Do you have experience in growing a brand new product and have a passion for sales?

This could be the role for you...



We're looking for a Events Sales Manager to join our Storyboard at Holiday Inn London Shepperton team! You'll be responsible for driving new business in order to maintain and grow existing revenues and develop key sales opportunities.



If you can grow business and enhance profitability, we would love to hear from you!

Do you love turning ideas into unforgettable moments? Are you a natural storyteller who thrives on connecting with people?

Then you might just be the perfect fit for Storyboard, the events space at Holiday Inn Shepperton. We are seeking a dynamic and driven proactive business development manager to join our team.

Storyboard isn't just a venue - it's a blank canvas where memories are made, weddings that sparkle, conferences that inspire, and celebrations that people talk about for years to come. Now, we're looking for a passionate Sales person to help us grow our story.

In this exciting and highly visible role, you will be responsible for proactively driving both event and room sales, nurturing new and existing client relationships, and increasing awareness and uptake of our innovative Storyboard offering. You will work closely with the on-property reactive sales team to collaboratively bring about success.

This is a hotel-based role, but one that requires you to be out and about - meeting clients, hosting site visits, attending networking events, and generating business opportunities both locally and further afield. You'll need to be confident, engaging, and above all, target-driven with a strong passion for sales and hospitality.

Key Responsibilities:

Proactively sell and promote the Storyboard Meetings Events product to corporate and agency clients.

Bring in new business across weddings, dry hires, celebrations, and corporate events.

Be the face of Storyboard - hosting tours, building trust, and getting clients excited about their big day.

Nurture relationships from first "hello" to final toast.

Smash sales targets (and celebrate when you do!).

Work together with our reactive and operational events team to ensure show-stopping occasions.

Attend relevant trade shows, networking events, and industry gatherings.

What are we looking for?

A people person with energy, confidence, and creativity.

Some experience in sales or events - but more importantly, a drive to succeed.

Someone who thrives on targets, deadlines, and a buzzing events calendar.

A team player with an eye for detail and a love of hospitality.

Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (travel is essential).

What We Offer:

Competitive salary with an attractive bonus scheme.

Opportunities for growth and development within a leading hotel brand.

Staff discounts and benefits as part of the IHG Hotels Resorts network.
