    Job Description

    Who We Are:

    Wurzak Hotel Group is a leader in vertically integrated hospitality, and we've successfully developed and managed a growing portfolio of top tier branded assets throughout some of the most pivotal moments in the last three decades- proving our position as one of the industry's premier hotel investment groups. We are a premium hotel portfolio and a great core management team, with hotels currently under construction and robust acquisition pipeline, looking to build out our above-property support functions.

    Mission Statement:

    To deliver memorable experiences and create meaningful moments in the lives of our guests and team members.

    What We Offer:

    • Generous PTO and Holiday Pay
    • 401K
    • Competitive Wages
    • Health Benefits after 60 Days of Employment

    Job Summary:

    We are looking for an energetic hotel sales professional who is interested in growing with us to join our team as Director of Sales at the Home2 Suites by Hilton in downtown Philadelphia. Along with a modern, residential-style room product, The Home2 enjoys a premium location, directly across the street from both the Philadelphia Convention Center and one of the city's top leisure destinations, Reading Terminal Market. Iconic City Hall, The Liberty Bell, and Ben Franklin's home are all within a few minutes' walk.

    As a result, our ideal candidate is most likely a successful hotel sales manager who is ready for their first Director of Sales role, or an existing DOS who is tired of managing people, since the role combines sales leadership functions like strategic planning and maintaining exemplary CVB and the Hilton brand relationships with personally handling the hotel's third key market segment, business travel. Without the stress of managing other salespeople. Strategic-thinking sales professionals who want more direct control of their own success should definitely apply.

    In addition to proven sales success, the candidate must be able to establish and maintain strong interpersonal relationships with various internal and external customers to elevate the hotel to the next level. Meeting deadlines, managing time efficiently and communicating clearly and concisely are all critical. We believe in delivering good news enthusiastically and bad news with a well thought out plan of attack to fix the issue at hand.

    We also understand that maximizing revenue, market share and profitability are paramount to the success of the company, and we hold in high esteem those professionals with the unique skill set and proven ability to do so. If you think you could do this job, and you don't feel appreciated today, you should definitely apply.

    • Professionally approach and communicate with current and prospective customers, partners, and associates.
    • Understand the market, the brand, positioning of the Home2, booking patterns, trends, high-demand times, and events in the market.
