The Assistant Sales Manager supports the hotel’s sales strategy by developing client relationships, generating business, managing accounts and assisting with sales calls, proposals, site inspections and negotiations. The role typically requires hospitality or sales experience, strong communication and presentation skills, commercial awareness, and confidence using hotel sales systems and Microsoft Office. Experience in a hotel, resort or corporate sales environment is preferred. The successful candidate is expected to meet revenue and room-night targets, maintain accurate account records, understand local and international markets, and work closely with revenue management, events, reservations and operations teams. Professionalism, teamwork, flexibility, cultural awareness and a proactive approach to securing new business are essential.

The United Arab Emirates is a federation of seven emirates rather than an island, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi offering the largest hospitality and tourism job markets. Opportunities are available in hotels, restaurants, events, airlines, retail, entertainment and luxury services. The culture is multicultural and generally respectful, while Islamic traditions influence public behaviour, dress and holidays. Dubai offers beaches, shopping, dining, desert excursions and an active international lifestyle, although rent and transport can be expensive. Employers normally sponsor an employment visa, residence permit, medical examination and Emirates ID for eligible overseas hires; employees should not work on a tourist visa. Confirm who pays visa, insurance, flights and accommodation costs before accepting an offer. Bring attested qualifications where required and budget for deposits, housing and initial living expenses.
