VP of Sales and Marketing - Hospitality Staffing
VP of Sales & Marketing
High-Growth Hospitality Staffing Firm
We’re a profitable, established hospitality staffing firm with a strong reputation and deep relationships. Now we’re ready for our next phase: turning that foundation into a scalable, repeatable growth engine.
We’re looking for a VP of Sales & Marketing who knows how to scale revenue, build systems, and lead high-energy teams—without losing the human touch that got us here.
Why This Role Is Different
This isn’t a “maintain the book” job. It’s a chance to:

-
Contribute to long-term equity value (ESOP included)
-
Partner with a collaborative, supportive CEO who wants a true thought partner
-
Achieve some of the most meaningful results of your career—and be well rewarded for it
We’ve built a strong foundation on relationships and reputation. Now we’re ready for a leader who can turn that strength into sustainable, scalable growth.

What We’re Looking For (In Your Story)
