About Youmeet Curaçao

Youmeet Curaçao is a unique venue for meetings, training sessions, workshops, and corporate events. In a relaxed yet professional setting, we welcome organizations looking for an inspiring place to connect, collaborate, and grow.

With a variety of inspiring meeting and event spaces and a personal approach, we do more than simply provide a venue. We actively help our clients find the environment that best supports the purpose and goals of their gathering.

Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. From the first point of contact to the final cup of coffee, we strive to exceed expectations and ensure our guests have a seamless experience.

In this role, you combine hospitality, organizational skills, and commercial awareness. You maintain client relationships, keep an overview of all ongoing activities, and ensure that guests feel welcomed from their first interaction with us through to the successful completion of their event.

Your responsibilities include:
  • Managing reservations for our meeting and event spaces;
  • Handling enquiries, preparing proposals, and actively following up on them;
  • Building and maintaining strong client relationships;
  • Welcoming and assisting guests during meetings and events;
  • Ensuring rooms, catering, and facilities are arranged to the highest standard;

Who are we looking for?

For this role, we are looking for someone who takes ownership.

Someone who understands that great hospitality goes beyond a warm welcome. You think ahead, know what has been agreed with clients, stay on top of schedules, and make sure everything runs smoothly before issues have a chance to arise.

You are both an organizer and a host. One moment you are preparing a proposal or coordinating an upcoming event with a client, and the next you are welcoming guests, assisting with technical setups, serving coffee or lunch, or ensuring a networking reception runs flawlessly.

You also have a commercial mindset. You recognize opportunities, build relationships, and understand that every enquiry can be the start of a long-term partnership. You enjoy guiding clients from their first enquiry through to a confirmed booking.

It is this combination of hospitality, responsibility, organization, and commercial awareness that makes you a great fit for this role.

  • A versatile position within a growing organization;
  • The opportunity to work at a unique venue in Curaçao;
  • A high level of independence and responsibility;
  • A varied role where hospitality, events, and business development come together;
  • A competitive salary and attractive employment conditions;
  • A dedicated and enthusiastic team.
