Enterprise Hospitality Account Executive

About the Role

We are seeking a well-connected, strategic Business Development professional to drive growth within the luxury hospitality space. This is not a traditional sales role—this position is focused on relationship building, industry influence, and early project engagement.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain relationships with:
    • Luxury hotel brands
    • Interior designers & architects
    • Developers and ownership groups
  • Identify and engage in projects early (pre-bid/RFP stage)
  • Generate and close high-value, long-term deals
  • Position the company as a trusted partner, not just a vendor
  • Attend industry events, network, and represent the brand
  • Grow key accounts into multi-project partnerships

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of experience in:
    • Hospitality, interior design, furniture, or related industry
  • Strong existing network in luxury hospitality or design
  • Proven ability to generate business through relationships
  • Experience closing large or enterprise-level deals
  • Highly self-driven with a hunter mentality
  • Strong communication and executive presence

What Success Looks Like

  • Bringing in new high-value clients
  • Creating long-term partnerships
  • Becoming a trusted industry connector and dealmaker
