Tanaka Muzenda
@tanakamuzenda
Customer Experience professional delivering hospitality leadership and remote support globally.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven hospitality and customer experience professional with 4+ years of progressive leadership across bar management, guest relations, remote customer support, and travel coordination. I’m known for delivering exceptional service to international clientele while running remote workflows autonomously, with zero supervision required.
In hospitality leadership, I served as Bar Manager and Head of Guest Experience, overseeing full daily operations, stock and cost control, and F&B hygiene compliance. I designed a weekly entertainment calendar (karaoke nights, pool competitions, themed sporting events) that directly increased guest retention and review scores, and I handled front-desk operations for 50+ guests with real-time issue resolution.
I also bring strong remote readiness and digital fluency: as an Independent Travel Manager, I managed end-to-end arrangements asynchronously via email and digital platforms, using GDS-adjacent systems and delivering itinerary design, pricing strategy, and destination advisory. As a Remote Customer Support Representative, I maintained 95%+ CRM accuracy and used empathetic, solution-first communication across time zones, and I’ve complemented this with sales/outreach support and front-of-house service strengths.
