Build the Future of Luxury Hospitality at Salt House @ Standon Hall

Salt House is more than a venue — it’s a destination. Set in a reimagined historic estate in Staffordshire, we blend corporate excellence, luxury weddings, curated events, and high-end stays into a seamless hospitality experience.

With exceptional event spaces, private dining, guest suites, and plans for expansion, we’re on a mission to become the most sought-after retreat in the region for executive gatherings, exclusive celebrations, and meaningful escapes.

This is your opportunity to create and lead a full-spectrum sales strategy across corporate events, luxury weddings, and accommodation, working alongside a visionary team and shaping a brand set for national recognition.

Your Mission

As Head of Sales – Corporate, Weddings & Business Development, you’ll own the commercial strategy across key verticals: corporate hospitality, luxury weddings, and premium events. You will build, lead, and grow our sales function from the ground up—driving revenue, brand reputation, and long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement the multi-channel sales strategy across corporate, weddings, and accommodation.

• Define pricing models, customer journey touch points, conversion strategies, and sales forecasts across all key segments.

• Establish Salt House as a leading destination for executive events, luxury weddings, and private stays.

Corporate Sales & Business Development

• Lead proactive business development to secure high-value corporate clients across industries such as finance, tech, consultancy, wellness, and lifestyle.

• Drive strategic partnerships with event planners, EAs, business networks, concierge services, and luxury brands.

• Develop corporate hospitality packages including offsite meetings, retreats, networking events, and private dining.

Luxury Weddings

• Collaborate with the events team to position Salt House as a leading luxury wedding venue in the region and beyond.

• Secure bookings from premium clients through strategic marketing, industry relationships, and bridal networks.

• Develop high-end wedding packages that align with the Salt House brand, ensuring seamless integration with F&B, accommodation, and event planning teams.

• Drive room occupancy through strategic B2B partnerships, brand collaborations, and direct booking incentives.

• Position Salt House as a weekend retreat and midweek corporate escape, aligning wellness, events, and luxury accommodation offerings.

• Work with marketing to develop dynamic pricing, exclusive offers, and seasonal campaigns that support revenue goals.

• Collaborate with marketing to launch integrated campaigns across weddings, corporate, and leisure markets.

• Host showcase events to bring prospective clients and partners into the Salt House experience.

• Use CRM systems and data insights to refine approach, track success, and report regularly to leadership.

What We’re Looking For

• A senior commercial leader with demonstrable experience across corporate sales, high-end weddings, hospitality, or luxury travel/accommodation.

• Proven success in building sales functions from scratch and driving measurable revenue growth.

• Strong networks across corporate, lifestyle, event planning, and HNW audiences.

• A confident dealmaker with experience in securing large-scale bookings, long-term partnerships, and strategic alliances.

• Deep understanding of premium guest expectations and a passion for excellence in client experience.

• Entrepreneurial spirit, able to thrive in an evolving, fast-paced environment.

Why Join Salt House?

• A Blank Canvas with High Ambition – Build a commercial operation across multiple revenue streams.
