What are the responsibilities and job description for the Leisure Travel Sales Manager (Hotel Partnerships - Texas) position at The Staff Pad?
Travel Industry Sales Manager (Hotel & Agency Partnerships)
The Staff Pad | Texas-Based | Travel Required
The Staff Pad is partnering with a growing organization in the travel and hospitality space to hire a relationship-driven sales professional focused on building partnerships with travel agencies, advisors, and key booking channels.
This is not a traditional “cold calling” sales role.
This is a high-touch, relationship-first position focused on influencing where travel advisors send their business.
What You’ll Do
- Own and grow a defined territory across Texas and surrounding markets
- Build relationships with travel agencies, advisors, and consortia partners
- Influence booking behavior and drive hotel revenue through partnerships
- Conduct in-person visits, trainings, events, and sales presentations
- Represent the brand at industry events, trade shows, and networking functions
- Partner with agency leaders to increase visibility and production
- Analyze performance and identify opportunities to grow market share
- Manage activity and pipeline within CRM
This role is centered around partner engagement, relationship building, and long-term revenue growth—not transactional sales.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–7 years of experience in:
- Hotel sales
- Travel industry sales
- Agency/consortia partnerships
- Hotel sales
- Experience working with:
- Travel advisors
- Leisure or corporate travel agencies
- Hospitality brands or hotel groups
- Travel advisors
- Strong relationship builder—someone who can influence without direct authority
- Comfortable presenting to groups and leading trainings
- Highly self-motivated with the ability to manage a territory independently
- Willingness to travel regularly (this is a field-based role)
What Success Looks Like
- Increased partner engagement and visibility across your territory
- Growth in bookings and revenue from agency channels
- Strong, long-term relationships with key travel partners
- Consistent presence in-market through meetings, events, and trainings
Why This Role
- High-impact, visible position with autonomy
- Relationship-driven (not grindy sales)
- Opportunity to own a territory and build something long-term
- Strong alignment with candidates from hotel sales, travel, or hospitality backgrounds
