The client is expanding into a new hotel and group accommodations line of business tied to large-scale events and destination travel. We are seeking an experienced hotel and group travel professional to help build and scale this business from the ground up.

This role is ideal for someone with prior experience as a corporate hotel facilitator, group accommodations manager, or travel agent who has negotiated and managed large hotel blocks across multiple markets. This position will work with and report to the CEO directly, and play a key role in designing, executing, and scaling this new line of business together.

This is a hands-on, entrepreneurial role for someone who understands the hotel ecosystem deeply and wants to help build something meaningful rather than step into a fully formed department.

This position can start part-time and hours can be flexible. The hope is that this will develop into a full time position, but that is not mandatory.
