We are seeking a commercially minded and highly organised hospitality professional who is passionate about sales, converting enquiries into business and delivering exceptional customer service.

• Manage meetings, events and group accommodation enquiries from initial enquiry through to confirmation and handover.
• Respond to enquiries promptly and professionally, ensuring all opportunities are maximised.
• Convert enquiries into confirmed business through proactive follow-up and relationship building.
