Hotel Staffing Solutions is expanding our presence in the Phoenix market, and we’re looking for an entrepreneurial, sales-driven Market Development Manager with previous staffing industry AND sales experience who is excited about the opportunity to help build a market from the ground up.

This isn’t a traditional branch manager role. We’re looking for someone who wants to build business, develop relationships, deliver for clients, and help create the foundation for a growing Phoenix team.

THE OPPORTUNITY

WE’RE GROWING IN PHOENIX!

In the beginning, this will be a hands‑on role. You’ll be responsible for both developing new business and helping recruit and fill the business you bring in.

Business Development & Sales

Prospect and develop relationships with hotels, resorts, and hospitality organizations throughout the Phoenix/Scottsdale market.

Build the Market

Identify new opportunities, conduct client meetings and property visits, develop proposals, close new business, and turn prospects into long‑term partnerships.

Recruit & Fill Business

Initially, you’ll work hands‑on with recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and filling client orders to ensure we deliver on the business we bring in.

Manage & Grow Accounts

Build strong relationships with clients, understand their staffing needs, ensure service expectations are being met, and identify opportunities to expand our partnerships.

Help Build Your Team

As the Phoenix market grows, we’ll add dedicated recruiter(s) and operational support. Your role will then transition more heavily toward business development, sales, and account management.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Previous staffing industry AND sales experience is required.
• Has previous experience in the staffing industry, including recruiting and filling client orders
• Has proven sales and business development experience with the ability to prospect, build relationships, and close new business
• Understands both sides of staffing — winning the business AND delivering the talent
• Is comfortable cold calling, networking, prospecting, and visiting clients in person
• Has an entrepreneurial, start‑up mentality and enjoys building something from the ground up
• Can sell the business AND roll up their sleeves to help deliver results
• Is highly organized, accountable, competitive, and self‑motivated
• Understands that great sales doesn’t stop when the client signs — we have to deliver
• Hospitality staffing experience and existing relationships within the Phoenix/Scottsdale hotel and resort market are a strong plus.

COMPENSATION

• Base Salary: $65,000–$75,000, based on experience
• Commission Plan with additional earning potential tied to business growth
• Local travel throughout the Phoenix/Scottsdale market
