At our Darwin Airport properties, conferences and events are more than a revenue stream - they're an experience we're proud to deliver. We're looking for someone who understands that great sales come from great relationships, and that a client who leaves impressed is a client who comes back.
You'll manage the end-to-end sales process across our three properties- Novotel, Mercure and ibis. You'll be responsible from the first enquiry through to a seamless handover to our events team.

- Preparing tailored proposals that reflect each client's needs and maximise revenue
- Conducting site inspections and famils that showcase our properties at their best
- Working closely with our Food & Beverage and Operations teams to ensure smooth event delivery
- Keeping our pipeline and CRM records accurate and up to date
- Contributing to sales strategy and monthly forecasting

- Experience in conference and events sales or a similar client-facing hospitality role
- A natural ability to build rapport and maintain relationships over the long term
- Strong communication skills - you listen well, respond promptly and follow through
- Commercial awareness - you understand how to maximise revenue while delivering real value to clients
