Manage group blocks from contract through pickup: rooming lists, cut-off dates, attrition tracking, and post-stay billing reconciliation.

Coordinate meeting room and small catering business where the property offers function space; serve as the on-property contact from booking through execution.

Maintain accurate account, contact, and booking data in CI/TY; deliver weekly pace and production reports to the GM and ADOS.

Represent the property at local industry events: NOMCVB (New Orleans & Company), HSMAI New Orleans Chapter, MPI Gulf States, local Chamber of Commerce, and travel industry trade shows.

Monitor STR reports, comp set performance, and market trends; adjust sales strategy accordingly.

Support GSS and Bonvoy goals through warm handoffs to the front office team and post-stay follow-up with key accounts.

Operate within the approved sales and entertainment budget.

Required Qualifications

Minimum 2 years of hotel sales experience, with at least 1 year at a Marriott-branded property (City Express, Fairfield Inn, SpringHill Suites, Courtyard, TownePlace Suites, Residence Inn, or similar select-service brand strongly preferred).

Working knowledge of Marriott sales systems: CI/TY, MarRFP, MGS, and SFAWeb|CI.

Demonstrated track record of meeting or exceeding individual revenue and room-night goals.

Strong prospecting, negotiation, and closing skills.

High school diploma or GED required; bachelor's degree in Hospitality, Business, Marketing, or related field preferred.
