• Establish service recovery protocols, guest issue resolution frameworks, and guest-facing performance metrics
• Build the guest feedback infrastructure, including post-flight surveys, NPS tracking, and qualitative research
• Report guest experience performance to the executive team and board

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive customer experience or service leadership in luxury hospitality, premium aviation, or ultra-luxury travel
• Demonstrated success defining and launching guest experience programs at a brand known for service excellence
