Sales Manager

Be the Founding Architect of a Brand-New Hyatt Story in Kamloops

There are sales careers, and then there are once-in-a-career opportunities. This is the latter. Hyatt Place Kamloops is opening its doors for the first time, and we are searching for a commercially minded, relationship-driven sales professional to help write the very first chapter of its success story. This is not a role of maintaining what exists - it is a role of building what does not exist yet.

Kamloops itself is a city on the rise: a thriving hub in the heart of British Columbia's Interior, framed by dramatic high desert hills, two meeting rivers, and a four-season playground of golf courses, mountain biking trails, ski hills, and wine country just beyond the city limits. It is a city of conferences, sports tournaments, government business, and tourism - a market rich with untapped opportunity for the right person to seize.

Your

Opportunity

As the commercial architect of this pre-opening property, you will be the face of Hyatt Place Kamloops long before the ribbon is cut. You will introduce the brand to a city that has never experienced it, forge the relationships that will anchor years of future business, and shape the market position of a property that will carry your fingerprints for years to come.

• Develop and execute the hotel's pre-opening sales strategy alongside brand and property leadership
• Establish Hyatt Place Kamloops as a fixture of the local and regional business community
• Build early market awareness and demand through proactive outreach, networking, and community engagement
• Collaborate with Hyatt leadership on positioning, strategy, and launch events
• Prospect, solicit, negotiate, and close new business across corporate, government, sports, and tour segments
• Conduct client meetings, sales calls, presentations, and site tours that convert prospects into partners
• Respond to RFPs and negotiate contracts that build lasting revenue streams
• Provide guidance and support to the Sales Coordinator as part of a collaborative commercial team
• Partner closely with Revenue Management and Operations to achieve shared goals
• Build and maintain a portfolio of key accounts, while monitoring market trends and competitor movement
• Leverage Hyatt's global sales tools and network to maximize opportunity

What You Bring

• Minimum three years of hotel sales experience with a track record of progressive responsibility
• Demonstrated success in new business development and account management
• A strong command of corporate, group, government, and leisure market segments
• Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills
• The confidence to work independently and manage competing priorities with poise
• Comfort with hotel sales and CRM platforms
• A valid driver's license and the willingness to travel locally for sales activity

Added Advantages

• Previous Sales Manager experience
• A history of market development work
• Familiarity with the Kamloops and Interior British Columbia markets
• Experience with Hyatt or another major hotel brand
• Post-secondary education in Hospitality, Marketing, or a related discipline

Why Hyatt Place Kamloops

This is a rare invitation: to help launch a hotel, shape a market, and build a career narrative that begins with "I was there from day one." You'll do it in a city celebrated for its sunshine, its outdoor lifestyle, and its growing stature as a business and leisure destination in British Columbia's Interior. Bring your ambition. We'll bring the blank canvas.
