Sales Manager jobs

This is an opportunity to join a different kind of hotel group and to learn what hospitality means to us.

We are an independent group and as a potential Head of Business Development for the Sretaw Hotel Group (SHG) | The Grafton & The Chancery Hotels, we’ll expect you to have at least two years as a sales or event sales manager position in a single or multi property in the Irish Hotel / Tourism sector.

At SHG we’re in the business of making people feel at home (when they’re not) and in the practice of making hospitality never feel like business (when it is). You might think that this goes without saying but we find it useful to remind candidates (and ourselves) what our industry is about. It’s a simple ethos that works for us and for our guests.

Let’s take it as a given that you’re a driven, dynamic individual who likes to take the initiative and be held accountable, okay? Because we’re a small hotel group but expanding we’re light on our feet you won’t find the bureaucratic drag and corporate rigidity from the usual chains.

You’ll have real responsibility to make real decisions. Because were an ambitious (and growing group with new property opening ) we’ll expect those decisions to help move the entire project forward. We’re about results but we’re also about relationships and personalities - while you’re selling rooms there should be room for you to be you.

So, if you’re ready to level-up your career and get creative with a crew of likeminded people, reach out today. If you come to work with us, we’re sure you’ll enjoy your stay.
