Overview
St Martins Lane Hotel. Connecting bold brands, creative talent, and commercial opportunity!
This is a rare opportunity to shape the commercial success of two of London’s most iconic lifestyle hotels. As Business Development Manager for St Martins Lane and Sanderson, you will play a pivotal role in driving revenue through creative partnerships, cultural relevance, and high-impact relationship management. Working with hotels renowned for design, originality, and influence, you will build and grow a diverse portfolio across corporate, creative industries, agencies, groups, and events. This is not a volume-driven sales role. It is about identifying the right business, cultivating meaningful connections, and creating bespoke opportunities that align with the spirit of each hotel and the Morgans Originals brand. You will have the autonomy to think differently, act commercially, and represent the hotels confidently across London’s fashion, media, entertainment, and cultural landscapes. From negotiating key partnerships to uncovering emerging demand, your contribution will directly shape both revenue performance and brand presence. For a commercially astute, relationship-led sales professional who thrives in a lifestyle luxury environment, this role offers genuine influence, visibility, and the chance to work with hotels that continue to define modern London hospitality.
Responsibilities or Role Focus
Live the experience and build partnerships with a focus on long-term value rather than volume. Manage relationships across corporate, creative industries, agencies, groups, and events. Identify the right opportunities, tailor proposals, and create bespoke opportunities aligned with each hotel’s brand and the Morgans Originals portfolio. Collaborate with marketing, revenue, and operations to deliver compelling guest and client experiences. Maintain an autonomous pipeline, prioritise activity against wider commercial goals, and work with cross-functional teams to maximise revenue and brand presence.
Qualifications and Skills
You are commercially astute, highly organised, and comfortable with rate strategy, yield, and protecting brand integrity while driving profitable growth. You have experience in business development or proactive sales, ideally within lifestyle hotels, luxury brands, agencies, or experience-led sectors. You can manage established accounts and develop new business, spotting opportunities, opening doors, and converting relationships into long-term value. You are able to operate autonomously while collaborating with marketing, revenue, events, and operations. You bring energy, presence, and credibility within London’s creative and business communities, and you are motivated to contribute to brands that shape modern hospitality.

Because here, it’s not just about the role you do — it’s about the environment you’re part of, the people around you, and the energy you bring to it. Be bold. Be different. Be original.
You are a commercially driven, relationship-led sales professional with a clear understanding of luxury lifestyle hospitality and the London market. You thrive in environments where brand, culture, and creativity matter as much as revenue performance, and you are confident representing iconic hotels with strong identities. You bring proven experience in business development or proactive sales, ideally within lifestyle hotels, luxury brands, agencies, or experience-led sectors. You are equally comfortable managing established accounts and developing new business, with a natural ability to spot opportunity, open doors, and convert relationships into long-term value. Commercially astute and highly organised, you understand rate strategy, yield, and the importance of protecting brand integrity while driving profitable growth. You approach sales with curiosity and creativity, tailoring proposals and partnerships to suit clients across corporate, creative industries, agencies, groups, and events. You are confident operating autonomously, managing your own pipeline, and prioritising activity in line with wider commercial goals. At the same time, you value collaboration and work seamlessly with marketing, revenue, events, and operations to deliver outstanding guest and client experiences. Most importantly, you bring energy, presence, and personality. You are culturally engaged, well connected, and credible within London’s creative and business communities. You take pride in representing hotels that stand for originality, design, and experience, and you are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to brands that continue to shape modern hospitality.
