Account Executive

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Account Executive based in Australia. Take ownership of strategic sales opportunities across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and help hospitality businesses modernize their operations through innovative hotel technology. In this senior commercial role, you will manage your own sales targets, develop new business, and close high-value deals with hotel owners, general managers, and operational leaders. You will combine deep hospitality knowledge with consultative selling to demonstrate how integrated technology can improve property performance and guest experiences. Working closely with regional sales leadership, marketing, and product teams, you will influence sales strategy and contribute to regional growth. You will also mentor newer sales colleagues and use AI-powered tools to make your sales workflow more effective. This is an opportunity to make a measurable impact in a fast-moving, international, remote-first environment.

Own and consistently achieve sales quotas across your assigned APAC territory, focusing on larger, more strategic opportunities. Manage the full sales cycle, from inbound enquiries and prospect qualification to negotiations and deal closure. Build and maintain a strong sales pipeline through outbound prospecting, industry events, roadshows, and inbound leads. Lead consultative and technically informed sales conversations with hotel owners, general managers, operations teams, and revenue professionals. Understand hotel operations, existing technology ecosystems, and commercial priorities to position solutions around customers’ specific business needs. Clearly communicate the value of integrated hotel technology and demonstrate how it can improve operational efficiency and guest experiences. Use AI tools for account research, call preparation, proposal drafting, follow-ups, and sales administration, applying sound judgment to review and refine outputs. Maintain accurate CRM records, sales forecasts, pipeline information, and deal documentation. Collaborate with regional sales leadership, marketing, and product teams to share market insights and strengthen sales effectiveness. Support and mentor newer sales managers through coaching, knowledge sharing, and informal onboarding. Requirements: Demonstrated success in a sales role within hospitality technology, ideally hotel technology, with a consistent record of achieving sales targets.

Strong understanding of how hotels function day to day, including operational workflows, property management systems, and related technology integrations. Proven ability to conduct consultative, technically informed sales conversations and build credibility with stakeholders at all levels. Experience managing complex sales opportunities, developing pipelines, negotiating commercially, and closing deals. Practical AI proficiency equivalent to Level 2, including regular use of AI tools in sales workflows such as research, preparation, proposal development, and follow-up. Strong communication, relationship-building, analytical, and problem-solving skills. High levels of ownership, resilience, adaptability, curiosity, and accountability in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities. Ability to work collaboratively across distributed international teams while managing responsibilities independently. Nice to have: Experience selling to multi-property hotel groups or managing larger strategic accounts. Hands-on familiarity with property management systems (PMS), hotel technology platforms, and integrations. Experience mentoring, coaching, or onboarding sales colleagues.
