Key Responsibilities:
1.    Sales & Lead generation

2.    Strategic Business Development
o    Identify market trends, spot opportunities and strengthen our market position.
o    Initiate and execute sales campaigns to maximize conversion.
o    Work closely with Revenue Management on pricing strategies, market opportunities and segmentation.
3.    Partnerships & Relationship Management
o    Build and maintain strong partnerships with MICE distribution channels and corporate accounts.
o    Represent the hotel within business networks and industry associations on local, regional and national level.
o    Organize and host Marriott client events and hospitality activities.
4.    Collaboration & Commercial Impact
o    Work closely with the Conference & Events Team to convert leads and generate repeat business.
o    Collaborate with the Sales Manager and Revenue Manager within the commercial team.
o    Report commercial performance to the General Manager and Area VP Strategy (YTL Hotels- owning company).
o    Actively contribute to annual sales budgets, Sales & Marketing plans and monthly reporting.

About You:
You are an energetic commercial professional who thrives in a competitive market and enjoys closing deals. You think strategically, act proactively and represent the brand with confidence and professionalism.
You bring:
•    2–4 years of experience in hotel sales (corporate, MICE or travel trade).
•    A true hunter mentality — proactive, independent and results-driven.
•    A strong network within relevant commercial segments.
•    Excellent communication and presentation skills.
•    Fluency in both Dutch and English.
•    Flexibility to manage a dynamic schedule with regular client visits and networking activities.

What We Offer:
•    Work at the largest conference hotel in The Hague — high potential and commercial opportunity.
•    An international environment backed by the power of Marriott International.
•    Creative freedom and direct influence on business growth.
•    A strong and professional Sales Team focused on continuous success.
•    Company electric sales car for business travel.
•    Laptop and smartphone.
