Description

We were going to advertise for a ‘Business Development Manager’. But that would be a very boring title for what is a very exciting job.


Call it what you like – but what we’re really after is someone to put the HOT into HOTEL.


Whoever takes on this role will be developing more than just business. Gotham is a way of life. A vibe. A 5-star-studded, theatrical, vibrant, stylish, dramatic experience – for guests and staff.


We want someone to reach for the stars.


You’ll need to be energetic, charming, proactive and entrepreneurial. A bit of a multi-tasking marvel. And you’ll have the experience, ability and determination to:



  • Quickly attune yourself to the Hotel Gotham and Bespoke Hotels brands

  • Develop and execute a winning business development strategy.

  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities through positive relationships with corporate accounts, travel agencies, and key industry players.

  • Conduct and act on market research, competitor analysis and performance metrics.

  • Create compelling, creative proposals with your sales and marketing teams.

  • Represent Hotel Gotham at industry events, trade shows, and networking functions.


You’ll also have …



  • A degree in Business Administration, Hospitality Management, or a related field.

  • Proven experience in business development, sales, or a similar role within the hospitality industry.

  • Proven communication, negotiation, time-management and interpersonal skills.

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

  • Proficiency in MS Office Suite.

  • Willingness to travel as needed.


We don’t like hospitality. We love it.


We’ll offer you a competitive salary and incentives, ample scope for personal development and discounted hotel stays for you, your family, and friends.


Not everyone you meet exudes positivity about careers in hospitality … long hours and all that. We do. We actually love hospitality. We think Hotel Gotham is a joyous, vibrant, exciting hotel brand. Come and hit us with your enthusiasm for this exciting role.
