Job description

The Role Outline: Your Shift at a Glance

From a 50th birthday to a Bar Mitzvah, and from the Wedding of the Year to a high stakes working lunch, Village Hotel Clubs have the perfect space to celebrate in style. As our Meetings & Events Sales Office Manager, you are the commercial driver of these spaces. You will handle every enquiry professionally, proactively hunt for new business, and ensure flawless administration.

Why Village?

We do hospitality differently. No ego, no drama. We back our teams to take ownership and grow their careers. We show up to make a genuine difference, caring deeply about our impact on guests, the community, and each other.

Your Shift: What You’ll Actually Be Doing

We trust you to handle:

• The Commercial Strategy: Drive the M&E budget. You will cater packages for all clients and replace guesswork with quantifiable application velocity metrics to forecast accurately.
• The Execution: Deliver absolute attention to detail. Ensure all event administration is flawless and communicated to operations with total precision.
• The Leadership: Manage a high performing team. You will navigate defensiveness to coach your staff, review wage costs using TnA, and foster commercial awareness.
• The Internal Bridge: Protect the operation. Ensure seamless communication with the GM and front of house teams so they can actually execute the dream your team just sold.

How We Succeed Together

We do not micromanage. We believe in Ownership & Integrity, giving you the autonomy to make decisions on the fly and smash your targets.

Selling Our Benefits

• Health: Complimentary Health & Wellness Membership for you and a friend (worth £1,500), mental health days, and an Employee Assistance Programme.
• Stays & Food: Discounted stays from £35, 50% off at the Pub & Grill, and 30% off Starbucks.
• Extras: Salary drawdown via Wagestream, High Street discounts, Electric car scheme, and your birthday off guaranteed.

Think You’ve Got the Right Energy?

We are not looking for perfect CVs, we are looking for great people. If you have proven leadership experience in hospitality sales and a genuine passion for the details that make an event spectacular, we want to hear from you.

At Village, we’re all about personality, ambition, and bringing your real self to work. Diverse perspectives are what keep our business buzzing, so whatever your background, you’ll find a welcoming place to build your career here.
