Responsibilities
Head of Sales (Hands-On) — Luxury Hospitality Group | Singapore
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We are partnering, on a confidential basis, with a boutique luxury hospitality
group operating a small collection of design-led properties across Asia.
Each property carries its own distinct identity, scale and audience — one a
intimate heritage address, the other a destination resort.
This is a newly-scoped group-level appointment reporting into senior leadership.
The client's identity will be shared with shortlisted candidates at interview stage.
THIS IS A HANDS-ON ROLE — PLEASE READ
This is not a role that sits above the sales function and reviews reports.
The successful candidate will own the strategy AND personally carry it out:
* Personally holding and growing key travel-trade and consortia accounts, not
delegating them
* Travelling to trade shows, sales missions and roadshows and representing the
properties in the room yourself
* Working without a large support structure — you build the plan, make the
calls, and close the business
* Leading a small on-property sales and reservations team as a player-coach,
setting the standard by doing the work alongside them
If you are looking for a purely strategic, oversight-only mandate, this will
not be the right fit. If you want to build something and be measured on what
you personally bring in, it will be.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
* Set and execute distinct sales strategies for each property, reflecting its
positioning, scale and commercial objectives
* Own the group's international luxury leisure business as the primary focus
* Prioritise key source markets, segments, accounts and partnership opportunities
* Build and deepen relationships with luxury travel advisors, tour operators,
destination specialists, consortia and preferred partner programmes
* Coach and develop the on-property sales and reservations teams
* Partner with hotel leadership and revenue teams on pricing, forecasting,
inventory and distribution
* Track and act on business mix, booking pace, occupancy, ADR, RevPAR,
conversion and channel performance
* Strengthen direct business and lift reservations conversion and response
standards
* Align closely with marketing on campaigns, partnerships and content
* Establish clear targets, reporting rhythm and accountability across the group
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
You are likely in one of these seats today and ready for your first group-level
step:
* Assistant Director of Sales at a luxury hotel or resort
* Cluster Assistant Director of Sales
* Senior Sales Manager with real team and account ownership
* Director of Sales at a smaller independent luxury property
Requirements
* Progressive sales experience within luxury hotels, resorts or high-end travel
* Demonstrated results in the international luxury leisure market — not
Singapore-only exposure
* Existing relationships with luxury travel advisors, tour operators, consortia
and preferred partner programmes
* Experience selling properties with distinct identities and commercial models
* Sound understanding of hotel pricing, forecasting, business mix and distribution
* Comfortable interpreting commercial reports and turning them into sales priorities
* Experience coaching or supervising sales and/or reservations teams
* Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills
* Willing and able to travel internationally
* Legally authorised to work in Singapore, or eligible for sponsorship
WHAT WILL SET YOU APART
* Entrepreneurial and self-directed — comfortable operating with autonomy and
limited infrastructure
* Commercially disciplined without being transactional
* Polished and credible in front of high-end partners and owners
* Motivated by growing into a broader commercial leadership seat as the group evolves
WHAT IS OFFERED
* Group-level scope and direct access to ownership and senior leadership
* Genuine autonomy to shape the commercial direction of the portfolio
* International travel and exposure across the group's markets
