Be Yourself – Be a Bold Team Player – Be Leonardo

As a Meetings & Events (M&E) Sales Executive, you’ll be making all the difference to the business, so we want you to bring your dynamic personality to work with you every day. You’ll be managing meetings and events enquiries efficiently, and delivering excellence to all of our valued customers and clients as part of a vibrant team.

Some Of The Perks Our Colleagues Enjoy Include:

  • Special rates on Leonardo Hotel rooms across the UK & Europe: get planning that city break you’ve been dreaming of!
  • Company-wide recognition scheme: for being your fabulous self, you could earn vouchers to spend on a wide range of high street shops.
  • Meals on duty.
  • Talent referral scheme: earn yourself a bonus for recommending a friend to join us.
  • We love to get together and celebrate: we regularly host Thank You Week (your hotel could have anything from ice cream trucks to pizza parties) and every year we get dressed up in our fanciest threads to host our Employee Awards Celebration.
  • The important stuff: access to the Company Pension Scheme, Life Assurance, and Wellbeing Support.
  • Ongoing job-related training programmes with clear paths for progression.
If you’re our ideal M&E Sales Executive, you will:
  • Be yourself!
  • Increase conversion of enquiries by developing client relationships and maximising sales leads.
  • Produce function sheets and liaise closely with the hotel operational teams to ensure the smooth running of events.
  • Ensure Sales & Catering/Opera/Delphi are updated with accurate and relevant information in line with event contract – attention to detail is key!
  • Work with the M&E Office Manager to ensure revenue targets are achieved.
  • Develop strong relationships with organisers to ensure their requirements are fulfilled.
  • Gather feedback from clients – we love repeat business!
  • Have a genuine passion for hospitality and love delivering first class customer service.
