- Description
Director of Sales - Build, Win & Lead from the Front
Location: Northamptonshire
Salary: £45,000-£47,000 + up to 20% bonus (paid quarterly)
If you're a sales leader who thrives on winning new business, building momentum and seeing the direct impact of your work, this is a role where you can truly make your mark.We're looking for a hands-on, commercially sharp Director of Sales to take ownership of revenue performance at a well-established hotel. This isn't a "sit back and manage" role - it's about leading from the front, driving proactive sales, and shaping a high-performing culture.
You'll have the autonomy to identify opportunities, win key accounts, and influence strategy, while developing a team to think and act more proactively.

What You'll Be Doing
* Winning New Business: Proactively targeting and securing corporate accounts, group bookings and local partnerships
* Driving Midweek Performance: Building a strong, consistent corporate base
* Maximising Weekends: Creating smart, targeted strategies to increase leisure and event demand
* Leading the Sales Function: Supporting and developing a reactive team to improve conversion and shift mindset
* Owning the Pipeline: Creating energy, pace and accountability around sales activity and results
* Shaping Commercial Strategy: Using data, insight and market knowledge to influence pricing and positioning
* Raising Market Presence: Positioning the hotel strongly within the local and regional market
________________________________________
What We're Looking For
* Experience in hotel sales within a branded environment
* Able to demonstrate winning new business
* A driven, proactive mindset - you enjoy being out in the market, not behind a desk
* Strong commercial awareness and confidence influencing strategy
* A natural leader who can motivate, challenge and develop others
________________________________________
Why This Role Stands Out
* Real autonomy to shape the sales direction
* A genuine opportunity to build something and see the results
* Strong bonus structure with quarterly payouts
* Ideal for a Senior Sales Manager ready for their first DOS role or an experienced DOS wanting more impact and less red tape
