Sales Executive - Luxury Hotel & Travel Trade Accounts

• Location: Camps Bay, Cape Town

Are you a charismatic sales star who thrives on building relationships, chasing big wins, and working with a product that practically sells itself? Ready to swap your dull desk view for uninterrupted ocean sunsets and luxury surrounds?
This is not your average sales gig. This is your chance to join a high-end hotel team perched between the Twelve Apostles and the Atlantic Ocean, where your role is as exciting as your office view.
We are looking for a Trade Account Executive to connect with top-tier travel agencies, tour operators, event organisers, production teams, and other B2B partners to drive bookings, build relationships, and boost revenue.
What you will be doing:

• Cultivating strong relationships with travel trade partners in the local and international market
• Actively identifying new business opportunities across tourism, government, MICE, golf and wellness travel sectors
• Representing the property at industry events, trade shows, networking evenings and fam trips
• Conducting site inspections, presentations and regular in-person meetings with agents and decision-makers
• Collaborating with marketing and reservations to deliver tailored packages and promotions
• Reporting on your pipeline, partner activity, and conversion performance
• Staying ahead of market trends and competitor offerings to keep us one step ahead

What you need to bring:

• A minimum of 3 years' experience in sales or business development, preferably in hospitality or tourism
• A completed diploma or degree in Marketing, Business or Hospitality Management
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills - your energy builds trust and drives deals
• Strong admin and tech skills - especially in Microsoft Excel
• A valid driver's license and your own roadworthy vehicle
• Confidence navigating the hospitality landscape - bonus if you know Opera or have connections in wellness/golf tourism

This is an onsite position based in Camps Bay, and ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-touch environment where career growth is real and hard work is recognised.

Ready to turn your talent into impact and your ambition into a beachfront career? Apply now and make waves where luxury meets opportunity.
