Overview

Reporting to the General Manager, the Director of Sales & Marketing is a visionary and a driver, responsible for leading revenue strategy, shaping the resort’s evolving market positioning, and playing a pivotal role in the Rimrock Banff’s rebranding journey. This isn’t just about selling rooms, it’s about redefining how the world experiences our resort as we transform into a lifestyle luxury destination in the Canadian Rockies.

As a key architect of this evolution, you will guide the narrative, influence perception, and ensure our repositioning translates into measurable business results. This role requires a confident, fast-moving leader who combines strategic foresight with bold execution. Persuasive, innovative, and results-focused, you thrive on building strong partnerships, inspiring high-performing teams, and seizing opportunities to expand market share while bringing our new brand identity to life.

• Forecast, analyze, and act on market trends, ensuring proactive responses to competitive landscapes.
• Drive performance across rooms, catering, and ancillary revenue streams with a focus on profitability.

Team & Stakeholder Leadership

• Lead, mentor, and inspire the Sales, Catering, and Marketing teams to achieve ambitious goals.
• Partner with Revenue Management, Operations, and Ownership to align on strategy and execution.
• Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous growth.

• Represent the resort with confidence at industry events, trade shows, and client engagements.
• Champion innovative campaigns, partnerships, and activations that bring our brand to life.

Guest-Centric & Results-Driven

• Ensure sales strategies reflect the guest journey and the luxury standards of the resort.
• Balance bold revenue targets with a commitment to long-term guest loyalty and brand equity.
• Translate data and insights into actionable strategies that deliver measurable results.

Who You Are

You are a connector, a strategist, and a natural competitor. You thrive in high-stakes environments where decisions move quickly and results matter. Your leadership style is bold and persuasive, you bring people with you through influence, energy, and vision.

You are as comfortable in the boardroom as you are on the floor with your team. You see the big picture but never lose sight of the details that drive revenue. You know that sales is not just about numbers, it’s about relationships, storytelling, and building trust.

Lead with vision. Drive with purpose. Stay moved.
