The Senior Sales Manager is expected to drive hotel revenue by developing corporate, leisure, group and event business, maintaining strong relationships with travel partners and key accounts, and achieving agreed sales targets. The role typically requires proven hotel sales experience, excellent communication and negotiation skills, knowledge of the local and international travel markets, and confidence using sales and property-management systems. Fluency in English is generally expected, while Thai language skills and an established network in Thailand are valuable. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, well presented, proactive, organised and comfortable travelling for client visits, sales calls, trade events and inspections. Experience with Marriott or another international hotel group would be an advantage.
Marriott International is one of the world's largest hotel companies, operating a broad portfolio of international brands across more than 140 countries and territories. Le Méridien is Marriott's design-focused, culturally inspired brand, created for travellers who enjoy art, discovery, food and a strong sense of place. Le Méridien Chiang Rai Resort, Thailand is an upscale resort in northern Thailand, located near the Kok River and within easy reach of Chiang Rai's temples, markets and cultural attractions. The property serves leisure travellers, groups, weddings, corporate clients and international tour markets. Employees typically work within Marriott's service standards, commercial systems and professional development framework, while supporting a relaxed resort experience shaped by northern Thai culture and hospitality.
Thailand offers strong hospitality, tourism and sales opportunities on Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Chang, especially in resorts, restaurants, travel companies, wellness businesses and events. Chiang Rai is inland rather than an island, with a quieter lifestyle, lower living costs and a strong cultural identity shaped by Lanna traditions. Island living brings beaches, outdoor activities and a social international community, but also seasonal employment, higher rents and occasional transport or weather disruption. Thai food, respectful communication, modest dress at temples and an easygoing approach to time are important parts of daily life. Foreign employees normally need a Non-Immigrant B visa and a Thai work permit arranged with employer support; working on a tourist visa is not permitted. Check current immigration rules before relocating, and budget for housing, insurance and local transport.
