Director of Sales — Double Tree by Hilton New Orleans Airport

Full‑Service Hilton | High‑Volume Airport Market | Senior Leadership Role

Location: Kenner, LA

Employment Type: Full‑Time | Exempt

The Double Tree by Hilton New Orleans Airport isn’t a quiet property — it’s a high‑energy, high‑volume, full‑service hotel in one of the most competitive airport markets in the South. Corporate travelers, airline crews, sports groups, conventions, government, associations — this hotel sees it all.

We’re searching for a fearless, relationship‑driven, strategy‑obsessed Director of Sales who knows how to dominate a market, build powerful partnerships, and lead a sales team with integrity and fire.

If you thrive on winning business, building influence, and being the face of a major Hilton property
, this is your stage.

This isn’t a “manage the inbox” sales job. This is a take‑the‑wheel, drive‑the‑strategy, own‑the‑market leadership role.

• Command the sales strategy across corporate, group, airline, government, SMERF, and association segments
• Build a pipeline that never sleeps through off‑site sales calls, client visits, and community presence
• Lead a high‑performing sales team with clarity, accountability, and integrity
• Represent the Double Tree brand at trade shows, industry events, and major networking opportunities
• Partner with Revenue Management to maximize group blocks, pricing, and total hotel revenue
• Build long‑term relationships with meeting planners, corporate decision‑makers, and key market influencers
• Drive forecasting, budgeting, and competitive analysis with precision

This role is for someone who loves the chase, loves the close, and loves leading people to big wins
.

You’re not new to this. You’re a seasoned hotel sales leader who knows how to move a full‑service property forward.

You have:

• 3–5+ years of hotel sales leadership experience (full‑service or high‑volume required)
• A proven track record in corporate, group, and airline/airport segments
• Strong forecasting, budgeting, and analytical skills
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship‑building abilities
• Valid driver’s license, clean MVR, reliable vehicle, and active auto insurance
• The ability to travel locally for sales calls, client meetings, and community events
• Flexibility for occasional evenings/weekends for events or client needs
• Hilton system experience (Delphi, CI/TY, OnQ) is a plus

You lead with integrity
, you operate with urgency
, and you show up with presence
.

• Competitive salary + performance‑based bonus
• Full benefits package
• Hilton travel perks
• Career growth within A&A Hospitality Group
• A leadership seat at a high‑visibility, high‑impact hotel

This is a role where your work is seen, your wins matter, and your leadership shapes the hotel’s future
.

If you’re a bold, strategic, people‑focused sales leader ready to elevate a full‑service Hilton property, we want to talk.
