The Warbler

Director Of Sales

New Orleans, LA
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    The Opportunity The Warbler is an independently owned hotel - warm, welcoming, and unmistakably New Orleanian. A point of view rooted in character, charm, and the kind of hospitality that makes every guest feel like they’re the most important person in the room. Set along the tree-lined corridor of St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District, The Warbler draws inspiration from old-world traditions and the soulful rhythm of New Orleans. The hotel is intimate and design-forward, layered and elegant, without slipping into pretension. At its heart is Mildred’s, a bar-centric restaurant serving an ode to martinis, tapas, and lingering evenings. On the rooftop sits Upstairs, a casual, lush pool and bar. Together, they create a space where guests might come for a drink… and decide to stay for the night. Together, The Warbler, Mildred’s, and Upstairs offer something rare: spontaneous, authentic hospitality that feels discovered, not marketed - a true gift of New Orleans warmth in a setting that feels both luxurious and deeply human. We’re looking for a Director of Sales who can sell this feeling. Someone who understands that this role is about relationships and telling a story that is authentic and reflective of our city, our shared values, and our setting in the Garden District. The Role As Director of Sales, you are the bridge between The Warbler, Mildred’s, and the city itself. You’ll cultivate meaningful relationships with planners, creatives, companies, and travelers who appreciate character-driven hospitality and are drawn to places with soul. You’ll sell the hotel, and Mildred’s together - weaving rooms, tables, events, and experiences into one compelling narrative for group stays, buyouts, celebrations, and corporate retreats. There is no rigid sales script here. You’ll help shape the playbook, guided by instinct, creativity, and a deep respect for the culture we’re honoring. Why This Is Different • Independent ownership with a clear, heartfelt vision • A boutique hotel and restaurant designed around character, warmth, and longevity • Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives • The opportunity to help define the sales identity of a brand from its very beginning • A role with visibility, creative influence, and room to grow alongside the property Responsibilities: What You’ll Do • Drive room and restaurant revenue through thoughtful outreach, relationship-building, and creative deal-making • Sell group business, social events, intimate buyouts, and small corporate retreats that align with the brand • Collaborate closely with ownership, hotel operations, and CureCo to ensure experiences are executed with care and polish • Serve as a visible ambassador for The Warbler and Mildred’s at community events, partnerships, pop-ups, and local networking opportunities • Build and maintain a strong local client base rooted in New Orleans relationships • Manage leads, contracts, and pipelines with clarity, organization, and professionalism • Bring ideas to the table - packages, partnerships, seasonal moments, and unexpected ways to drive demand Qualifications: Who You Are • Deeply connected to New Orleans - either a local or someone genuinely embedded in its culture and business community • 3+ years of sales experience in hotels, restaurants, or lifestyle hospitality • A natural host and connector - people feel seen around you and trust your word • Comfortable selling both rooms and tables, understanding how they elevate one another • A polished, thoughtful communicator with strong written and verbal skills • Business-minded by nature: curious, self-directed, and energized by building something from the ground up • Organized enough to close deals, intuitive enough to open doors Compensation: $75,000
