Director of Marketing

We’re looking for a passionate and strategic **Director of Marketing** to lead our creative team, elevate our brand, and champion the next chapter of our growth story.

At **d3h Hotels Inc.**, we’re more than just a hotel management company — we’re 13 properties strong across Saskatchewan and Alberta, proudly operating under the **Days Inn** and **Home Hotels** brands (yes, that one’s homegrown by us). For over 28 years, we’ve believed that when we take care of our people, they’ll take care of our guests — and that belief continues to shape everything we do. We are deeply rooted in our values of Work Ethic, Engagement, Integrity, Fairness and Growth.

Our culture is built around **sharing Authentic Prairie Hospitality** — the kind that feels genuine, warm, and rooted in integrity. To us, it means working hard, treating everyone with respect, supporting one another like family, and always striving to do better. We’re not your typical hotel company — and we’re proud of that.

As our next Director of Marketing, you’ll blend creativity with strategy to tell our story in new and inspiring ways. You’ll lead a talented team in shaping campaigns that spark connection, build loyalty, and drive measurable growth across every channel. If you’re driven by purpose, inspired by people, and ready to make a meaningful impact, we’d love to welcome you into our d3h family.
