• Applying a confident and consistent up-selling approach to maximise value for both the client and the business
• Building strong, trusted relationships with clients by understanding their objectives and tailoring solutions to suit
• Hosting hotel site inspections and show rounds to showcase our spaces and capabilities
• Coordinating the end-to-end administration and seamless execution of events, ensuring every detail is covered
• Supporting and participating in hotel promotional activities and sales initiatives

Why You'll Love This Role

You'll be part of a collaborative, high-energy team where initiative is encouraged, performance is recognised, and no two days are the same. If you enjoy working with people, love the buzz of live events, and are motivated by results, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
