The 25hours Hotel The Olympia is the first 25hours in Australia, located in the vibrant suburb of Paddington in Sydney. The building itself was formerly a popular cinema, which opened in 1911 and reflects its rich history throughout the guest experience.
The hotel has 109 rooms on six floors and will feature event and meeting areas, a Levantine restaurant, a street café, and a rooftop bar with a view of the Sydney City Skyline. A new era awaits at the 25hours Hotel The Olympia which will shape and transform Paddington, welcoming a vibrant and diverse team, bringing its vision to life.
COME AS YOU ARE & SHOW US YOUR VISION …
At 25hours, we don’t just provide a stay, we create an experience. s our Business Development Manager, you’ll be at the front line of that mission, playing a key role in generating business, building partnerships, and turning leads into long-term relationships.
Working closely with the General Manager and revenue team, you’ll champion everything that makes 25hours different — from our vibrant hotel spaces to our buzzing restaurants and cultural programming — making sure we’re top-of-mind for clients, agencies, and collaborators across Sydney and beyond.
This is your daily contribution to make 25hours the most talked-about destination...
- Drive new business across key segments — corporate, MICE, leisure, consortia, and entertainment — keeping the pipeline fresh and future-focused.
- Proactively seek out sales opportunities, from cold calls and site inspections to networking events and industry showcases.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with travel buyers, agents, event planners, and local businesses.
- Develop tailored proposals, pitch creative ideas, and close deals that deliver both revenue and memorable guest experiences.
- Collaborate with the marketing and F&B teams on activations, packages, and experiences that drive interest and conversions.
- Represent 25hours at industry events, trade shows, and community gatherings — always flying the flag for the brand.
- Stay ahead of trends in travel, hospitality, and lifestyle to keep your sales strategy current and compelling.
- Manage key accounts and long-term partnerships with care, ensuring retention and repeat business.
- Contribute to forecasts, reporting, and analysis to track performance and uncover new opportunities.
- Bring the 25hours spirit into every pitch, meeting, and deal — bold, authentic, and always a little unexpected.
We are looking for you – with personality and that certain something:
- Proven track record in sales or business development within hospitality, lifestyle, or creative industries.
- You know how to connect with people, whether it’s a boardroom presentation or a casual coffee with a client.
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to identify opportunities and turn leads into wins.
- Experience in the Sydney market is a must — you know the city, the players, and the pulse of the industry.
- Pre-opening or new-launch experience is a plus — you understand the hustle and the opportunity that comes with building a pipeline from scratch.
- You’re a great storyteller, communicator, and relationship-builder who thrives in a collaborative, high-energy environment
- You’re creative, curious, and not afraid to do things differently — the 25hours way.
- You're up for trying (almost) everything once and having fun along the way.
What’s in it for you…
- Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that’s committed to not just building new hotels but building a global brand.
- The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
- Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences and building a portfolio of brands.
- A competitive package and plenty of opportunity for development.
