Working closely with multiple departments across the hotel, you’ll play a key role in creating memorable experiences while helping drive revenue and business growth.

- Supporting reporting and performance tracking
- Contributing to social media and marketing activity
- Keeping up to date with hotel offerings, local market trends and competitor activity
- Taking ownership of projects and supporting the team wherever needed
What We’re Looking For:
We’re looking for someone with a positive attitude, plenty of energy and a genuine passion for hospitality, events and sales.
Ideal Experience & Skills:
- Experience in a customer‑facing, sales or events role (hotel or hospitality experience is a bonus)

- Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities
- Confidence when dealing with clients, suppliers and colleagues
