The Sales Manager is responsible for developing hotel business, managing corporate and group accounts, promoting guest rooms, meetings, events, and related services, and achieving revenue targets. The role typically requires experience in hotel sales, business development, account management, or a similar hospitality position. Strong communication, negotiation, presentation, and relationship-building skills are expected. Business-level Japanese is important, while English ability is highly beneficial in an international luxury hotel. The successful candidate should be commercially aware, organized, confident meeting clients, comfortable preparing proposals and reports, and able to work collaboratively with rooms, food and beverage, events, and revenue teams. Flexibility, professional presentation, and a genuine commitment to luxury guest service are also expected.
The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka is a luxury hotel operated by Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies. Located in Fukuoka, a major commercial and cultural center on Japan’s Kyushu island, the hotel combines Ritz-Carlton’s highly personalized service standards with contemporary design inspired by the region’s history, crafts, and culture. It serves leisure travelers, business guests, weddings, meetings, and international visitors, with luxury accommodation, restaurants, lounges, wellness facilities, and event spaces. Marriott provides employees with opportunities to work within a global hotel network, access learning and career-development programs, and potentially move between properties and brands internationally. Employees are expected to deliver refined service, protect the brand’s standards, work effectively across departments, and create memorable experiences for guests and clients.
Japan offers strong opportunities in hospitality, tourism, technology, education, manufacturing, and international business. Fukuoka is especially attractive for hotel and service professionals because it is a growing regional business hub with lower living costs than Tokyo and excellent transport links. Japanese workplaces value punctuality, teamwork, respect, attention to detail, and polite communication. Daily life is safe and convenient, with reliable public transport, excellent food, seasonal festivals, and easy access to beaches, mountains, and historic towns. Most foreign employees need an employer-sponsored work visa; hospitality roles commonly use an Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status, depending on duties and qualifications. Applicants should confirm sponsorship, language requirements, salary, housing support, tax, insurance, and relocation assistance before accepting an offer. A residence card, registered address, bank account, and health insurance enrollment are normally required after arrival. Learning practical Japanese greatly improves workplace integration and everyday life.
