You’ll work closely with the Director of Sales to maximise revenue opportunities, develop key market segments, and lead a team committed to delivering excellence.
What We’re Looking For:
Minimum 5 years’ experience in hotel sales, ideally in London
Proven proactive sales and account management background
Expertise in the corporate transient segment is essential
Experience managing TMCs and consortia programmes is a plus
Strong negotiation and communication skills

Analytical mindset with advanced reporting skills
Experience with Delphi, Opera, or Juyo is beneficial

The Ideal Candidate
We’re after someone who’s equal parts strategic thinker and natural connector.
