Freelance Business Development Lead - Hospitality Specialist (Remote)

Blaze is at the forefront of hospitality innovation, offering an AI-powered tool designed to transform the guest experience and hotel performance by providing the most detailed review analysis for hotels. We help hotels uncover hidden insights, identify positive and negative trends for both their property and competitors, and optimize operations for maximum efficiency and guest satisfaction.

Our passion lies at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and genuine hospitality, and we're dedicated to helping hotels thrive.

The Opportunity:

We're seeking a highly motivated and well-connected Freelance Business Development Lead with significant experience in the hospitality sector. This is a unique opportunity to partner with an innovative tech company, leverage your existing network, and drive the adoption of a truly transformative solution in the hotel industry.

This is a fully remote position, allowing you to work from anywhere.

If you're a seasoned professional who understands the nuances of hotel operations, has a strong network of contacts within the industry (especially independent hotels and smaller chains), and excels at building relationships, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do:

• Identify and Engage: Proactively identify and engage with independent hotels and smaller hotel chains that would benefit from Blaze's AI-powered review analysis.
• Leverage Your Network: Utilize your extensive personal and professional network within the hospitality industry to generate qualified leads and introductions.
• Initiate & Qualify: Conduct initial outreach, present Blaze's value proposition, and qualify potential clients.
• Facilitate Connections: Schedule and facilitate introductory meetings or demos between qualified leads and the Blaze team.
• Collaborate: Work closely with the Blaze leadership and sales team, providing insights from the market and feedback from potential clients.

What We're Looking For:

• Proven Hospitality Experience: Demonstrated background working within or closely with hotels (hotel management, operations, sales, consulting for hotels).
• Strong Network: An established and active network of decision-makers and key influencers within the independent hotel sector and smaller hotel chains.
• Business Development Acumen: Proven ability to identify opportunities, initiate conversations, and nurture relationships towards a potential partnership.
• Self-Motivated & Independent: Ability to work autonomously, manage your own pipeline, and drive results as a freelancer.
• Excellent Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex solutions clearly and persuasively.
• Tech-Savvy (Bonus): Familiarity with AI or SaaS solutions is a plus, but a strong understanding of hotel needs is paramount.

Compensation:

This is a freelance, commission-based role. You will receive a competitive referral fee for every successful deal closed with a hotel you introduce to Blaze. We believe in rewarding our partners generously for their contributions.

Ready to help hotels thrive with innovative AI from anywhere?

If you're a connected hospitality expert looking for a flexible, rewarding opportunity to partner with a cutting-edge company, we encourage you to reach out!
