We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Sales to act as a senior brand ambassador for both Beaverbrook and Beaverbrook Town House.

• Collaborate closely with operations, marketing, and events teams to ensure a seamless, best‑in‑class luxury guest journey.
• Monitor competitor activity and customer insights to drive innovation and continuous improvement.
• Deliver accurate performance reporting, forecasting, and market intelligence to senior stakeholders.
• Ensure all external communications and sales materials reflect Beaverbrook’s brand values and luxury positioning.
• Undertake regular business travel across priority domestic and international markets.

Who you are

• A proven senior sales leader with a minimum of five years' experience in luxury hotel leisure sales; MICE and group experience is advantageous.
• Demonstrated success in achieving and exceeding revenue targets within a competitive luxury environment.
• An established international network within the luxury travel trade, including consortia and top‑tier travel advisors.
• A confident, credible leader with experience managing, motivating, and developing high‑performing teams.
• Commercially astute, strategic, and highly organised, with excellent negotiation and relationship‑building skills.
• Passionate about luxury hospitality, brand storytelling, and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
