About This Role
This is a relationship-selling role inside a luxury serviced-residence business, where your real product is trust as much as accommodation. You would be courting embassies, NGOs, multinationals and executive travel planners rather than walk-in guests, so the job sits at the intersection of hospitality and corporate business development. Altera positions itself around discretion and elite service, which means the company's reputation rides on how you represent it to a small, high-stakes client base.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The 1–3 year band signals an employer willing to develop someone rather than buy a finished rainmaker — but they still expect you to already be comfortable in professional, often foreign, company. The profile being sought is less a hard closer than a credible, polished representative who can hold a room with a diplomat's assistant or an NGO logistics officer and follow through on details. Expect them to weigh presentation, spoken English and reliability heavily, because in this segment a single careless interaction can cost a long-stay contract.
How to Approach This Application
Lead with any exposure to corporate accounts, hospitality, travel, events or international organisations — even indirect experience counts more here than raw sales volume figures. Your application itself is a sample of your client-facing manner: keep it clean, well-written and precise, and be ready to discuss how you would build a pipeline of institutional clients from scratch. They will likely prioritise discretion, follow-up discipline and the ability to communicate fluently with expatriate decision-makers.
Who This Role Suits
Best suited to a well-presented early-career salesperson who is patient with long relationship cycles and comfortable in a formal, service-driven environment. Competition is likely moderate, but the shortlist will be narrow because fit and presentation matter as much as experience.
