Job description

Are you a natural connector with a passion for creating new opportunities?

We’re looking for a Hotel Sales and Networking Executive to drive growth at the iconic Mercure Brighton Seafront Hotel. If you thrive on spotting opportunities, building networks, and turning conversations into commercial success, this is your moment.

Who are we?

At Aimbridge Hospitality EMEA, we’re part of a global powerhouse in hotel management. We work with the world’s most recognised brands – from Hilton and Marriott to IHG and Accor – and we’re proud to bring people-first hospitality to life across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Why join us?

As part of the Aimbridge family, you’ll enjoy global career opportunities, industry-leading training, and fantastic perks like hotel discounts across our portfolio (including up to 50% off food, beverage, and spa), flexible working options, and access to Wagestream so you can draw down up to 40% of your pay as you earn it. You’ll also benefit from a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme and lucrative referral schemes.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you’ll be the proactive force behind our hotel’s growth. You’ll identify and secure new business opportunities across corporate, leisure, and MICE segments, while building and nurturing strong relationships with clients and partners. Representing the hotel at networking events, trade shows, and client meetings will be a key part of your day, as will collaborating with marketing and operations to deliver compelling proposals and campaigns. Staying ahead of market trends and competitor activity is essential, and you’ll report on pipeline and performance to senior leadership.

This is a role for someone who lives and breathes networking – someone who knows how to open doors, build trust, and create long-term partnerships.

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring proven experience in business development or sales, ideally within hospitality or a service‑led industry. Confidence in communication, negotiation, and presentation is a must, along with the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, target‑driven environment. Organisation and attention to detail are key, as is being a team player who collaborates across departments to deliver results. Above all, you’ll be passionate about hospitality and delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Ready to make your mark in Brighton?
