Exceptional Hospitality Starts with You

Picture yourself brightening someone’s day. When you join our Hotels team, that’s exactly what you’ll do every time you come to work! As an Area Director of Sales, you’re not just driving the hotel’s group revenue strategy – you’re spreading the light and warmth of hospitality by delivering memorable experiences that make the stay for every guest.

Here’s what you’ll do during a typical day:

• Drive commercial performance: Develop and implement business strategies that contribute to Rooms, Catering, and Event revenue streams, ensuring alignment with the hotel’s broader commercial objectives
• Set and optimize pricing approach: Collaborate with commercial leadership to establish group pricing and rate strategies that maximize revenue and competitive market share
• Develop data-driven sales strategies: Use performance metrics, demand forecasts, and competitive insights to shape sales plans, adjust deployment and mix strategies, and align activity with revenue goals and market conditions
• Foster stakeholder relationships: Engage with Hilton Worldwide Sales, Convention and Visitors Bureaus (CVBs), third-party travel partners, and key clients to drive demand, improve conversion, and support high-impact site visits and pre-convention meetings
• Lead business reviews and planning: Facilitate regular strategy and performance meetings while contributing to long-range commercial planning through analysis of performance trends, market shifts, and revenue opportunities
• Cultivate a high-performing team: Recruit new talent while driving team growth and engagement through performance management, professional development, and recognition programs
