Job description

Location: Holiday Inn Express London-Excel

If you’re someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting commercial opportunities, and turning conversations into tangible results, this is your opportunity to step into a visible, fast-paced sales role within a global hospitality business.

Who We Are

Aimbridge Hospitality EMEA is part of the global Aimbridge Hospitality family — but our story is grounded in people.

We partner with some of the world’s leading hotel brands, including Hilton, IHG, Accor and Marriott, operating across a diverse portfolio of destinations and properties. What sets us apart is how we bring those brands to life — through our people, our culture, and our commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.

At the heart of everything we do is a “people first” approach. We believe in creating an environment where individuals are supported, developed, and given the opportunity to grow.

About the Role

This is a role for someone who enjoys being proactive, building connections, and playing a visible part in the commercial success of a hotel.

Hotel Sales & Reservations Executive

you’ll contribute directly to driving revenue, supporting the delivery of the hotel’s commercial strategy and strengthening the pipeline of new and existing business. You’ll have clear visibility of how your work impacts performance — from generating leads through to conversion and long-term relationship building.

Working closely with operational teams, you’ll help ensure every opportunity is maximised and every client experience reflects the standards of the brand.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll support sales activity by identifying new business opportunities, preparing proposals, attending networking events, and assisting with marketing initiatives, including social media and promotional campaigns. You’ll also manage guest enquiries, maintain accurate reservation records, monitor room availability, and ensure every booking is handled efficiently from enquiry through to arrival.

What We’re Looking For

Sales and customer service experience: You'll have previous experience in a sales, reservations or hospitality role, with the confidence to build relationships, convert enquiries into bookings, and deliver excellent customer service.

Excellent communication skills: You'll be comfortable communicating with guests, clients and colleagues, both in person and over the phone, providing a professional and friendly experience at every touchpoint.

Organisation and attention to detail: You'll be highly organised, able to manage multiple priorities, maintain accurate reservation records, and ensure every booking is handled with precision.

Commercial awareness: You'll understand how to identify sales opportunities, maximise revenue, and support the hotel's commercial objectives through proactive sales activity and effective booking management.

A proactive team player: You'll enjoy working collaboratively across departments, be eager to contribute new ideas, and thrive in a fast-paced hospitality environment.
