• Administration & systems – accurately maintain contracts and client information and ensure structured follow-up across the various systems.
• Collaboration – act as an important link between client feedback and operations and actively contribute ideas for improvements.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and commercially driven personality who takes initiative and gets energy from working with clients. In addition, you have:

• Hotel experience – a first experience in sales or hospitality is a plus.
• Sales knowledge – preferably some experience in a commercial role, or a strong motivation to develop your sales skills.
• Commercial mindset – you have a good eye for business and know how to identify commercial opportunities.
