  • Carry out familiarization visits and site inspections for prospective and existing business.
  • Track competitor activity and share tactical updates with management.
  • Host prospects and key accounts to retain current business and win additional revenue.
  • Provide reports on sales activity and achieved outcomes as needed.
  • Build and maintain relationships with business sources such as meeting and convention planners, visitors bureau contacts, travel agents, tour operators, airlines, corporate clients, government departments, and other related partners.
  • Align daily work with business needs and operational priorities.

What we are looking for

  • Strong familiarity with the local market.
  • Comfort working in a busy, fast-moving, and varied workplace.
  • Good understanding of local businesses and market trends.
  • Clear spoken and written communication skills in English; Arabic is a strong advantage.

Rewards and benefits

  • Competitive pay aligned to performance and effort.
  • Full uniform provided.
  • Room discounts.
  • Access to strong training and development opportunities.

The employer is committed to building inclusive teams and welcomes people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Employment decisions are made without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, or disability.
