Rainmaker Hospitality

Rainmaker Hospitality is looking for a dynamic, relationship-driven Director of Sales to lead all sales efforts for the Hampton Inn Blue Ash and Home2 Suites Blue Ash. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on building relationships, driving revenue, and leading strategy across both corporate and group segments—while partnering closely with brand revenue leadership to maximize performance.

This position oversees the full sales function, allowing you to take ownership of business development, client relationships, and revenue strategy, while collaborating with operations to deliver exceptional guest experiences.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and drive all sales efforts for both hotels, including corporate, group, and local business segments
  • Actively prospect, solicit, and secure new business through direct outreach, networking, and brand channels
  • Respond to and manage incoming leads (Cvent, MeetingBroker, direct inquiries, etc.)
  • Negotiate rates, manage contracts, and secure deposits and payment details
  • Partner with the brand revenue leader to align on pricing strategy, inventory management, and demand optimization
  • Analyze market trends, pace, and performance to adjust sales strategies and maximize revenue
  • Collaborate with on-property teams to ensure seamless execution from booking through departure
  • Conduct site visits, client meetings, and property tours
  • Maintain accurate records, reporting, and forecasting in brand systems (Delphi, etc.)
  • Participate in leadership discussions to drive performance, accountability, and innovation

What Makes This Role Exciting

  • You’ll lead all aspects of sales across two well-positioned hotels in a strong market
  • You’ll partner directly with revenue management leadership, gaining exposure to pricing and strategy decisions
  • You’ll work in a collaborative, team-based environment—supported, not siloed
  • You’ll have the autonomy to build relationships, prospect business, and create your own success
  • You’ll play a key role in driving performance and positioning both hotels in the market

Growth & Opportunity

At Rainmaker Hospitality, we invest in our people. This role offers:

  • Opportunities for advancement within a growing portfolio
  • Exposure to multi-property and revenue strategy leadership
  • Ongoing training, collaboration, and mentorship
  • A sales culture built on accountability, support, and shared success

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous hotel sales experience (Director of Sales or Senior Sales Manager preferred)
  • Strong ability to prospect, negotiate, and close business
  • Excellent communication, organization, and relationship-building skills
  • Strategic mindset with an understanding of revenue management principles
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of client service
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and results-driven
  • Comfortable working independently while thriving in a team environment

Why Rainmaker Hospitality

We believe great sales come from great people who feel supported, empowered, and excited about what they do. Our motto—Enhanced Service. Exceptional Hospitality.—applies just as much to our team as it does to our guests.

If you’re ready to take ownership of your market, grow your career, and make a real impact, we’d love to meet you.
