Does this sound like you?

As our Sales & Catering Manager, you will be the driving force behind The Queen’s Cue’s commercial success - shaping how guests, local partners, and the Stratford community experience our boutique property through thoughtful events, strong relationships, and proactive sales initiatives. You will oversee all group, catering, and local account business, positioning the hotel as Stratford’s preferred venue for intimate celebrations, corporate meetings, and culturally inspired social experiences.

You will lead clients through the entire sales and event journey: sourcing and nurturing leads, conducting engaging property tours, developing tailored proposals, planning menus with our culinary team, and ensuring seamless, polished execution on event day. In parallel, you will cultivate strategic partnerships, build a solid base of corporate and leisure accounts, and support the hotel’s long-term revenue objectives.
