Job Description



Lead and Inspire Group Sales Strategy for Two Iconic Chicago Hotels

Join Pyramid Global Hospitality as the Area Director of Sales & Marketing, overseeing the The Midland Hotel, a Tribute Hotel by Marriott and W Chicago Lakeshore (with a soon to be rebranding). With exciting transformations and reimagined identities planned for Q1 2025, this is your opportunity to lead strategic sales and marketing efforts across two iconic Chicago properties, driving success with equal responsibilities for both hotels.

Why This Role Stands Out
Leadership Impact : Oversee group sales and marketing efforts equally for two high-profile properties, driving success across both the W Chicago City Center and W Chicago Lakeshore.
Highly Competitive Compensation : Because leadership and expertise deserve top pay.
Uncapped Quarterly Incentive Compensation : Your team’s success is your success—rewarded without limits.
401k Match & Benefits : Competitive contributions and comprehensive benefits to support your career and lifestyle.
Transformative Opportunity : Be at the forefront of an exciting evolution as these hotels debut elevated identities in 2025.

The Role

As the Area Director of Sales & Marketing , you will:

  • Oversee Sales & Marketing Efforts Across Both Properties: Lead, coach, and mentor dynamic sales and marketing teams for both properties, ensuring alignment with Pyramid’s and Marriott’s strategies.
  • Develop and Execute Sales & Marketing Strategies: Tailor group sales and marketing initiatives to maximize revenue and market share across both hotels.
  • Drive Key Market Growth: Oversee strategies in key verticals and segments, ensuring both properties are positioned as leaders in the Chicago market.
  • Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with revenue management, marketing, and operations to align group sales strategies with property goals.
  • Deliver Results: Leverage Marriott tools (CI/TY experience preferred) to analyze data, track performance, and exceed revenue targets.

Who You Are
A seasoned sales and marketing leader with Marriott brand experience, proven success managing teams, and delivering results in a multi-property or complex environment.

  • Experienced in strategic market development, with a track record of growing sales and marketing revenue in key verticals.
  • An inspiring leader who thrives on mentoring teams, fostering collaboration, and building a culture of excellence.
  • Skilled in leveraging Marriott tools and systems, such as CI/TY, to optimize team performance and revenue growth.
  • Energized by transformation, ready to guide two hotels through an exciting rebranding journey.

Why Pyramid Global Hospitality? Why Now?

Pyramid Global Hospitality is a recognized leader in hotel and resort management, known for its innovative approach and dedication to excellence. Joining Pyramid means access to world-class resources, professional development opportunities, and the chance to lead teams at two properties undergoing bold transformations.

This isn’t just another group sales and marketing role—it’s your opportunity to lead, inspire, and innovate while helping shape the success of two of Chicago’s most exciting hotels as they enter a bold new chapter.

Responsibilities

  • A Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Hospitality Management, Marketing, or a related field is commonly required.
  • A Master’s degree or additional certifications in hospitality, sales, or revenue management is preferred but not mandatory.
  • 7–10 years of progressive experience in hotel sales and marketing roles.

  • Proven experience working with Marriott’s brand portfolio.
  • Experience working in the Chicago market or another competitive urban market is often preferred due to its unique characteristics.
