Group Sales Manager

Full-Time

This coveted role is open because a 20-year sales veteran is retiring — not because of turnover. That alone speaks to the culture, stability, and pride behind this position.

The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa is a 40-year Tucson icon, recently reimagined through a major renovation and recognized as one of the top resorts in the region. With that momentum comes opportunity, and a chance to step into a role with a strong foundation and incredible potential.

The right candidate will bring energy, confidence, and ownership to an established market with deep relationships and visibility. You’ll be filling big shoes, and you’ll be supported by a collaborative, driven team that takes pride in delivering exceptional experiences.

What this role is really about

• Taking ownership of a defined market and building on an established book of business for our West Coast market
• Maintaining long-standing relationships while creating new opportunities
• Representing a luxury resort with polish, professionalism, and pride
• Bringing energy, accountability, and follow-through to everything you do
• Understanding that details and consistency are what elevates the experience

What you’ll be doing

• Developing and securing contracted business from new and existing accounts
• Negotiating rates and contracts aligned with revenue and market strategy
• Actively prospecting through sales calls, site visits, networking, and community involvement
• Creating and executing focused sales plans to meet and exceed revenue goals
• Partnering across departments to ensure seamless service and strong client satisfaction
• Maintaining visibility in the market and within the resort
• Traveling as necessary, attending trade shows, and other opportunities to showcase the resort

Who will thrive here

• Sales professionals with luxury or upper-upscale hotel experience
• Marriott experience strongly preferred
• Experience with large, complex resort properties is a plus
• Tucson market knowledge is helpful, but not required
• Individuals who bring strong relationship-building skills, initiative, and positive energy

If you’re excited by the idea of stepping into a respected role with momentum, support, and room to make your mark, we’d love to connect. This is an on-site role, not remote.
