Job description

The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance

As our Meetings & Events Sales Coordinator, you are the commercial driving force behind our corporate meetings, private events, and VWorks coworking spaces. You will handle the entire journey from the first phone call to the final contract, blending sharp administrative precision with the natural charm needed to close deals, retain members, and ensure every meeting and event runs flawlessly.

Why Village?

At Village, we do hospitality a little differently. We are all about personality, genuine connections, and creating great experiences for our guests and each other. That is why we back our teams to be themselves, take ownership, learn new skills, and grow their careers.
Previous experience is great, but your attitude and energy matter much more to us. If you are friendly, positive, love working with people, and enjoy being part of a busy team, we will give you all the support, training, and opportunities you need. Because it really does take a Village.

How the Village Thrives

We live our culture through four simple commitments:

• We Can & We Do: We show up to make a genuine difference and do fantastic work everyday, with purpose.

• We Will: Treat each other with respect and dignity. No ego, no drama. We try our best and look out for each other.

• We Care: We care about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.

Your Shift: What You’ll Actually Be Doing

As our Meetings & Events Sales Coordinator, you are the engine of the shift. We trust you to handle:

• The Hustle: Generating new business across Meetings & Events, Local Corporate, and our VWorks club. You will proactively research leads, pitch our meeting rooms and event spaces, and ruthlessly chase down your targets.

• The Details: Managing the complete booking journey for all meetings and events. You will supply accurate proposals, post revenues, and uphold absolute data integrity in our systems, replacing guesswork with quantifiable application velocity metrics to measure your conversion success.

• The Community: Championing the VWorks membership. You will process new sign ups, manage the monthly payment administration, and build genuine relationships with members to encourage long term retention.

• The Bridge: Acting as the vital link between the client and the hotel floor. You will coordinate all Meetings & Events details with total precision, escalate issues swiftly and ensure the operations team delivers exactly what you promised.
