    This is an opportunity for a sales leader who wants to build their team, influence outcomes, shape strategy, and drive meaningful revenue growth, working from a solid current book of business.


    Why This Role Stands Out

    Drive revenue growth through proactive prospecting, account development, and strategic positioning

    Collaborate closely with the General Manager and operations team to ensure seamless event execution and client satisfaction

    Identify and reactivate past accounts while developing new revenue channels

    Oversee sales forecasting, budgeting, contracting, and reporting with accuracy and discipline

    Represent the hotel within the Philadelphia business community, including local networking events, CVB initiatives, and industry functions

    Utilize market data, STR reports, and competitive analysis to inform strategy and maximize profitability



    What We’re Looking For

    5+ years of progressive hotel sales experience, preferably within a full-service or branded hotel environment

    Proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop a sales team while driving measurable results

    Strong background in revenue strategy, forecasting, and budgeting

    A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities

    Excellent communication, presentation, and negotiation skills

    Bachelor’s degree in hospitality, business, or related field preferred

    Experience with hotel sales systems, CRM platforms, and reporting tools



    Compensation & Benefits

    Base salary up to $120,000

    Health, dental, and vision insurance

    401(k)

    Paid time off

    Hotel and travel discounts

    Supportive leadership team with a company focused on growth and development.



    Take the Next Step

    If you are a results-driven sales leader ready to make an impact in a high-demand Philadelphia market, we want to hear from you.


    Step into a role where your strategy drives performance, your relationships fuel growth, and your leadership shape the future of the hotel. Send your resume today to
