Business Development Manager

E Noa Corporation | Honolulu, Hawaii

E Noa is looking for a Business Development Manager to help grow our relationships and business opportunities across Hawaiʻi’s hospitality and tourism industry.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, creating partnerships, finding new opportunities, and being out in the community. You’ll work closely with hotels, resorts, concierge teams, travel partners, businesses, and other tourism-related organizations to introduce E Noa’s transportation and tour experiences and develop long-term partnerships.

This is more than a traditional sales role. We’re looking for someone who can connect with people, understand their needs, identify opportunities, and turn relationships into long-term business partnerships.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and maintain relationships with hotels, resorts, concierge teams, travel agencies, businesses, and tourism partners
• Identify new business opportunities and potential partnership opportunities across Oʻahu
• Meet with existing and prospective partners in person to build strong working relationships
• Introduce and promote E Noa’s tours, transportation services, and other guest experiences
• Develop partnerships that increase bookings, referrals, and revenue
• Work with partners to understand their needs and identify ways E Noa can support their guests and customers
• Create and maintain a pipeline of prospective business partners
• Follow up with prospective and existing partners and track relationship development
• Coordinate with internal teams to ensure our partners and their guests receive excellent service
• Attend hospitality, tourism, networking, and community events when appropriate
• Help identify opportunities for new packages, promotions, partnerships, and revenue streams
• Monitor industry and tourism trends and identify opportunities for E Noa
• Provide regular updates on business development activities, partnerships, and opportunities to leadership
• Represent E Noa professionally and positively throughout the local hospitality and tourism community

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is personable, proactive, confident, and relationship-driven.

The ideal candidate:

• Has experience in business development, hospitality, tourism, hotel sales, partnerships, account management, or a related field
• Is comfortable meeting and communicating with people at all levels
• Builds genuine, long-term relationships rather than focusing only on making a sale
• Is confident making introductions, setting meetings, and developing new partnerships
• Is self-motivated and able to work independently
• Has strong communication and follow-up skills
• Is organized and able to manage multiple relationships and opportunities at once
• Understands the importance of guest service and representing a local brand
• Enjoys being out in the community and meeting with businesses and industry partners
• Has a strong understanding of Hawaiʻi’s hospitality and tourism industry or is eager to learn it

Experience That Could Be a Great Fit

We encourage candidates with backgrounds such as:

• Hotel or resort sales
• Hospitality business development
• Tourism or travel
• Concierge relations
• Group sales
• Corporate partnerships
• Account management
• Destination management
• Event or convention sales
• Travel agency relationships
• Transportation or tour operations
• Local business partnerships
• Community or tourism networking

We are also open to candidates with strong relationship-building and business development experience who may be coming from another industry.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means building a strong network of hospitality and tourism partners and creating long-term business relationships that generate new opportunities for E Noa.

You’ll be expected to develop new relationships while also maintaining and strengthening our existing partnerships.
