Valor Hospitality is looking for a driven, people-first Key Account Manager to join our Central Sales & Marketing team on a 12-month fixed term contract, covering maternity leave.

What You'll Be Doing

· Building and strengthening relationships from an established base of key and development UK agents that can deliver revenue into our 41 UK hotels.

· Pro-active sales activity that keeps you and Valor at the forefront of agents and bookers minds through a mix of activity that includes hosted fam trips, educational lunch and learn sessions, in person presentations, virtual spotlight sessions, and industry networking.

· You will have your ear to the ground to seek new business opportunities and nurture the relationship into long-term partnerships.

· Working alongside our hotel-based sales and revenue teams to turn pipeline bookings into confirmed business.

· Representing Valor at industry events such as AIEA and the MIA, trade shows, and exhibitions making sure every lead is followed up and business secured.

· Keeping Salesforce CRM accurate, and up to date with all your sales activity and pipeline.

· Bringing energy to our annual agent campaign (formerly Valorfest, this year Valor Incentive For All) to ensure your managed agents are fully engaged in the competition, driving enquiries and pushing for conversion.

What You'll Bring

· Experience of account management within the UK meetings and events agent segment.

· Established relationships and industry knowledge.

· A genuinely proactive approach in seeking new opportunities, you don't wait for them to land!

· Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to juggle a busy and varied diary.

· Strong communication skills, written and verbal, with a natural ability to build rapport quickly.

· Willingness to travel within the UK regularly as this is a role that lives on the road as much as in the inbox.

· Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends for fam trips, hospitality, and industry events.

· Your own car, with business mileage reimbursed at the current rate.
