• Consolidate client feedback, objectives, and other relevant information for use by colleagues in the Hospitality Account Management team, and across the broader organization to aid in the evolution of products and services offered in the hospitality vertical. 
• Collaborate with internal teams (such as hospitality sales, sales enablement, and content) to help address and facilitate client requests. 
• Implement up-sell or cross-sell options as outlined by the company, working to set targets.   
• Monitor client satisfaction and promptly address any issues to maintain high levels of retention. 
• Stay informed about industry trends, competitor activities, and market developments to support     you and the broader Hospitality Account Management team in your efforts 
• Utilize relevant sales tools, including CRM, to ensure accurate data, pipelines, and renewal and financial information. 
• Other duties as assigned.

You are a great fit if you have:

• At least 2–3 years of experience in B2B sales or business development
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills 
• Strong organizational skills with a results-driven mindset
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
• A proactive and creative approach to challenges

• The capability to excel both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic        environment
• Flexibility to work across different time zones
• Experience in the hotel industry
• Proficiency with CRM systems and other sales tools

Bonus points if you:
