You'll lead a talented sales team, represent both hotels at industry events, and play a key role in positioning Aloft Doral and Element Doral as top choices in their respective segments.

• Ensure compliance with Marriott brand standards for Aloft and Element

• Manage sales department budget and expenses

Qualifications:

• Minimum 3–5 years of experience as a Director of Sales & Marketing or Senior Sales Manager in the hotel/hospitality industry
