Job Details

Sales Manger (Groups & MICE) - Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard, London

Taking inspiration from the spires of London churches and the masts of tall ships depicted by the 18th century Venetian painter Canaletto, Renzo Piano designed The Shard as a spire-like sculpture emerging from River Thames. Outstanding architecture and pure luxury is why up to six thousand people per day visit The Shard’s restaurants, bars and why tens of thousands visit the Shangri-La Hotel, located on level 34-52 of this magnificent building.

We are very excited to be commencing the search for our new Sales Manager (Groups & MICE). He/She will be pivotal to the success of the hotel through the development of relationships which will drive our Events and Groups business. The suitable candidate will be an ambassador for the hotel as well as the wider brand. This role will involve closely working with all departments to exceed the expectation of our clients.

The position of Sales Manager (Groups & MICE) will take accountability & responsibility for sourcing business through corporate/leisure bookers, MICE agencies, DMC’s and Incentive houses. As such, the role demands in-depth knowledge of the UK MICE market, the ability to capitalise on existing relationships as well as develop new ones to gear performance in this area.

Ambitious and customer focused, the successful candidate will demonstrate a proven track record in a similar role within the MICE Sales sector. Crucial to their success is their ability to develop and maintain strong relationships, identify sales opportunities and convert these into successful business. The role demands a self-starter; someone who is willing to make quick decisions involving calculated risks and who has the gravitas to account for them. Knowledge and experience in a luxury five-star hotel is essential.

We pride ourselves in a diverse workforce however you will be required to have excellent levels of written and spoken English and be eligible to work in the UK. Fluency in a second language would be beneficial.
