Hotel Contractor – Luxury Travel

Location: Fully Remote Type: Independent Contractor – Commission Only Start (No base salary yet) Company: Early-stage luxury travel platform

About the Role

We are recruiting for one of our portfolio companies — an ambitious early-stage luxury travel platform building a carefully curated collection of extraordinary hotels, private villas, and bespoke experiences for high-net-worth clients. We’re looking for an experienced Hotel Contractor to join at this exciting early stage. You will start on a generous commission-only contract with strong earning potential, with a base salary becoming available as the platform grows and scales. This role is ideal for someone who already has stable income streams and wants to add a high-margin revenue stream by contracting luxury hotels and expanding both our portfolio and your own client offerings.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and onboard exceptional 5-star+ hotels, private villas, boutique resorts, and ultra-luxury properties that align with our luxury standards.
• Negotiate attractive commission rates, upgrades, amenities, and preferred partnership terms.
• Build and grow relationships with hotel sales directors, GMs, and owners.
• Secure unique VIP experiences and bespoke offerings for clients.
• Collaborate with our product team to match properties to client requirements.
• Help shape and expand our hotel portfolio as we grow.

Requirements & Experience

• 3+ years of hands-on experience contracting or selling luxury hotels (for agencies, operators, or as an independent advisor).
• Existing relationships with luxury hotel groups (Aman, Four Seasons, Rosewood, Belmond, Six Senses, Oetker Collection, etc.) are a big advantage.
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a startup environment.
• Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Existing client base or other income streams preferred — this role is designed to complement what you already do.

Compensation

Highly competitive commission-only structure with very generous payout rates (significantly above standard industry levels). Earnings are directly tied to the bookings generated through the hotels you contract. A profitable “add-on” to your current business, earning substantial supplemental income with relatively low additional effort once properties are onboarded.

What We Offer

• Very attractive commission percentages and fast payment terms.
• Full flexibility as an independent contractor — work when and where you want.
• Opportunity to grow with a fast-moving startup (potential for equity or enhanced terms as we scale).
• Coverage of all travel expenses for site visits and key industry events.
• Access to fam trips and hotel partner benefits.
• Direct impact on building a new luxury platform from the ground up.

This is an excellent opportunity for established travel professionals who want to monetize their hotel relationships without taking on extra overhead or risk.

How to Apply

Please send your resume/CV and a short note including:

• Your current professional situation
• Your strongest luxury hotel relationships or specialist regions
• One recent negotiation or partnership success you’re proud of

We move fast and are excited to partner with the right people.
