Sales Task Force Manager

General Hotels Corporation is looking for a Hotel Sales Task Force Manager to support the sales team.

The Hotel Sales Task Force Manager is a results-driven, highly adaptable sales professional responsible for providing immediate, short-term sales leadership and business development at properties experiencing staffing transitions, rapid market shifts, or performance gaps.

This role requires a proactive "hunter" mentality to step seamlessly into a property, assess local market conditions, stabilize key accounts, and aggressively drive revenue across corporate, group, and extended-stay segments.

This position requires heavy travel and the ability to rapidly deploy a property within our management portfolio.

• Drive immediate room night and catering revenue to meet or exceed monthly property budgets.
• Conduct aggressive outbound sales activities, including high-volume cold calling, local networking, property tours, and outside sales calls.
• Target and convert high-value accounts within core workforce segments, including manufacturing, construction, industrial services, corporate relocations, and sports groups.
• Manage and optimize Local Negotiated Rate (LNR) accounts, ensuring seamless onboarding and production tracking. 2. Property Transition & Task Force Leadership
• Deploy on short notice to fill critical sales vacancies (e.g., Director of Sales or Sales Manager roles) and ensure zero lapse in market coverage.
• Conduct rapid market assessments to identify immediate revenue opportunities, assess the pipeline and determine any demand shifts.
• Collaborate closely with General Managers and regional leadership to align property-level execution for any sales needs.
• Manage the group booking pace, finalize outstanding definite contracts, and handle time-sensitive catering and group inquiries with persistent follow-up. 3. Relationship & Account Management
• Protect and cultivate existing top-tier accounts to prevent a decrease in business volume during sales management transitions.
• Work collaboratively with property operations teams to ensure seamless execution of contracted group and catering business, maintaining high guest satisfaction. 4. Reporting & Strategy
