Alila Mayakoba is seeking a strategic and commercially driven Group Sales Manager based in the Midwest USA with deep expertise in the incentive market. This individual will increase the resort’s share of the luxury incentive group market by developing new accounts, deepening existing relationships, and converting programs currently placed with competing resorts and destinations. The role requires a sophisticated understanding of incentive houses, third-party meeting and incentive companies, corporate reward programs, client qualification cycles, and the operational details that make a high-value incentive program successful. The strongest candidate is a true incentive-market seller and market creator, not only an account caretaker. They understand the difference between a traditional meeting, an incentive program, and a luxury reward experience. They know how to influence a program before an RFP exists, translate client objectives into destination and resort value, navigate complex decision-making, and create confidence with incentive professionals and senior corporate stakeholders. They are resilient through long sales cycles, highly organized, commercially disciplined, creative in their approach, and skilled at turning relationships into measurable production.

Midwest Market Scope
The seller will build a focused territory strategy across major Midwest business centers, including Chicago, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Detroit, Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City, and other priority markets identified through account potential. The territory includes corporate incentive buyers, incentive travel agencies, DMC and event partners, meeting and procurement professionals, and high-value accounts in industries such as financial services, insurance, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, technology, and professional services.
