Director of Business Development

Director Of Business Development

We're looking for someone to create them. Hotel Royal Oak is looking for a Director of Business Development who knows how to hunt, build relationships, open doors and close business.

We're an independent boutique hotel in the heart of Royal Oak, Michigan, and we're entering our next stage of growth.

We have the rooms. We have the location. We have the bars. We have the event spaces. We have the systems. We have the personality. Now we need the salesperson who can turn all of it into revenue.

If you're looking for a corporate hotel sales position where you inherit a list of accounts, answer RFPs and maintain the status quo, this probably isn't your job. If you're the person who sees a new company opening, a wedding venue, corporate office, production crew, sports tournament, event planner or major event coming to town and immediately thinks "How do I get that business?" Keep reading.

Your mission is to generate new annual business for Hotel Royal Oak. And we're willing to pay you well when you do it. You'll have the freedom and responsibility to build a proactive sales operation focused on:

• Corporate negotiated accounts
• Corporate transient travel
• Group room blocks
• Wedding blocks
• Meetings
• Extended stays
• Project and crew business
• Sports groups
• Entertainment and production
• Private events
• Corporate gatherings
• Venue rentals
• Social events
• Food & beverage events
• Strategic local partnerships

This is a revenue-producing position. Your success won't be measured by how many emails you send or meetings you attend. It will be measured by the business you create.
