  • Identify and develop new revenue opportunities within established and emerging GCC source markets.
  • Establish strong relationships with key decisionmakers, owners and senior management within major travel companies and strategic corporate accounts.
  • Develop joint business opportunities, tactical campaigns, promotions, preferred partnerships, and sales initiatives with key trade partners.
  • Manage and grow production from existing accounts, with clear targets for room nights, revenue, bookings, and market share where applicable.
  • Conduct regular sales visits, presentations, trade events, workshops, webinars, and roadshows across the region.
  • Represent the company and its portfolio at major regional and international travel trade exhibitions and industry events.
  • Work closely with hotel sales, marketing, revenue management, and operations teams to ensure commercial opportunities are converted effectively.
  • Monitor competitor activity, market trends, consumer demand, and distribution developments.
  • Provide regular market intelligence, pipeline updates, account performance reports, and actionable recommendations to senior management.
  • Develop a structured pipeline of new accounts and opportunities and ensure consistent follow-up and conversion.
  • Support the development of annual budgets, sales targets, and account plans.
  • Ensure commercial activities deliver measurable ROI and revenue contribution.

Candidate Profile:

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in hotel sales development.
  • Proven experience specifically within the GCC/Middle East leisure market.
  • An established and demonstrable network of relationships within GCC/ME with major travel agencies, tour operators, DMCs, luxury travel partners and Corporate/Government segment.
  • Proven track record of business generation and revenue growth, rather than purely account servicing.
  • Strong understanding of the leisure travel landscape.
  • Experience selling luxury Hotels.
  • Strong negotiation, commercial and relationship-management skills.
  • Ability to identify opportunities, develop a sales strategy and personally drive the conversion process.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
