About The Position

At Makeready we are searching for curious self-starters with a genuine interest in people. These hard-working individuals have always had a natural bend toward hospitality, no matter where they work, because they’ve always seen themselves as part of something bigger. As an Area Director of Revenue Management, you’ll shape the revenue management and distribution strategy for The Junto and The Merchant Building (opening Winter 2027) — aligning insights with each hotel’s unique identity. You’ll lead forecasting, pricing, and inventory optimization while collaborating closely with Sales, Marketing, and Operations to bring our business goals to life. We’re seeking a forward-thinking leader who’s fluent in analytics, obsessed with performance, and inspired by partnership. This is more than a job about rates and restrictions — it’s about creating the right conditions for each property to thrive.
