Job Description

What's The Job?

Dexterra Group is hiring a strategic and results-driven Director of Sales to lead regional growth initiatives, drive revenue, and build lasting client relationships for our Dana Hospitality division. This leadership role is ideal for someone who knows how to build strong client relationships, lead a team, thrives in dynamic environments and is passionate about delivering innovative solutions to complex client needs.

About the Role

As a key member of the leadership team, the Director of Sales plays a key part in shaping regional strategy, identifying new business opportunities, and guiding the team through complex proposals and pitches. You’ll be working closely with internal partners across operations, culinary, marketing, and technical support to deliver smart, competitive solutions that meet client needs.

It’s a hands-on leadership role with a mix of strategy, relationship-building, and team development. Frequent travel is part of the job, and so is the ability to think on your feet, adapt to changing market conditions, and bring people together to win business.

Lead the development of tailored proposals that speak directly to those needs.
Pull together the right internal team to build strong, competitive bids.
Make sure pricing and financial models align with our goals and risk standards.

Team Leadership & Communication

Set clear goals and keep the team focused on results.
Ensure accurate reporting and CRM data management.
Track activity, forecast targets, and help close deals.
Build a deep understanding of our people, capabilities, and value proposition.
Lead, coach, and support the business development team through regular feedback and performance reviews.

Ensure we’re operating with integrity and in line with company policies.

A strong track record of winning large contracts and managing executive-level relationships.
Experience in premium food services is a bonus.
Solid financial literacy and negotiation skills.
