About the role

The San Diego Tourism Authority is seeking a National Sales Director in Chicago to market and sell meeting space for the San Diego Convention Center Corporation and to help hotels contract room blocks to drive occupancy tax and Tourism Marketing District fees. Under the CSO, you will lead strategic sales efforts, build client relationships, travel to key markets, and represent SDTA at national conferences. Must reside within 20 miles of Chicago airport and travel up to 25%.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
