Help Reimagine How the World Connects with Hawaii

Our client is relaunching their website with big plans to become the go-to digital platform for travelers dreaming of—and planning—a trip to the Islands. Think: rich storytelling, smart recommendations, user-generated content, and AI-powered tools, all in one place.

They are looking for a creative and strategic Sales Manager to build their monetization engine from the ground up. You'll partner directly with the CEO to shape pricing, packaging, sales strategy, and go-to-market efforts. From digital sponsorships to branded content and social integrations, you'll lead the charge in connecting advertisers with engaged travelers—authentically and effectively.

This is a first-of-its-kind role with high visibility, high autonomy, and major creative runway.

What You'll Do

• Co-create and execute full revenue strategy alongside the CEO
• Develop offerings that go beyond banners: programmatic, sponsored content, homepage takeovers, contests, custom creative, social integrations, and more
• Pitch and close innovative campaigns with airlines, hotels, attractions, retailers, and local brands
• Build trusted relationships with local advertisers, national partners, and media agencies
• Test and launch custom sponsorships and pilot programs
• Collaborate with content, marketing, and product teams to bring campaigns to life
• Help lay the foundation for a future sales team

What You Bring

• Deep understanding of the Hawaii market and advertising landscape
• Proven success in digital media sales, partnerships, or business development—ideally in travel/tourism or related sales experience
• A builder's mindset and entrepreneurial drive
• A knack for translating business goals into creative, cross-platform solutions
• Excellent relationship skills and a strong communicator
• Experience with CRM systems like Salesforce and a data-informed approach to sales

Why This Role Stands Out

• Strategic seat at the table: You'll shape the revenue model and influence business direction
• Creative freedom: Build a monetization strategy that's as dynamic as the brand itself
• Mission-driven: Help reshape how visitors engage with Hawaii—ethically, responsibly, and with intention
• First sales hire: High autonomy and the chance to make your mark

Starting Annual Salary: Base salary plus commission, commensurate with experience and budget approved.
