Lead the Charge at One of New Orleans' Most Dynamic Full-Service HotelsThe DoubleTree by Hilton New Orleans Airport isn't a quiet property - it's a
high-energy, high-volume, full-service hotel in one of the most competitive airport markets in the South. Corporate travelers, airline crews, sports groups, conventions, government, associations - this hotel sees it all.
We're searching for a
fearless, relationship-driven, strategy-obsessed Director of Sales who knows how to dominate a market, build powerful partnerships, and lead a sales team with integrity and fire.
If you thrive on
winning business, building influence, and being the face of a major Hilton property, this is your stage.

take-the-wheel, drive-the-strategy, own-the-market leadership role.

- Command the sales strategy across corporate, group, airline, government, SMERF, and association segments
- Build a pipeline that never sleeps through off-site sales calls, client visits, and community presence

- Represent the DoubleTree brand at trade shows, industry events, and major networking opportunities
- Partner with Revenue Management to maximize group blocks, pricing, and total hotel revenue
- Build long-term relationships with meeting planners, corporate decision-makers, and key market influencers
- Drive forecasting, budgeting, and competitive analysis with precision
This role is for someone who
loves the chase, loves the close, and loves leading people to big wins.
What You BringYou're not new to this. You're a
seasoned hotel sales leader who knows how to move a full-service property forward.
You have:
- 3-5+ years of hotel sales leadership experience (full-service or high-volume required)
- A proven track record in corporate, group, and airline/airport segments
- Strong forecasting, budgeting, and analytical skills
- Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship-building abilities
- Valid driver's license, clean MVR, reliable vehicle, and active auto insurance
- The ability to travel locally for sales calls, client meetings, and community events
- Flexibility for occasional evenings/weekends for events or client needs
- Hilton system experience (Delphi, CI/TY, OnQ) is a plus
You lead with
integrity, you operate with
urgency, and you show up with
presence.
What You Get- Competitive salary + performance-based bonus
- Full benefits package
- Hilton travel perks
- Career growth within A&R Hospitality Group
- A leadership seat at a high-visibility, high-impact hotel
This is a role where
your work is seen, your wins matter, and your leadership shapes the hotel's future.
