The Director of Sales is expected to lead Mercure Bangkok Makkasan’s sales strategy, grow corporate, leisure, group and meeting business, and strengthen relationships with key accounts, travel partners and local organizations. Requirements typically include a degree or diploma in hospitality, business or a related field, several years of hotel sales experience, and a strong record in achieving revenue targets. The successful candidate should understand the Bangkok market, be commercially minded, confident in negotiation and presentation, and capable of leading and motivating a sales team. Fluency in English is generally required; Thai language skills and experience with Accor or international hotel systems would be advantageous.
Accor is a major international hospitality group operating hotels, resorts and lifestyle properties across more than 100 countries. Its portfolio includes well-known brands such as Mercure, Novotel, ibis, Pullman, Sofitel and Fairmont, covering economy through luxury segments. Mercure hotels are designed around local character while providing the standards and support of a global network. Mercure Bangkok Makkasan is a city hotel serving business and leisure travelers, with convenient access to Bangkok’s transport links, commercial areas and attractions. Accor places strong emphasis on guest satisfaction, commercial performance, diversity, employee development and responsible tourism. Employees may benefit from structured training, international career mobility, staff rates and opportunities to work across different brands and destinations.
Thailand offers strong opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, sales, wellness, aviation and events, especially in Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi and Pattaya. Bangkok provides the widest professional network and a fast urban lifestyle, while the islands offer a more relaxed setting, beaches, outdoor activities and seasonal tourism work. Thai culture values politeness, respect for hierarchy, hospitality and calm communication; learning basic Thai is warmly appreciated. Living costs vary considerably, with Bangkok and popular islands generally more expensive than provincial areas. Foreign employees normally need an employer-sponsored Non-Immigrant B visa and work permit before starting work. Employers often assist with documentation, though candidates should confirm tax, insurance and relocation benefits. Thailand’s climate is tropical, with a rainy season, and island transport can be less convenient. Research accommodation, healthcare, schooling and visa rules carefully before relocating.
