• structured, hands-on and proactive approach,
• confidence in working closely with GM, Revenue, Marketing and Operations,
• Czech and English language skills.
• Hotel or hospitality experience is strongly preferred, but we are also open to strong profiles from MICE, events, travel trade or corporate hospitality.

What makes this opportunity attractive?
You will join a hotel with scale, business potential and momentum.

We offer:

• Director-level title and full sales leadership responsibility,
• direct reporting line to the General Manager,
