🏨 Hotel Group | Team of 10 | Strategic Leadership Role
We’ve been retained by a fast-growing, people-first hotel group to appoint a Head of Meetings & Events Sales. This is a fantastic opportunity for a proven leader in the hospitality sector to take on a high-impact, multi-site role, managing a talented team and driving the commercial performance of some of London’s most exciting hotel event spaces.
About the business:
This is a non-corporate, values-led hotel group with multiple properties across Central London. They pride themselves on creating warm, welcoming guest experiences — and fostering an inclusive, down-to-earth culture for their team. Think less red tape, more collaboration. Less hierarchy, more heart.
The role:
As Head of Meetings & Events Sales, you’ll lead the group’s M&E sales function — overseeing a team of 10 across both proactive and reactive sales. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring a strategic mindset, a strong commercial instinct, and a genuine passion for developing people.
You’ll be part of the senior commercial team, working closely with General Managers, the wider sales & marketing team, and operations leaders to ensure the meetings and events business continues to grow in both volume and value.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading and developing a team of 10 across multiple London sites
* Owning the group-wide meetings & events sales strategy, both proactive and reactive
* Building relationships with key corporate, agency, and direct clients
* Creating smart, data-led plans to increase conversion and optimise team performance
* Ensuring sales systems, processes, and reporting are fit for purpose and scalable
* Acting as a senior leader within the business, contributing to wider commercial decisions
* Collaborating with GMs and ops teams to ensure smooth end-to-end event delivery
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for a high-performing sales leader with experience in multi-site hotel groups or venue chains, who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment.
You should bring:
* Proven leadership experience – ideally having led and developed medium-sized teams
* A track record of success in M&E or hotel group sales
* Experience in a multi-site hotel environment (essential)
* The ability to work both strategically and operationally
* Excellent communication and influencing skills
* A commercial mindset with a strong understanding of the London M&E market
* A warm, grounded personality – someone who thrives in a down-to-earth, team-based culture
Why join?
* A generous base salary of up to ÂŁ55,000 + performance bonus
* A high-profile leadership role in a fast-growing hotel group
* A collaborative culture with real autonomy and trust
* The opportunity to shape and grow a successful M&E function across some of London’s most exciting spaces
This is an ideal role for someone who’s looking to step up into a broader leadership position – or perhaps someone who’s done similar and wants to work somewhere with more soul, less corporate fluff.
