The Sales Manager is expected to drive room, meeting, and event revenue for Courtyard by Marriott Okinawa Resort. Responsibilities typically include developing corporate and leisure accounts, responding to inquiries, conducting client visits, preparing proposals, negotiating contracts, maintaining customer relationships, and coordinating with hotel operations. Candidates should have hotel sales experience, strong communication and negotiation skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to meet revenue targets. Japanese business proficiency is likely essential, while English and experience with international guests are advantageous. The role requires good organization, presentation ability, teamwork, flexibility, and willingness to attend client meetings or travel locally. Familiarity with Okinawa’s tourism and group business market would be beneficial.
Courtyard by Marriott Okinawa Resort is part of Marriott International, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies, with a global portfolio of hotels and resorts across numerous brands. Courtyard is designed for business and leisure travelers, combining practical accommodation, dining, meeting facilities, and friendly service. The Okinawa resort serves domestic and international visitors exploring the island’s beaches, culture, and attractions. Employees generally work in a structured international hospitality environment with opportunities to collaborate across departments and develop within the wider Marriott network. Marriott emphasizes guest satisfaction, integrity, inclusion, teamwork, and professional development. The property’s sales team supports room revenue, corporate accounts, groups, meetings, travel partners, and local tourism demand.
Japan is an island nation with opportunities in hospitality, tourism, technology, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and services. Okinawa offers a warm subtropical lifestyle, beaches, outdoor activities, and a relaxed pace, although housing and transport can be more limited than in major mainland cities. Japanese workplace culture values punctuality, teamwork, respect, and careful communication. English is useful in international hotels, but Japanese ability significantly improves career prospects and daily life. Foreign employees normally need an appropriate work visa sponsored by an employer; requirements depend on the position, qualifications, and nationality. Relocating involves arranging accommodation, residence registration, health insurance, banking, and potentially a driving license. Okinawa has airports and ferry links, but travel to mainland Japan can be costly. Candidates should confirm visa sponsorship, relocation support, housing, overtime, and benefits before accepting an offer.
