SALES MANAGER – CAMBRIDGEIs selling in your DNA? Have you got a knack for unearthing leads and turning them into loyal customers? Do you thrive on building and nurturing relationships? You’d be at the sales-helm of our Cambridge region of Locke properties when it’s most exciting, as we combine stabilising open properties with launching new buildings across the region. Reporting to the Senior Director Sales – UK and Ireland, you’ll take ownership of key pre-opening planning as well as ongoing sales activity, using your local knowledge and networking prowess to develop profitable, sustainable business. This role is based 5 days a week on property. 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. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part.
