The Group, Meeting & Events Department is responsible for all group, meeting and events bookings in our hotels in The Netherlands. As you can imagine we have a big impact with our bookings in the hotel and of course on the revenues. We are always in contact with a lot of different departments and translating the wishes of our clients/guests towards the operational departments.  

Are you excited to be responsible for all the bookings in the hotels? Read on, because…. 

This is what you're going to do: 

In this role you are going to use all your sales skills to win business for the groups, meetings and events for our property in The Hague: Park Centraal Hotel, beautifully located in the city center and near the Palace Gardens. You will partly be based in The Hague and work from the hotel so must be willing to travel as required.  

However, your work week is also flexible between home and our Booking Office which is located at our HQ in Amsterdam Centre. 

Together with your colleagues we: 

• As the most experienced planner in our team, you'll be expected to guide and mentor interns and our new team members. 

• Create tailor made offers and quote prices. 

• Negotiate contracts.

This is why your new job is challenging: 

Group, Meeting & Events has everything to do with multitasking, setting priorities, and meeting deadlines… in other words: keeping your head cool! We are doing everything from A-Z in the process, from the new request coming in, to planning the event to competently handing it over to operations and then sending the final invoice after the event and follow up for feedback, all tasks will be done by you. So, there is never a dull moment in our department and a great opportunity for you to increase your skills in all areas of the process. 

This is why you are the best candidate: 

The best candidate is a passionate and enthusiastic salesperson who loves to organize and to plan. You are a person who can engage with both our guests within our hotels, the operational teams and your HQ colleagues, someone who wants to make every event the best it possibly can be in an effort to unburden the guest. It’s important that you have an eye for detail and that you can provide creative solutions during challenging situations and identify upselling opportunities to meet targets. You’re certainly not afraid to work under pressure! People describe you as a detail-oriented, organizational pro. And last but not least, you like to work hard, but also play hard, adding your positive energy to the team dynamic.
