Role: Director of Sales – Offshore Rooftop at Navy Pier, Chicago, IL

Offshore Rooftop is one of Chicago's most iconic high-volume hospitality destinations—where skyline views, curated experiences, group business, and ticketed programming come together to create a powerful, multi-stream revenue engine.

We are seeking a dynamic Director of Sales who operates at the intersection of hospitality, entertainment, and commercial strategy. This is a leadership role for someone who doesn't just manage demand—they create it.

Who You Are

You are a hospitality revenue leader who blends commercial discipline with creative thinking.

• Build demand and convert opportunity at speed
• Operate with urgency, precision, and consistency
• Think in pipeline velocity, pacing, and revenue optimization daily
• Turn experiences into scalable revenue streams
• Thrive in both corporate group sales and high-energy social/event environments
• Lead teams with accountability, energy, and performance standards
• Are equally comfortable closing high-value corporate accounts or high-volume experiential business

What You Own

You are accountable for the full commercial lifecycle of group, event, and experiential revenue:

• Full-cycle sales: lead generation, qualification, conversion, and retention
• Corporate, social, association, and partner channel development
• Pipeline management, forecasting, and revenue pacing discipline
• Ticketed experiences and programming revenue in partnership with operations and marketing
• Proposal development, negotiation, contracting, and deposit capture
• Seamless execution through accurate Banquet Event Orders (BEOs)
• Post-event follow-up, repeat business, and referral growth
• Leadership, coaching, and performance management of the sales team
• Schedule flexibility, including evenings and weekends, aligned with business and event demand

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role is defined by measurable commercial impact:

• Consistent achievement of group and experiential revenue targets
• Strong pipeline visibility with predictable pacing and conversion rates
• Growth in ticketed and non-traditional revenue streams
• Expansion of repeat business and strategic account relationships
• A high-performing, accountable, and motivated sales team
• Strong alignment between sales strategy and operational execution

Why Offshore

This is not a traditional sales role.

At Offshore, you are not selling space—you are building demand, shaping experiences, and driving revenue across multiple streams of business.

This is a rare opportunity to:

• Build and scale a experiential revenue model
• Influence how one of Chicago's most dynamic rooftops monetizes its platform
• Operate at the intersection of hospitality, entertainment, and commerce
• Directly impact top-line revenue in real time
