Job description

We’re growing and need an amazing salesperson

Citybox is growing! In the summer of 2027, we’ll open our largest hotel ever in Tromsø, with 351 rooms, in what will be a completely new market for us. Next, we’ll open our third hotel in Bergen, bringing our total to nearly 1,300 hotel rooms in Norway. That’s quite a few rooms to fill, preferably every night!

What will you be doing?

Selling hotel rooms to our current and future guests – simple as that…You’ll identify and engage potential customers, build relationships, and secure bookings to fill our hotels. You’ll work with the travel and tourism industry, sports clubs, project teams, and businesses.You’ll be based in Bergen but will work with our hotels throughout Norway. The focus is on Tromsø, Kristiansand, and Bergen. Oslo operates somewhat independently, but there may be potential there as well.This is an operational role with no personnel responsibility. You’ll be the only person working full‑time on this in Norway and will collaborate closely with managers in Operations, Revenue, and Marketing, as well as a sales colleague in Belgium.

Who are you?

You have a few years of sales experience, preferably from the hotel industry, travel, or another commercial role. You’re familiar with CRM systems, keep track of your own pipeline, and enjoy seeing clear results from your efforts.The rest is about how you embody our values: honest, inclusive, playful, disruptive. These values are reflected in how we collaborate, make decisions, and tackle challenges. They serve as a precise blueprint for how we want to work together.

We’re honest about what Citybox actually is; we don’t promise five stars, and we expect guests to largely take care of themselves. We know that the best deals are made in collaboration with those who know the hotels best. We believe sales should have a bit of a fun personality, so we prefer it when we get to think outside the box. And, of course, you have to enjoy traveling. You’ll get to know the cities we’re in, the markets around them, and the customers who are already there or on their way there. Some deals can be closed from Bergen. Others require you to pack your suitcase.

Why Citybox?

We like to call ourselves the punks of the hotel industry. We challenge the traditional hotel model and, in all humility, have a pretty cool brand and a really great product.

You’ll enjoy a great deal of freedom, short decision-making chains, awesome coworkers, and great employee benefits. You’ll be joining us at a time when we, as a chain, have big ambitions for further growth both domestically and internationally.
