Salary to $120,000

Are you ready to take the lead in a high-impact sales role in one of Philly's most dynamic and strategically positioned markets? We are seeking a driven, strategic, and relationship-focused Director of Sales to lead the sales function for a Select Service hotel in Philadelphia, PA

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

Positioned in a high traffic market, this hotel offers access to strong corporate demand, group business, and year-round travel activity. You will have the autonomy to refine strategy, expand market share, and strengthen key partnerships, all while working with a supportive ownership group valuing performance and initiative.

This is more than selling rooms and meeting space. This is building onto a high-performing revenue engine.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and execute the hotel's overall sales strategy across corporate, group, and transient segments

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

Build and maintain strong relationships with corporate clients, meeting planners, associations, and local partners

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 megan.black@geckohospitality.com
