly with the Senior Manager, Programming and Operations, and peer Managers across music, guest entertainers, activities, and family programming. Externally, the role manages an ongoing portfolio of presenter talent relationships across a wide range of specialist disciplines.

• Problem solving: The core challenge of this role is building and sustaining a high-quality, trade-flexible enrichment program that feels genuinely curated rather than generic, across a fleet of ships serving vastly different destinations and guest mixes simultaneously. Operational problem solving includes filling last-minute presenter vacancies on voyages with specific expertise requirements, adapting programming when a trade or itinerary changes, and balancing the desire for programming ambition against the practical constraints of shipboard scheduling windows and available budget. The role also requires the judgment to evaluate enrichment of presenter performance and make difficult talent decisions when the quality bar is not being met.

• Impact: The Manager, Enrichment has a direct and meaningful impact on a strategic priority that is central to the Princess Enriched initiative and the broader entertainment evolution the company is executing.

• Leadership: This role carries direct people leadership responsibility for one shoreside direct report, the Specialist, Enrichment, who supports the day-to-day coordination and delivery of enrichment programming across the fleet. In addition to managing this direct report, the Manager, Enrichment exercises significant leadership through the oversight and management of a large and diverse roster of rotational enrichment talent across multiple disciplines and concurrent voyages. Talent selection, scheduling, performance evaluation, and relationship management for this external roster require strong independent judgment and the ability to make difficult decisions when the quality bar is not being met. The role also leads through influence across a team of programming peers, shaping how enrichment integrates with music, activities, guest entertainers, and scheduling across the broader Operations vertically.

For all roles:

• Knowledge: Understanding of workplace policies and procedures / Familiarity with team collaboration tools and techniques.

• Skills: Strong time management and organizational skills

• Abilities: Ability to maintain reliable and consistent attendance / Capacity to be punctual and meet deadlines / Ability to collaborate effectively with colleagues and work as part of a team / Demonstrated professionalism in all interactions and tasks.

• Preferred: Advanced degree or professional development in entertainment programming, cultural programming, or hospitality management.

• Proven experience recruiting, contracting, scheduling, and managing a diverse roster of specialist or performance talent across concurrent engagements.

• Experience in creating programming standards, guidelines, playbooks, or operational guides for distributed or shipboard teams.

• Experience managing operating budget inputs, talent fees, scheduling costs, and related operational expenses with financial accountability.

• Strong working knowledge of guest experience principles in the premium cruise or travel industry, including the connection between programming quality, guest satisfaction, and repeat business outcomes.
