OTA Insight is a leading business & market intelligence SaaS provider for the hospitality industry. Our clients include the full spectrum of hotel types, from independently owned to major chains like Marriott, Hilton, Accor, IHG, etc.
Today OTA Insight is present in more than 185+ countries and serves more than 65,000 hotels. Additionally we have acquired a leading provider in the STR (short term rental space) that gives us a comprehensive view into all accommodation types globally. We process over 3 billion data points daily, providing unique insights to our customers that improve their top & bottom line.

We are expanding internationally and are looking for a full-time Enterprise Sales Director EMEA - based in Ghent, Belgium; Madrid, Spain; London, UK or Remote.

This is a unique opportunity for a person with a proven track record of success to help define OTA Insight’s enterprise sales strategy through a combination of proven sales practices, industry relationships and creativity to develop enterprise wide solutions for the larger local & global hotel chains. This position will be responsible for positioning a full portfolio of solutions to both larger local & global chains which include legacy products, recently acquired product lines and a future pipeline of products.

The Director of Enterprise Sales EMEA will report directly to the Commercial Director EMEA. Our Director of Enterprise Sales EMEA will be responsible for implementing an end to end sales process with key prospect/customer accounts. It is expected that this person will already have existing relationships with C-Level and VP level contacts in the Global Chains (particularly important are relationships within the disciplines of revenue management, sales, distribution and franchise operations) and have the ability to quickly build relationships with other key contacts. The Director of Enterprise Sales EMEA will be responsible for developing new business opportunities directly through his or her assigned accounts that lead to 500k - 800k EUR in directly booked, new revenue.

The Director of Enterprise Sales EMEA will also work closely with our Product team to meet with key accounts to understand future data and solution needs within his or her assigned accounts. Which in turn will develop a strong feedback loop with key decision makers to ensure future chain level adoption of new products. This role will be an important voice in helping us to define and build future strategic plans that lead to high growth within the industry. While other stakeholders will be working jointly with the Director of Enterprise Sales EMEA in the global chains, new business growth will be the sole responsibility of the Director of Enterprise Sales EMEA.

While this is an individual contributor role, the person will need to be a consensus builder and represent our culture and values in the marketplace.
