About The Position

Davidson Hospitality Group is seeking a dynamic, results-driven Corporate Director of Integrated Marketing to provide strategic marketing leadership across an assigned portfolio of hotels and resorts. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced hospitality marketing professional who brings a strong track record of leadership, commercial expertise, and the ability to guide and influence marketing teams across multiple properties. In this highly visible, above-property leadership role, you'll serve as a trusted strategic advisor to property marketing teams, general managers, regional leadership, commercial teams, and ownership. You'll play a critical role in coaching and developing property marketing leaders, elevating marketing performance, and ensuring strategies align with each hotel's unique business objectives, revenue priorities, and brand positioning. You'll provide strategic direction and oversight across the full spectrum of integrated marketing, including digital marketing, paid media, public relations, social media, brand storytelling, and guest engagement. Rather than managing day-to-day execution, you'll empower property teams with the guidance, resources, accountability, and expertise needed to deliver exceptional results. Working collaboratively with Davidson's corporate marketing resources, agency partners, and hotel leadership teams, you'll identify growth opportunities, strengthen marketing effectiveness, share best practices, and drive measurable commercial success across the portfolio. Success in this role requires more than exceptional marketing expertise. We're looking for a confident, collaborative leader with strong commercial acumen, analytical thinking, exceptional relationship-building skills, and a demonstrated ability to influence, mentor, and develop teams while balancing the diverse needs of multiple hotels and ownership groups. This position is remote; however, candidates must reside in the Southeastern United States to effectively support our regional portfolio of hotels and resorts. Travel to assigned properties will be required. If you're a strategic thinker, passionate hospitality marketer, and proven leader who's ready to make an impact beyond a single property, we'd love to hear from you!

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
5+ years of progressive hospitality marketing experience, including at least 2 years in a director-level hospitality marketing role; multi-property or above-property marketing experience preferred.
Demonstrated success leading, coaching, and developing hospitality marketing teams, including the ability to influence property-level marketing leaders and drive accountability without direct reporting authority.
Proven experience partnering with hotel ownership groups, general managers, and commercial leadership teams to influence marketing strategy and business performance.
Strong expertise in integrated marketing strategy, paid media, website optimization, SEO/AEO, social media, public relations, and email marketing.
Demonstrated ability to analyze marketing performance, translate data into actionable insights, and connect marketing strategies to measurable commercial outcomes.
Exceptional relationship-building, influencing, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills, with the confidence and credibility to lead and inspire teams without direct reporting authority.
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, responsiveness, organizational abilities, and commitment to delivering on expectations.
Ability to successfully manage priorities across multiple properties, adapt to changing business needs, and consistently meet commitments in a dynamic hospitality environment.
Experience working with independent hotels and major hospitality brands, including Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt.
Proficiency with common business productivity tools and familiarity with hospitality marketing systems, analytics tools, and reporting platforms.
Must reside in the Southeastern United States and be willing to travel to assigned hotels and resorts and work varied hours as business needs require.
