Lighthouse is seeking a driven, hospitality-savvy Account Executive to sell our Commercial Strategy Services (CSS) solution exclusively to independent hotels across North America. This is a high-velocity, consultative sales role built for someone who understands the unique commercial challenges facing independent properties — and knows how to position outsourced revenue management and commercial strategy as a game-changing solution.
You will own a focused territory of premium independent hotels — boutique properties, luxury independents, destination resorts, and design-forward collections — closing 7–10 new CSS agreements per month through a combination of proactive outreach, relationship-building, and sharp consultative selling.
Where you will have impact:Pipeline Generation & Territory Ownership
- Build and manage a focused pipeline of premium independent properties across North America, targeting boutique hotels, luxury independents, destination resorts, and influential single assets.
- Drive 7–10 new CSS agreements per month through proactive outreach, curated networking, industry events, and referral development.
- Identify and prioritize the right targets — properties without dedicated revenue management, those underperforming on direct bookings, or those navigating ownership/management transitions.
- Maintain accurate Salesforce records, pipeline hygiene, and forecasting discipline.
Consultative Sales & Value-Based Positioning
- Lead discovery conversations that uncover a property's commercial gaps, revenue goals, and operational constraints.
- Position CSS compellingly — connecting service tiers (Elite, Weekly, Bi-weekly) directly to each property's business mix, revenue scale, and strategic priorities.
- Deliver sharp demos, ROI narratives, and tailored proposals that resonate with Owners, GMs, and Revenue Directors.
- Navigate multi-stakeholder buying decisions with confidence, managing timelines and driving deals to close.
Market Presence & Segment Expertise
- Represent Lighthouse at key hospitality events, luxury travel forums, and independent hotel associations to build visibility and demand.
- Develop deep expertise in the independent hotel segment — understanding the commercial pressures, decision-making dynamics, and seasonal patterns that drive buying behavior.
- Share field insights with product and marketing teams to help shape CSS positioning, packaging, and go-to-market strategy.
- Lead with Strategic Revenue Analysis to provide immediate value and diagnostic baselines for potential partners.
- Position CSS as a total commercial solution that aligns hotel sales, marketing, and revenue departments toward a unified goal.
- Internal Collaboration: Partner with the Director of Onboarding and Operations Managers to facilitate seamless onboarding and ensure long term strategic alignment for every property.
