Commercial Director - Amsterdam

For over fifty years, Hotel Okura Amsterdam has stood as a beacon of elegance, where Eastern refinement meets Western sophistication. But what if we told you that we’re about to open a new chapter? A thrilling phase where heritage and future converge — and you could play a pivotal role in shaping it.

We’re looking for a Commercial Director who not only wants to make an impact, but also be part of something greater: a moment of redefinition at the heart of international luxury hospitality. Ready to build what’s next, while strengthening what makes us unique? Then we’d love to meet you.

What will you do?

As Commercial Director, you’ll lead the way in reinforcing and expanding our commercial impact. From our award-winning restaurants (Ciel Bleu, Yamazato, Sazanka, and Serre) to luxurious rooms, conference spaces, bars, and wellness — you’ll oversee the full spectrum and identify where new opportunities lie.

You will head the Sales, Groups & Events, Revenue & Business Performance, and Reservations departments. A close partnership with the Director of Marketing & Branding is essential — together, you’ll drive a consistent, creative, and results-oriented commercial strategy. You report directly to the General Manager and serve as a key member of the Management Team.

Your mission includes:

• Developing and executing profitable, data-driven strategies across all business units

• Expanding market presence, visibility, and revenue — both locally and globally

• Aligning Sales, Revenue, Distribution, and Operations for seamless integration

• Maximising direct bookings through smart channel management and key partnerships (OTAs, GDS, LHW, consortia)

• Leveraging market data, trends, and KPIs to inform strategic decisions

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with top clients and stakeholders

• Ensuring consistent, brand-aligned commercial messaging in collaboration with Marketing

What do we offer?

• A one-year contract with the prospect of a permanent position

• Competitive salary aligned with your experience and responsibilities

• Bonus: 3 months’ salary upon achieving set goals

• 8% holiday allowance and 25 vacation days

• Additional pension scheme via Nationale Nederlanden

• Complimentary overnight stays at Hotel Okura Amsterdam

• 50% employee discount across all F&B outlets year-round

• Commuting allowance from 10 km one-way

• Complimentary dry-cleaning and in-house staff meals

• On-site parking in the hotel’s private garage

• Company mobile phone, iPad, and laptop

Who are you?

• An experienced commercial leader in luxury hospitality, with a strong affinity for both Sales and Revenue Management

• A strategic thinker with decisiveness, flair, and vision

• A data-driven team player who inspires others and delivers tangible results

• Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus

• Comfortable managing complex projects and seeing them through to success
