About this role
Leading sales efforts across the Delhi and Mumbai markets for a Ritz-Carlton property, this role sits between strategic planning and hands-on execution. You would work closely with the Director of Sales to implement segment-focused strategies—whether targeting groups, corporate clients, associations, or transient bookings—while personally driving revenue through your own booking goals and coaching the sales team. The position demands someone equally comfortable analyzing market data and revenue projections as they are sitting across from clients to close deals and gather feedback on service quality.
Success here requires a blend of sales acumen, relationship-building discipline, and operational detail. You'll develop and execute promotional campaigns, approve space allocation to maximize catering revenue, participate in sales calls, and handle the full lifecycle of booked business from proposals through contracts. Beyond the numbers, you're expected to model exceptional customer service, interact directly with guests to understand their needs, and ensure the sales team upholds Ritz-Carlton's brand standards. This means attending industry events and customer functions to maintain key relationships while staying grounded in day-to-day sales activities.
The role calls for either a two-year degree with three years of sales and marketing experience, or a four-year degree with one year in the field. You should be comfortable with sales systems and revenue management tools, capable of working across multiple internal teams (Revenue Management, HR, Operations), and ready to operate in a fast-paced, results-driven environment where guest satisfaction and revenue targets are equally weighted.
