Sales Manager

The role: Sales Manager

At Via Antwerp, we’re not your typical hotel. We’re a vibrant lifestyle hub in the heart of Zurenborg — where bold design meets warm hospitality, where locals and travelers connect, and where every stay tells a story.

As Sales Manager, you’ll be a driving force behind our commercial success. With the hotel now open and buzzing, this is your opportunity to build on our foundation — expanding our reach, growing our client base, and filling our rooms, meeting spaces, and restaurant seats with the right people: guests who connect with what Via is all about.

This is a role for a go-getter who thrives on building relationships, spotting opportunities, and turning potential into revenue. You’ll work closely with the General Manager and marketing team to strengthen Via Antwerp’s position — not just as a hotel, but as one of the city’s most exciting destinations.

What you’ll do

• Drive revenue growth: Develop and implement proactive sales strategies across rooms, meetings & events, and F&B.

• Expand our network: Identify and secure partnerships with key accounts — from corporate clients to creative agencies, event organizers, and travel partners.

• Be the face of Via Antwerp: Represent the hotel at trade shows, local events, and networking opportunities.

• Manage the sales cycle: From prospecting and pitching to contract negotiation and account management.

• Build community connections: Nurture relationships with local businesses, the travel trade, and influencers to keep Via Antwerp top of mind in the city and beyond.

• Collaborate on campaigns: Work closely with marketing to align promotions, activations, and brand storytelling.

• Track performance: Provide regular reporting and insights to the GM and ownership — monitoring sales activity, results, and market trends.

You’ll be a great fit if you bring the below with you

• A proven track record in hospitality or lifestyle brand sales, ideally in a hotel or travel-related environment.

• Strong network in Antwerp, Belgium, or the Benelux region (or a plan to build one fast).

• Commercially driven with excellent negotiation and communication skills.

• Comfortable working independently and as part of a collaborative team.

• Fluent in English and Dutch — other languages are a bonus.

• Passionate about creative hospitality, local culture, and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

• Excited to be part of a pre-opening team and help build something from scratch.

• Open to freelancers too — let’s talk if this role speaks to you.

What we offer

• A key role in launching one of Antwerp’s most exciting lifestyle hotel concepts.

• The chance to shape the commercial direction of a brand from day one.

• A dynamic, design-driven workplace with space to grow and express your creativity.

• A competitive salary and performance-based incentives.

• A team culture that values passion, connection, and good vibes — in and outside the office.
