Senior Leisure Business Development Manager – Resorts & All-Inclusive (Southeast)

The Staff Pad has partnered with a global hospitality leader to identify a Senior Leisure Business Development Manager focused on All-Inclusive & Resort properties. This is a high-impact, relationship-driven role within the travel trade space—ideal for someone who thrives in face-to-face selling, partnership development, and driving revenue through travel advisors and wholesale channels.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Represent a premium portfolio of all-inclusive and resort properties across Mexico & the Caribbean
  
• Highly visible, field-based role with strong autonomy
  
• Opportunity to build and grow key travel trade relationships
  
• Blend of strategic sales + in-market activation (events, trainings, FAMs)
  
• Travel-focused role (~40%) with exposure to top destinations
  
  

What You’ll Do

• Build and grow relationships with travel advisors, consortia, and wholesale partners
  
• Drive revenue through in-person meetings, events, trainings, and trade shows
  
• Deliver compelling sales presentations and product storytelling that bring resort experiences to life
  
• Partner with wholesalers on joint initiatives, campaigns, and activations
  
• Educate travel partners on key selling points, guest profiles, and differentiators
  
• Analyze account performance, identify opportunities, and drive strategic growth
  
• Act as the go-to expert for the resort & all-inclusive portfolio
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5+ years in hospitality, travel, or leisure sales
  
• Experience working with travel advisors, consortia, or wholesale partners
  
• Strong relationship builder with a consultative sales approach
  
• Confident presenter with the ability to influence and engage audiences
  
• Knowledge of Mexico & Caribbean resort markets preferred
  
• Ability to manage a territory and travel regularly (~40%)
  
• Based in or near Atlanta with access to a major airport
  
  

Who You Are

• Naturally outgoing, relationship-driven, and polished
  
• Thrive in a field-based, high-energy sales environment
  
• Strategic thinker who can also execute day-to-day sales activity
  
• Passionate about travel, hospitality, and creating experiences
