Business Transient Sales Manager

An Invitation to Redefine How Business Travelers Choose Where to Stay

In 2027, we are not just selling hotel rooms to business travelers. We are offering them a reason to stop treating every trip as the same. Our property is undergoing a full-scale reinvention into a lifestyle brand Tapestry by Hilton, a place where design, culture, community, and unforgettable experiences converge. For business travelers, that means a stay that does not feel like work, even when they are working. And we need the sales leader who will bring that message to the corporate market.

We are looking for the person who will own that portfolio and build those partnerships.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage an existing book of accounts on autopilot. This is for the hospitality sales professional who understands that the business transient market is evolving that today’s corporate travelers, travel managers, and procurement teams are choosing hotels that deliver more than a clean room and free Wi-Fi and who has been waiting for the chance to sell a property that actually gives them something worth choosing, with the full backing and infrastructure of Pyramid Global Hospitality’s 230+ property portfolio.

If you have ever looked at the corporate hotel market and imagined what would happen if business travelers had a hotel that felt like it was designed for them not just functional, but inspiring, energizing, a place they actually look forward to returning to keep reading. This role was written for you.

The Vision: From Business Hotel to the Business Traveler’s Destination of Choice

The era of interchangeable business hotels is over. Today’s corporate travelers want more than a loyalty program and a desk lamp. They want hotels that reflect how they live: design-conscious, experience-rich, locally rooted, and socially vibrant. They want a lobby that doubles as a workspace and a gathering place. They want food that is worth sitting down for. They want service that feels personal, not programmatic. And their companies want partners who deliver value, not just rates.

Our 2027 transformation will reposition this 304-room property at the intersection of modern luxury, boutique intimacy, and genuine hospitality making it the kind of hotel those corporate travelers request by name. We are reimagining the business travel experience from check-in to checkout, and we need a Business Transient Sales Manager who does not just understand this shift, but who can sell it, own it, and scale it.
