Senior Sales Manager

Hey there, Sales Maverick!

Ready to Give Your Sales Skills a VIP Upgrade at the Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel?? Are you an experienced hospitality sales pro with a knack for turning “no” into “HECK YES!”? Do you dream in revenue streams and closing deals is your cardio? Well hold on to your expense reports, because this isn’t your average run-of-the-mill sales position in just any old hotel.

Here at The Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel, “It’s not how we work, it’s how we LIVE!”

We’ve got bikers, DJs, gymnasts, photographers, gamers, readers, pet lovers, movie buffs, artists, and a whole variety of other people!

We have family people, single people, HAPPY PEOPLE!

You’ll find friends and want to bring your friends, too!

Here’s how it goes down:

• You spot or get sent this ad.
• You devour every word like a hungry sales shark.
• It hits your competitive nerve, challenging you to prove us wrong.
• You shout your interest from the rooftops (or, you know, send an email). Or just take the shortcut and apply directly here
• We invite you to meet our crew and validate every fabulous thing we’ve boasted about (oh, and there’s more – hello, pet insurance!)
• If we hit it off and we’re your kind of awesome, you’ll soon be telling your friends how amazing your life has become!
• Your buddies turn a shade of green that Pantone hasn’t even named, and they follow your footsteps. Bonus: You get a sweet reward for each one that joins our super cool crew!

Pro Tip: Don’t let this chance slip through your fingers! Sure, you might be content where you’re at, but shouldn’t “happy” be your default setting? Come on over, soak in our vibes, meet the top dogs who’ll steer your future to greatness!

Heads up: Even if you decide Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel isn’t your forever home (which we seriously doubt), change isn’t scary. We’re all about growth – we’ve even catapulted folks into bigger dreams (yep, GM status!) because we’re all about lifting you up, not holding you back!

One Last Thing: Spread the word! Share this job post like you’re handing out high-fives. We’re not worried about job-stealing friends; if you’re amazing, we’ve got a spot for all of you!
