The Sales Manager will develop and manage business for Sheraton Kagoshima, building relationships with corporate clients, travel agencies, meeting planners and other partners. Responsibilities typically include identifying new sales opportunities, maintaining key accounts, preparing proposals, conducting property tours, meeting revenue targets and coordinating with reservations, events and hotel operations. Candidates should have hospitality or hotel sales experience, strong communication and negotiation skills, business-level Japanese and practical English ability, and confidence using sales and office systems. The role requires a customer-focused attitude, professional presentation, teamwork, flexibility and the ability to work toward measurable commercial results.
Sheraton Kagoshima is a Marriott International hotel located in Kagoshima, southern Kyushu, close to Kagoshima-Chuo Station and overlooking the city and Sakurajima area. The property offers guest rooms, restaurants and bars, meeting and event facilities, a spa, fitness amenities and services for both leisure and business travelers. Sheraton is one of Marriott International’s globally recognized full-service hotel brands, designed around social spaces, comfortable stays and community connections. Employees benefit from working within Marriott’s international hospitality network, with structured service standards, training opportunities and potential career mobility across hotels and destinations. The Kagoshima property serves domestic Japanese guests as well as international visitors and supports tourism, conferences, corporate travel and local events.
Japan offers hospitality, tourism, restaurant, technology and international business opportunities, especially in cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka and Kagoshima. Kagoshima, on Kyushu, has a relaxed pace, lower living costs than Tokyo and easy access to beaches, hot springs, mountains and nearby islands, including Yakushima and Sakurajima. Japanese workplace culture values punctuality, respect, teamwork, attention to detail and reliable customer service. Daily life is safe and convenient, with excellent public transport, though Japanese language ability is highly useful outside major international workplaces. Foreign applicants generally need an employer-sponsored work visa, commonly the Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services category for hotel sales roles. Candidates should secure a written offer, confirm visa eligibility, arrange housing and obtain a residence card after arrival. Moving costs, deposits and initial furnishings should be planned carefully.
