Director of Sales

A landmark luxury lifestyle hotel on a vibrant Southern waterfront is seeking a dynamic, strategic, and relationship‑driven Director of Sales to lead its commercial efforts. This property blends high‑end hospitality with immersive entertainment, multiple dining venues, curated retail, and a thriving events scene — creating one of the most distinctive destination experiences in the region. The Director of Sales will be the commercial engine behind this momentum, shaping the sales vision, elevating market presence, and driving revenue across a diverse mix of group, corporate, leisure, and social segments.

This role is ideal for a sales leader who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑visibility environment and understands how to position a luxury lifestyle hotel that offers far more than guestrooms. With multiple restaurants, bars, event spaces, and experiential activations, the property attracts travelers, locals, and groups seeking something beyond the traditional hotel experience. The Director of Sales will have the autonomy to craft strategy, build partnerships, and lead a high‑performing team while collaborating closely with marketing, revenue management, and operations.

• Develop and execute a comprehensive sales strategy that maximizes revenue across group, corporate, leisure, and social markets.
• Identify emerging opportunities, competitive shifts, and market trends to keep the property positioned as a premier destination.
• Partner with revenue management to optimize pricing, forecasting, and channel mix.
• Elevate the property’s presence through proactive outreach, brand partnerships, and community engagement.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key accounts, meeting planners, corporate partners, and luxury travel networks.
• Represent the property at industry events, trade shows, and client activations.
• Create compelling proposals, site experiences, and storytelling that highlight the property’s unique offerings.

• Ensure the sales narrative reflects the property’s identity as a luxury lifestyle destination with entertainment, dining, and cultural programming.
• Collaborate with marketing to align messaging, campaigns, and promotional initiatives.
• Uphold the highest standards of professionalism, guest focus, and brand integrity.

• Strong understanding of group, corporate, and leisure segments, with a track record of driving revenue growth.
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills.
• Ability to lead with vision, motivate teams, and thrive in a dynamic, multi‑venue environment.
• Strategic thinker with a hands‑on approach and a passion for creating memorable guest and client experiences.

• A chance to lead sales for one of the most distinctive and energetic hospitality destinations in the Southeast.
• A property with built‑in demand drivers: entertainment, dining, retail, events, and a prime waterfront location.
• A leadership team that values innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking.
• The opportunity to shape the commercial future of a property that blends luxury hospitality with cultural vibrancy.
