What are sunset jobs?

Sunset jobs refer to roles or positions that are being phased out due to technological advancements, automation, or changes in industry demand. These jobs may no longer be necessary in the future, often because newer technologies or processes have made them obsolete. The term 'sunset' is used to describe something approaching the end of its useful life. Employees in sunset jobs may need to retrain or upskill to transition into more sustainable careers. Companies often provide notice or support to help workers move away from sunset positions.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in sunset photography, and how can they be overcome?

Sunset photographers often face challenges such as rapidly changing lighting conditions and unpredictable weather, which can impact the quality of their shots. To overcome these, it's important to arrive early to scout the location, prepare equipment in advance, and stay adaptable to capture the best moments. Collaborating with other photographers and staying updated on weather patterns can also help in planning successful shoots. Patience and practice are key to mastering the unique conditions of sunset photography.

Job description

 WANTED: A Revenue Rockstar Who Can Sell Paradise Twice.


Complex DOSM

Oahu

$150K - $165K + Quarterly Bonus and Relocation Assistance



Are you the type of person who checks the STR Report before your morning coffee?

Do you dream in RevPAR Index?

Do you smile every time your Market Share goes up and your Comp Set starts asking, "What are THEY doing over there?"

If so...grab your sunglasses, slather on some SPF 50, and keep reading.



The Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It)


We're looking for a Dual Director of Sales & Marketing to lead TWO amazing hotels in Hawaii.

Yes...TWO.


Because one hotel simply isn't enough for someone with your level of sales swagger.

Your job?

Fill rooms.

Drive ADR.

Increase Occupancy.

Grow RevPAR.

Dominate the Market Share.

Politely (but consistently) crush the Comp Set.

Turn empty guestrooms into happy vacation memories.

Basically...

Put Heads in Beds...without putting yourself to sleep.


Your Daily Workout

You'll spend your days:

  • Turning leads into bookings faster than sunscreen disappears at the beach.
  • Driving Occupancy like it's the scenic road to Hana.
  • Raising ADR without raising eyebrows.
  • Watching your RevPAR Index climb higher than the palm trees.
  • Making the STR Report your favorite bedtime story.
  • Winning group business.
  • Winning transient business.
  • Winning local business.
  • Winning business you didn't even know existed yesterday.
  • Building relationships that last longer than a Hawaiian sunset.
  • Helping two hotels outperform expectations while making the competition quietly reconsider their life choices.


What Success Looks Like

✅ RevPAR Index climbing.

✅ Market Share growing.

✅ Occupancy booming.

✅ ADR getting stronger.

✅ Revenue flowing into BOTH hotels.

✅ Ownership smiling.

✅ The Comp Set wondering if you're using magic.

(You're not...you're just really, really good.)


What We're Looking For

You probably:

  • Know hotel sales like the back of your beach towel.
  • Can explain RevPAR without using Google.
  • Think "compression nights" are exciting.
  • Believe every "no" is simply a "not yet."
  • Love networking almost as much as you love closing deals.
  • Can juggle multiple priorities without dropping your sunglasses.
  • Enjoy coaching teams and celebrating wins.
  • Have enough energy to power a luau...without ever stealing the spotlight.
  • Bring Hawaii Sales experience to the table


Compensation

Base Salary

$150,000 - $175,000


PLUS

Uncapped Quarterly Bonus Potential

That's right.

No ceiling.

No "thanks for exceeding expectations...here's a pizza."

When the hotels win...

You win.
