RESORT BASED PERMANENT JOBS

Sales and Administration Manager
Start ASAP to 30/04/11 initially with permanent contract after this date

We are looking for a person able to take control of the resort office, involved in all aspects of the business administration but particularly sales and finance in the short term taking day to day responsibility for the business support operation.  We will provide full on-the-job training during the pre-season period and during this time the person will be involved in all the preparations for the next season.

The right candidate will have the drive and enthusiasm to learn and develop their general business skills and will have the opportunity to grow into an integral part of the management team on a permanent basis after the first season. 

The position might suit a recent graduate looking to develop a wide range of general business skills which can only be achieved by working in a small company - you would need to have some post-graduation work experience and most importantly the commercial awareness and drive to succeed and grow with the company.  

We are looking for good French language skills, experience of catered chalets either as a regular ski holidaymaker or in a work environment and a natural ability to lead a team.
