• Use effective sales techniques to maximise room revenue and identify opportunities to convert enquiries into bookings.
• Follow escalation procedures when resolving reservation or guest concerns.
• Work closely with Sales, Events, Revenue, Front Office and other departments to ensure booking details are communicated accurately.
• Maintain guest privacy, confidentiality and Marriott International standards at all times.

What We’re Looking For

• Confidence managing multiple enquiries and priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• A guest-focused mindset with the ability to anticipate needs and provide thoughtful service.
