At Marriott Courtyard Mississauga and Crescent Hotels & Resorts, we understand what it takes to be part of something great. We encourage you to bring your true self to work every day, celebrate you, and cheer you on as you shine bright in your career journey. Whether through our health & wellness programs, best-in-class learning and development, or our travel discounts that 'feed your inner explorer', we work hard to create and deliver what YOU need. We are ready for you to start your journey with us where You Belong. We Care. Shine Bright.

We are looking for a versatile and well-organized Sales & Catering Manager with an outward direct-sales focus to meet or exceed established catering sales targets.

We are committed to providing you with:

• Excellent compensation package (CAD 60,000 to CAD 70,000)
• An exceptional benefit plan for you & your family members
• RRSP with matching component
• Discounts with our Crescent managed properties in North America for you & your family members

Here is what you will be doing each day:

As our Sales & Catering Manager, you'll be the go-to person for creating exceptional catering experiences for our clients. You'll meet and greet clients, conduct property tours, and tailor catering solutions to meet their needs. You'll handle everything from negotiating prices and planning menus to coordinating with chefs, sales staff, and equipment providers. Ensuring everything runs smoothly, you'll oversee venue, food, and service preparations while adhering to food and health regulations. You'll stay ahead of industry trends and promote our competitive catering services. Building strong relationships with clients and meeting planners, you'll showcase our hotel facilities and services through property tours and site inspections. Plus, you'll lead pre- and post-event meetings to ensure everything goes off without a hitch.

Does this sound like you?

If you have 3-5 years of catering management experience (or a mix of experience and education), know your way around electronic catering sales systems like Delphi FDC, and can deliver top-notch catering services on budget and on time, we want to hear from you! You'll need advanced industry knowledge, excellent communication skills, and the ability to stay organized and multitask.

At Crescent Hotels & Resorts, we strive to create a great place to work where associates at all levels of our organization are respected for their differences, just like the guests and owners we serve. That's why we are dedicated to creating an environment that facilitates open and honest conversations about race, equity, diversity, and inclusion. By examining our own beliefs and behaviors, we can create change through training, recruiting, and promoting diverse talent to strengthen our culture.
