Company Description

Senior Sales Manager

Full time, permanent role

The Hoxton is getting ready to open its doors in Florence, capital of Italy's Tuscany region and home to some of the world's most famous masterpieces of Renaissance art, architecture and monuments. This eye-candy city is packed with culture and is the birthplace of gelato – we did not need any persuading to make it our second home in the country.

The Hoxton in Florence will feature 161 beautiful bedrooms of varying sizes, a large ground floor restaurant, bar, lobby, rooftop and courtyard. There is also a basement meeting and events space.

More about us… The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.



Job Description

Qualifications

What we're looking for… Individuals. You're looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.

You're all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. You're up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once. If we got stuck in a lift together, we'd have a good time and share a few laughs. You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way. Someone with proven experience in proactive sales and key account management, in the hotel industry, who can make a quick impact on our team. A people person who's great at growing and nurturing long lasting relationships. Strong organisational and analytical abilities. Proficiency in Agency 360, CRM software and Microsoft Office Suite.
