The role will focus on developing business with resorts, hotels, hospitality groups and leisure destinations, introducing a premium leisure proposition designed to enhance guest experience, differentiation and additional revenue opportunities.

This is a hands-on new-business role requiring strong knowledge of the Spanish hospitality market and the ability to build a territory from the ground up. This positioning aligns with the commercial strategy of selling hospitality partners an experience and business outcome rather than simply a product.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new business across the Spanish hospitality market.
• Prospect and build relationships with resorts, hotels and hospitality groups.
• Engage relevant senior decision-makers and commercial stakeholders.
• Manage opportunities from prospecting through presentation, negotiation and closure.
• Identify pilot properties and strategic hospitality partnerships.
• Build and maintain a qualified sales pipeline.
• Conduct customer presentations and demonstrations.
• Develop relationships that can expand into multi-property opportunities.
• Provide market intelligence, customer feedback and sales forecasts.
• Travel regularly within Spain for customer and business-development activities.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 5+ years of B2B sales or business development experience, with meaningful experience within hotels, resorts, hospitality or tourism.
• Demonstrated experience personally generating new business, rather than primarily managing existing accounts.
• Experience taking opportunities from prospecting through negotiation and commercial closure.
• Professional experience developing business within the Spanish market.
• Professional fluency in Spanish and English.
• Currently based in Spain.
• Willing and able to travel regularly across Spain.
• Comfortable with a 12-month contractual engagement.

Preferred Qualifications

• Established relationships with hotels, resorts or hospitality groups in Spain.
• Experience within luxury, premium or upscale hospitality.
• Relationships with hotel General Managers, Commercial Directors, Operations Leaders, ownership groups or hospitality management companies.
• Experience introducing a new product, service or guest-experience proposition into the hospitality market.
• Experience establishing a new territory or market from the ground up.
• Experience developing multi-property or hotel-group partnerships.
• Exposure to hospitality initiatives involving guest experience, leisure or ancillary revenue generation.

Ideal Profile

A well-connected, commercially driven hospitality professional who understands the Spanish market, has a genuine hunter mentality, can open doors with hospitality decision-makers, and can independently develop relationships into sustainable commercial partnerships.
