The Director of Marketing leads the strategy, execution, and optimization of all marketing initiatives for the PMS Vertical. This role is responsible for driving market awareness, generating demand, and positioning the company as the trusted technology partner for property owners.

The Director develops and communicates a clear value proposition that highlights how the PMS simplifies daily operations, increases revenue, and reduces administrative burden for its customers. They oversee brand management, content strategy, digital marketing, events, product marketing, and customer advocacy programs.

This leader partners closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to ensure the company's messaging, go‑to‑market plans, and competitive positioning resonate with owners and general managers who often manage multiple roles within their hotels. The Director uses data-driven decision-making to optimize campaign performance, enhance lead quality, and accelerate customer acquisition and retention.

Ultimately, this role ensures the business unit stands out in a crowded hospitality tech landscape, builds trust with operators and owners, and drives consistent growth through effective storytelling, targeted campaigns, and a deep understanding of the PMS market.

• Segment lifecycle communications (new, at-risk, power users) to increase retention and reduce churn.
