Corporate Sales & Partnership Manager (Paris Market Focus)
ABOUT ZOKU
Ready to redefine hospitality? To strengthen our commercial presence in Paris, we’re looking for a proactive Corporate Sales & Partnership Manager who knows the local market and builds relationships across segments.
Zoku Paris, at Porte de Clichy, is not your typical hotel. Our hybrid hospitality concept welcomes professionals and curious travelers who want to live, work, and connect for days, weeks, or months. With our award-winning Loft concept and vibrant rooftop spaces, we bring together residents, visitors, and the local community in a way that feels natural, inspiring, and efficient.
TELL ME MORE This is a proactive, commercial role at the heart of our business. As our Corporate Sales & Partnership Manager, you will grow Zoku Paris’s network and drive revenue across our Lofts and meeting & event spaces. Your focus covers corporate travel, extended stays and relocation, groups, meetings and events, and local coworking partnerships. You own your territory, adapting your approach to each segment and turning conversations into bookings and contracts. You don’t wait for leads: you are out in the market, making things happen.

- Position Zoku for offsites, workshops, and celebrations, combining meetings with overnight stays where relevant
- Work closely with the M&E team to convert enquiries and maintain a strong, consistent pipeline
Sales Strategy & Execution
- Manage your pipeline effectively using Salesforce as our CRM
