SALES MANAGER – LOCKE CANARY WHARF Is selling in your DNA? Do you have a knack for unearthing leads and turning them into loyal customers? Thrive on building and nurturing lasting relationships? You’ll be a key part of the sales team for our newest Locke property in Canary Wharf — just about to launch and poised to make its mark. Reporting to the Director of Sales, you’ll support the property’s market introduction, helping to build early awareness, strengthen its positioning, and convert pre-opening interest into long-term business. Your focus will be on generating demand, engaging potential customers, and contributing to strong commercial momentum from day one. This is a hands-on, on-property role, based five days a week, supporting the sales drive during this exciting launch phase. THE STAGE IS SET The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. This is our backdrop.
