Job description

We are looking for a Catering Sales Executive to join our dynamic team for The Hoxton Bengaluru City.

The Hoxton is opening its very first neighbourhood hotel in Asia, coming to India's Bengaluru city centre in 2026. This is a major milestone for the brand as it ventures into a new continent entirely and we are now looking for a brilliant leadership team to help bring this lifestyle brand to the market.

Located in the heart of the city centre, The Hoxton, Bengaluru City will bring its undeniable brand DNA and guest experience to India's "Silicon Valley", a high-tech city filled with parks and gardens and known for its vibrant cafe and pub culture - very apt for a brand that was founded in London!

The hotel will feature 149 bedrooms in a variety of The Hoxton's well-loved room categories and the lobby will have a vibrant all-day dining restaurant & bar. Topping off the hotel we will have a rooftop pool and bar, large-scale function rooms and The Apartment - The Hoxton's unique meeting & events concept

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just be...

What's in it for you...

• The opportunity to work with an exciting new hospitality concept in Bangalore and have a real impact on its success.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that's committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Become part of a team that's very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Great discounts across the entire Ennismore family (which you get to keep even if you decide to leave us!).
• A competitive package and plenty of opportunity for development.

Job Description

What you'll do…

• Managing the meetings and events enquiry process from start to finish, answering calls and emails, sending proposals, converting enquiries and taking the event through the planning and logistical stage to handover to operations.
• Negotiating meeting & events rates with clients, in line with the selling guidelines, to assist in achieving the hotel's revenue targets.
• Following up with clients post event to get feedback and secure repeat business where possible.
• Cross-selling all global Hoxton and Ennismore properties, where applicable, to maximise revenue opportunities across corporate segments.
• Ensuring Opera Sales is up to date by putting inputting new enquiries into the system.
• Manage the preparation and distribution of function sheets on a weekly basis and present function sheets in the weekly operations meeting.
• Conducting show rounds on property.
• Building good relationships with clients for repeat business, contacting and probing repeat clients when appropriate and track year on year trends and events to support repeat business.
• Effectively co-ordinating activities related to booked meeting & event business with other departments, ensuring client's expectations are met by maintaining team communication.
• Maintaining excellent Hoxton product and brand knowledge and upselling wherever possible.
• And yes, there's a little admin … ensuring that daily, weekly and monthly administration is completed accurately and that all groups have necessary documentation on file. But let's face it, we know you love that!
• Supporting the sales team in attending and assisting with in-house marketing activities, familiarisation trips, client hospitality evenings, presentations, show rounds and promotional activities as required.

Qualifications

What we're looking for…

• Individuals. You're looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality - whether that's a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You're all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You're not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You're up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we'd have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• You're passionate about hotels and specialise in groups & events at an executive level.
• You are scarily organised, have the ability to multi-task and spin a million plates in the air at one time, prioritise and re-prioritise as things come in.
• A people person, great at building strong and lasting relationships.
