Job description

This will be far more than "just a job" for you. You will want to shine and deliver excellence no matter your role at our extraordinary destination, Maryhill Estate.

Here, we aim to refine history and elevate the sense of passion to an entirely new level. This is where dreams become reality—for both our employees and guests. World-class experiences, lifelong memories, and a workplace you can truly be proud of. We live by our core values in everything we do.

Being Passionate, Professional, Playful, and Personal is what makes us unique and what drives our growth.

Are you a passionate and driven sales professional with the ability to create unique experiences?

Then you might be the person we are searching for!

We are now looking for a new Salesperson—or as we call it, a Business Opportunity Manager (BOM). A genuine, passionate individual motivated not only by business but also by building and nurturing long-term customer relationships and selling memorable experiences—ideally with a playful personality that inspires.

At our destinations, which we refer to as our hotels, the experiences we offer are far from traditional meetings. We focus on the holistic experience—from exceptional service to our outstanding interiors—with the goal of always exceeding customer expectations. We work with the concept of "Bleasure"—a perfect blend of business and pleasure—where visitors are encouraged to let new ideas blossom in a creative and inspiring environment.

What does a Business Opportunity Manager at Maryhill Estate do?

As a BOM, you hold overall responsibility for developing and managing customer relationships and identifying new business opportunities. Your focus will be on selling large and complex Meetings & Events. You will spend significant time engaging with customers through tours, meetings, and calls—to create business and strengthen our long-term client relationships. You will also participate in hosting client events, representing us at trade shows, and actively working with social selling on platforms such as LinkedIn.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Increasing sales and new client acquisition within the Danish market, encouraging both existing and potential clients to choose our destinations for their meetings and events.
• Owning the sales process from needs analysis to proposal and signed contract—with a strong focus on matching the deal to both the customer’s and Maryhill Estate’s best interests.
• Selling large and complex deals and ensuring their success.
• Managing and developing a client portfolio to drive growth.
• Working towards ambitious targets and being motivated by achieving and exceeding these goals.
• Being creative, flexible, and always ready to go the extra mile for our clients.
• Building long‑term relationships and creating loyal customers.

The role involves considerable travel within the Öresund region and Denmark. You will join a team alongside another BOM colleague and report to Emelie Lööf, Sales Manager.

You will also be part of a dynamic team within ESS Sales, collaborating with other sales colleagues.

About you:

• You have a strong drive and view change and development as a natural part of your work approach.
• You are social and curious—love meeting new people to create and build long-term relationships.
• You are analytical and able to evaluate deals to ensure maximum profitability.
• You thrive working towards clear, ambitious goals and are motivated by winning business.
• You are self‑driven and capable of prioritizing tasks independently, yet enjoy being part of a team that celebrates successes together.
• You have a passion for creating memorable experiences tailored to our customers’ needs.
• You have excellent communication skills and are fluent in both Swedish and English, spoken and written.

Desirable qualifications:

• Established network within business circles in Skåne/Copenhagen/Öresund region.
• Previous experience in the hotel or event industry.
• Partial or fluent proficiency in Danish.
• Experience working B2B in Denmark.

Most importantly, we value who you are as a person: your energy, passion, and drive. Naturally, a mindset of "nothing is impossible." If this resonates with you, we are confident you will thrive with us, and we look forward to receiving your application.

About the position:

• Employment type: Permanent with a 6‑month probation period.
• Start date and salary: Salary according to agreement and start date as agreed.
