• Solid understanding of hotel revenue drivers, digital marketing levers, and distribution dynamics
• Comfortable with data and able to synthesize performance from sources like Google Analytics, Opera, SynXis, Duetto, and STR
• Skilled at cross-functional influence—able to rally teams and move initiatives forward without direct authority
• Clear, confident communicator who can navigate from property teams to the C-suite
• Willing to travel for site visits up to 2x/month
