Edinburgh, United Kingdom The Hoxton Full time

**Company Description** The Hoxton, Edinburgh**

We can’t wait to open our first UK hotel outside of London and where better than the characterful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We are now looking for a **Groups & Events Executive **to join our team and play a crucial part in successfully launching our brand in this new neighbourhood. Reporting to the Groups & Events Manager, you’ll be responsible for converting enquiries to drive groups, meetings and events revenue into The Hoxton, Edinburgh.

The Hox in Edinburgh will boast 214 bedrooms influenced by the Georgian heritage of the building and city (including the introduction of a new room category for the Hox), a main restaurant and big lobby & bar, a large event space and The Apartment - our unique meetings and events concept.

**More about us**

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.
**Job Description** What's in it for you...**
- Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
- Competitive salary.
- 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance.
- Food on us during your shift.
- Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
- Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
- Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
- Hox Hero and Nifty Fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
- An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
- Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special) team parties - we know how to have a good time
- The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
- Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
- Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

**What you’ll do**
- Negotiate meeting & events rates with clients, in line with the selling guidelines, to assist in achieving the hotel’s revenue targets.
- Follow up with clients post event to get feedback and secure repeat business where possible.
- Cross-sell all global Hoxton and Ennismore properties, where applicable, to maximise revenue opportunities across corporate segments.
- Ensure Opera Sales is up to date by putting inputting new enquiries into the system.
- Manage the preparation and distribution of function sheets on a weekly basis and present function sheets in the weekly operations meeting.
- Conduct show arounds on property.
- Build good relationships with clients for repeat business, contacting and probing repeat clients when appropriate and track year on year trends and events to support repeat business.
- Effectively co-ordinate activities related to booked meeting & event business with other departments, ensuring client’s expectations are met by maintaining team communication.
- Maintain excellent Hoxton product and brand knowledge, upselling wherever possible.
- And yes, there’s a little adminensuring that daily, weekly and monthly administration is completed accurately and that all groups have necessary documentation on file. But let’s face it, we know you love that
- Support the sales team in attending and assisting with in-house marketing activities, familiarisation trips, client hospitality evenings, presentations, show rounds and promotional activities as required.

**What we’re looking for**
- Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
- Passion for hospitality - whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
- You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
- You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
- You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
- If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
- You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
- You’re passionate about hotels and specialise in groups & events at an executive level.
- You are scarily organised, have the ability to multi-task and spin a million plates in the air at one time, prioritise and re-prioritise as things come in.
- A people person, great at building strong and lasting relationships.
