The Strategic Accounts team at ClassPass is responsible for the vision, growth, and development of key strategic partners across the Strategic Accounts organization. We're hiring our first Senior Strategic Account Executive dedicated to Hotels & Spas. This person will define how ClassPass shows up in the hospitality category and bring marquee hotel and resort partners onto the platform. This is a high-ownership, individual contributor role for someone who wants to build a new vertical with the backing of an established commercial team. The Senior Strategic Account Executive will operate with autonomy, manage complex and ambiguous deal structures, influence cross-functional product and commercial strategy, and serve as the internal subject matter expert for the hotels vertical. You'll own the full sales cycle for strategic hotel accounts: identifying the right partners, building executive-level relationships, structuring commercial agreements, and partnering with internal teams to launch and scale those partnerships. You'll understand and navigate how a hotel revenue leader thinks, what a hotel spa director cares about, and how to sell into a multi-property group.

The Role You'll Play

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.

 The Experience You’ll Bring

• 6+ years of experience in strategic sales, partnerships, or business development, including closing complex hospitality deals  


• Deep experience in hospitality, hotels, travel, or an adjacent category, with strong fluency in hotel and spa economics
