Job Description

Looking for your next step into the Hotel Sales world?

The Embassy Suites by Hilton Kansas City Overland Park is a 199-room hotel located in the 2nd biggest room night market next to Downtown KC, and we are looking for a candidate with Hilton experience to overtake our Sports market. The Hilton Hotel requirement is a huge plus, as is a knowledge of sports and travel.

The candidate will find themselves responding to sales leads for sports teams, Social leads (family Reunions), and church/religious groups that inquire about staying at the hotel. The candidate would describe the hotel and get the contacts' needs to ensure we are a fit, and work closely with the GM and Director of Sales to establish a nightly rate and book the group. Once booked, the candidate will also watch the group's room reservations and check in with the group before and during their arrival.

Outside calls will also be in the mix during the week, by heading to ballparks and the local sports travel agents to make close relationships to ensure we are always on the list of places to stay. You will ultimately be held responsible for booking solid groups in the hotel and ensuring we are profitable and adapting to changing market conditions.
