Job Description

SALES AND EVENTS COORDINATOR ($26.00 PER HOUR)

Who we are :

We love what we do and what we do is important! We believe that everyone should leave feeling better – this means not just our guests, but also our teammates. Everyone should go home feeling better because they learned something new, or had fun working that day. Therefore, we hire unique individuals who work together to create amazing experiences for our guest. We recognize that every member of the team contributes to the success of the whole hotel. No-one is more important than anyone else, and unless we are in it together, we can’t create that special experience for our guest.

Your mission :

Should you decide to accept it…

The Sales & Events Coordinator supports the sales team administratively to produce unrivaled hotel events and guest experiences. The details include organizing and coordinating event setup requests, guest chamber reservations, contracts and proposals, amenities and other administrative bits and bobs that come up.

Communication and collaboration are king (or queen) and although this position starts on the sales team, they work with every hotel department to ensure each guest stay or group goes off without a hitch. It helps if the guest sings our praises too.

Let’s face it! This is the job that makes the world go round…
