Do you love turning ideas into unforgettable moments? Are you someone who enjoys connecting with people and bringing energy to every interaction?

This is a hotel-based role, but one that also involves being out and about – meeting clients, attending events, and helping generate new business opportunities. You’ll need to be confident, personable, and eager to learn, with a genuine passion for sales and hospitality.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the promotion and sale of the Storyboard Meetings Events product to corporate and agency clients
- Assist in generating new business across weddings, celebrations, and corporate events
- Help host site visits and client tours, showcasing the venue and its potential
- Build and maintain positive relationships with new and existing clients
- Support the team in achieving sales targets and contributing to revenue growth
- Work collaboratively with the reactive sales and operations teams to deliver successful events
- Attend networking events and industry activities to support lead generation

- Experience in sales and events
- A proactive attitude and willingness to learn and develop
- Someone who is organised, motivated, and enjoys working towards targets
- A team player with attention to detail and a positive approach
- Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (travel is required)

- Competitive salary with bonus potential
- Opportunities for career development within a leading hotel brand
- Staff discounts and benefits as part of the IHG Hotels Resorts network
