White Portico Thekkady is looking for a Business Development Executive who is willing to learn, take responsibility, accept feedback and grow with the organisation.

• Expand and strengthen our network of travel and business partners.
• Promote White Portico Thekkady to relevant markets.
• Generate leads, conduct regular follow-ups and convert opportunities into business.

Reservations & Sales

• Handle room, package and other booking enquiries.
• Manage enquiries received through phone, WhatsApp, email and other channels.
• Follow up with prospective guests and partners to improve conversion.
• Upsell rooms, packages, experiences and other available services.
• Coordinate with the reservations, front office and operations teams to ensure smooth execution of bookings.

Sales & Revenue Growth

• Take active responsibility for increasing sales, occupancy and overall revenue.

• Maintain consistent and professional communication with existing partners.
• Understand market requirements and identify new opportunities.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We value attitude, commitment and learning ability as much as experience.

The ideal candidate should be:

• Energetic and proactive
• Ambitious and goal-oriented
• Willing to learn and continuously improve
• Coachable and open to feedback
• A confident and effective communicator
• Good at building professional relationships
• Comfortable taking ownership and responsibility
• Adaptable to the dynamic nature of hospitality
• Focused on achieving measurable results

Previous experience in hotel sales, reservations, hospitality, travel or tourism will be an advantage.

THIS ROLE REQUIRES COMMITMENT

Hospitality is not a conventional 9-to-5 industry. Guest requirements, enquiries, reservations and business opportunities can arise at different times.

We are looking for someone who understands the importance of flexibility, ownership and commitment.

If you are looking for a position where you simply complete your working hours, this may not be the right opportunity.

If you are looking for an opportunity to learn, take responsibility, build your skills and grow alongside a growing hospitality business, we would like to hear from you.

Pay: ₹12,000.00 - ₹30,000.00 per month
