Full Time

Working within the local markets to promote our hotels to corporate clients and hotel booking agents, you will seek out new business opportunities and develop existing accounts to achieve increased sales for conferences, events and accommodation. Your ultimate aim is to grow revenue and market share for your hotel and the group.

To succeed in this role, you will need to be a self-starter who is passionate about achieving results and making a difference. As they say ˜people buy people', so your charismatic personality will be just as important as your proven sales experience, ideally gained within the hotel industry, and you need to be organised to plan and prioritise your time to achieve results. Your knowledge of the local market and your ability to seek solutions for your clients and to build long-term relationships will contribute to your success in this role.

You will be out and about visiting clients as well as entertaining them within the hotel so should hold a clean current driving licence and be prepared to work some evening and weekend hours on occasions.

To say thank you for your hard work and commitment we offer ad hoc rewards, i.e. shopping vouchers alongside monthly recognition schemes and an Annual Awards ceremony. You can develop your career through training courses and structured development programmes including 'Rising Stars'. We also offer wide-ranging employee benefits including enhanced annual leave after one year's service, special discounted rates across our Jupiter Hotels and Accor Group (subject to qualifying criteria), childcare scheme, Employee Assistance Programme and Healthcare Cash Plan to name but a few.
