SALES MANAGER, US – GENERATOR AND FREEHAND HOTELS
We are looking for an exceptional and passionate Sales Manager to join our team in the US. This role is responsible to proactively secure new business for Generator & Freehand US properties. They will support the US Sales Team Directors in all aspects of sales activities to achieve overall hotel goals. The Sales Manager will be responsible to represent the Generator and Freehand brand and embrace its values and culture within each interaction.

If you are motivated, organised, a people person through and through and have a genuine desire to be part of something big then your journey should start here. Help us to create an unforgettable experience.

WHO ARE WE

Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're a leading global lifestyle accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world. Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with the launch of Generator Miami and Generator DC and most recently took aim at the country’s biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants an awesome Sales Manager for the 7 US properties.

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of the finite time the universe has given you - that's what Generator offers. Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to life.
