The Sales Manager is expected to develop corporate, group, MICE, and leisure business for The Westin Yokohama, maintain strong client relationships, achieve revenue targets, and represent the hotel at sales calls, exhibitions, and networking events. Candidates should have relevant hotel or hospitality sales experience, strong negotiation and presentation skills, commercial awareness, and excellent communication abilities. Business-level Japanese is likely essential, while English proficiency is highly desirable in this international Marriott environment. The role also requires effective collaboration with reservations, events, revenue management, and operations teams, together with professional conduct, accurate reporting, and the ability to work independently in a competitive market.
The Westin Yokohama is a contemporary luxury hotel in Minato Mirai, one of Yokohama's leading business, shopping, and waterfront districts. It is part of Westin Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International's global wellness-focused brand, which promotes the idea of helping guests feel better while travelling through its sleep, nutrition, movement, and wellbeing programmes. The hotel offers approximately 370 guest rooms and suites, restaurants and lounges, meeting facilities, a fitness centre, and spa-related wellness services. Its location provides convenient access to central Yokohama, major corporate offices, convention venues, and Tokyo. As a Marriott property, it operates within an international hospitality network and offers employees exposure to global service standards, corporate accounts, group business, and career opportunities across the wider Marriott portfolio.
Japan offers strong opportunities in hotels, tourism, restaurants, technology, finance, education, and international business, especially in Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, and Okinawa. The culture values punctuality, courtesy, teamwork, attention to detail, and respect for workplace hierarchy. Yokohama provides a more relaxed waterfront lifestyle than Tokyo while remaining highly connected by train. Living costs can be significant, particularly for housing, but public transport is efficient and healthcare is reliable. Foreign employees normally need an appropriate work status, such as Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services, with the employer supporting the Certificate of Eligibility and visa application. A valid passport, employment contract, and suitable qualifications or experience are generally required. Learning Japanese is strongly recommended for daily life and many hospitality roles. Before relocating, candidates should arrange housing, resident registration, health insurance, pension enrollment, and tax procedures.
