Senior Strategic Account Executive, Hotels
The Role
You’ll own and grow ClassPass’s strategic hotel partnerships, building a repeatable commercial motion that expands how members discover and book real-world wellness experiences. This role blends segment strategy with hands-on deal execution, and works closely with cross-functional partners to shape an offering that makes sense for hotel and spa economics while strengthening the ClassPass marketplace.
You’ll own a portfolio of strategic hotel accounts end to end, from prospecting through negotiation, close, and launch. You’ll build and execute the hotel segment strategy, prioritizing brands, regions, and account types that unlock the most value for members and partners. You’ll lead complex, multi-stakeholder negotiations across brand, property, ownership, spa, revenue, legal, and finance teams. You’ll structure commercial agreements that balance partner economics, member experience, and ClassPass platform health, including inventory access, pricing, and key terms.
You’ll develop senior relationships within hotel brands, ownership groups, and management companies to drive adoption and long-term retention. You’ll partner with Product, Pricing and Inventory, Marketing, Legal, and Finance to reduce onboarding friction and unlock new hotel use cases. You’ll translate ambiguous market signals into clear plans, aligning stakeholders on scope, tradeoffs, and execution. You’ll serve as a hotels and spas category expert, sharing insights on dynamics, deal structures, and stakeholder navigation with peers and junior team members.
