Travel Industry Sales Manager (Hotel & Agency Partnerships)

The Staff Pad | Texas-Based | Travel Required

The Staff Pad is partnering with a growing organization in the travel and hospitality space to hire a relationship-driven sales professional focused on building partnerships with travel agencies, advisors, and key booking channels.

This is not a traditional “cold calling” sales role.

This is a high-touch, relationship-first position focused on influencing where travel advisors send their business.

• Own and grow a defined territory across Texas and surrounding markets
• Build relationships with travel agencies, advisors, and consortia partners
• Influence booking behavior and drive hotel revenue through partnerships
• Conduct in-person visits, trainings, events, and sales presentations
• Represent the brand at industry events, trade shows, and networking functions
• Partner with agency leaders to increase visibility and production
• Analyze performance and identify opportunities to grow market share
• Manage activity and pipeline within CRM

This role is centered around partner engagement, relationship building, and long-term revenue growth —not transactional sales.

3–7+ years of experience in:

• Travel industry sales
• Agency/consortia partnerships

Experience working with:

• Hospitality brands or hotel groups
• Strong relationship builder—someone who can influence without direct authority
• Comfortable presenting to groups and leading trainings
• Highly self-motivated with the ability to manage a territory independently
• Willingness to travel regularly (this is a field-based role)

• Increased partner engagement and visibility across your territory
• Growth in bookings and revenue from agency channels
• Strong, long‑term relationships with key travel partners
• Consistent presence in-market through meetings, events, and trainings

• High‑impact, visible position with autonomy
• Relationship‑driven (not grindy sales)
• Opportunity to own a territory and build something long‑term
• Strong alignment with candidates from hotel sales, travel, or hospitality backgrounds
