Our client, a well-established and growing hospitality business, is entering an exciting new phase of expansion and is seeking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager to lead and grow the commercial side of the business. This is a newly created role that offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially driven professional to take ownership of the hotel’s sales and business development strategy, identifying new revenue opportunities while strengthening existing relationships.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Driving business development and identifying new revenue streams.
• Developing and managing corporate accounts and key client relationships.
• Growing the events and group business pipeline.
• Building strategic partnerships within the local and regional business community.
• Leading and supporting marketing initiatives to increase brand awareness and occupancy.
• Creating and delivering commercial strategies that support the hotel’s continued growth.

About You

We are looking for someone who is proactive, ambitious and enjoys building business rather than simply maintaining existing accounts.

You will ideally have:

• A proven background in hotel, hospitality, or service industry sales and business development.
• Hospitality experience is highly desirable; however, candidates from other commercial sales or business development backgrounds will also be considered.
• A track record of winning new business and developing long-term client relationships.
• The confidence and initiative to take ownership of the commercial function and drive growth.
• Excellent communication, networking and relationship-building skills.
• Strong knowledge of the local or regional market would be a distinct advantage.

What’s on Offer

• The opportunity to join the business at an exciting stage of growth and expansion.
• A role with real autonomy, influence and long-term career potential.
• The chance to shape and develop the commercial strategy of a growing hospitality business.

If you’re an experienced Business Development or Sales professional looking for a role where you can genuinely make your mark, we’d love to hear from you.
