Skills and Knowledge

• Proven Business Transient / Corporate Sales Track Record - Look for a demonstrated history of growing corporate, government, or negotiated-rate segments at a comparable urban or destination hotel — not just leisure or group sales. You want someone who can speak to specific account wins, rate negotiations, and how they moved the needle on transient revenue, not just group blocks.
• Local Market Knowledge & Relationship Network (San Juan / PR)  - Old San Juan's business transient feeder market runs through specific channels — government agencies, law firms, financial services, medical/pharma, and the local chamber and tourism association ecosystem. Existing relationships or fast credibility in that network.
• Revenue Management & Negotiation Acumen - Needs to understand rate strategy, RFP season dynamics, GDS/corporate contract mechanics, and how to balance transient rate integrity against occupancy goals — ideally with direct experience negotiating corporate and consortia agreements, not just executing rates set by someone else
• Self-Driven / Prospecting - Prospects independently, cold outreach, account mapping, competitive displacement. Competent on autonomous pipeline-building, not just execution against handed leads.
• Sales Systems & Data-Driven Reporting - Fluency with sales/CRM platforms (Delphi.fdc, Salesforce, or similar) and the ability to build and defend a pipeline with data, production reports, account penetration, pace vs. budget, so leadership can trust the growth story being told month to month.

• Frequent walking, standing, sitting, hearing, talking, smiling.  Lifting, pushing and pulling of objects weighing up to ten (10) pounds.
• Travel for business
• Actively participate in events
