Corporate Sales Manager (FT)

We are looking for a Corporate Sales Manager!

As Corporate Sales Manager, you will be responsible for the corporate market and its various segments that we can facilitate with our full service Aparthotel/Extended Stay. You will work closely with your colleagues from the Reservations team and the Event Sales Team at Papa's Houses. You enjoy discovering new opportunities within an organisation that is doing well commercially, helping to optimise current locations and preparing the company for further growth towards new locations.

With your commercial qualities, you achieve maximum results, give your input to create budgets, on which you then create your own sales plan. You do this productively and above all with a lot of job satisfaction. You are a team player and with all your actions you think about whether it will be a one-person show or whether you will make it a duo performance with one of your colleagues in order to always talk professionally and to the right people. On a daily basis, you work not only with the sales team, but also with the hotel and location managers with whom we carry the commercial success together.
