Hotel Director of Sales

Houston, Texas

Relocation Assistance-Yes

Temp Housing- Yes

Salary: $110K - $125K + Bonus

Position Overview

We're looking for a Director of Sales who loves being in the room where deals happen. This isn't a desk job where you point at a strategy and hope the team runs with it. You'll lead a talented group of four sales professionals, and you'll also carry your own accounts, pick up the phone, and close business yourself.

You'll oversee both Sales and Catering for a full-service hotel with more than 200 rooms and 10,000 square feet of meeting space. If you've built your career on a strong Business Transient (BT) foundation and you know how to keep a property full during the week, this one's worth a look.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the sales strategy for the property and roll up your sleeves to help execute it.
• Actively sell. You'll manage key accounts, prospect new business, and personally drive BT revenue.
• Lead, coach, and support a team of four sales professionals, helping each one grow and hit their goals.
• Oversee both the Sales and Catering functions, keeping the two working closely together.
• Build and protect strong relationships with corporate accounts, travel partners, and repeat clients.
• Keep a close eye on market trends, competitor activity, and rate positioning so the property stays ahead.
• Partner with operations, revenue management, and catering to deliver a smooth experience from booking to check-out.
• Prepare forecasts, track performance, and manage the sales budget with an eye on profitability.

Qualifications

• A proven track record in hotel sales leadership, ideally at a full-service property.
• A strong Business Transient (BT) background. This is non-negotiable for the role.
• Comfort being a working leader who sells alongside the team rather than just directing it.
• Experience overseeing both Sales and Catering is a big plus.
• Genuine leadership skills. You know how to motivate a team and keep people engaged.
• Solid grasp of CRM systems, forecasting, and data-driven decision making.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Willingness to relocate if you're not already local. We'll help make that easier.

Compensation and Benefits

• Salary: $110,000 to $125,000, based on experience.
• Bonus: 10% annual bonus potential.
• Relocation: Relocation assistance offered to help with the move.
• Temporary Housing: Temporary housing provided while you get settled.
