Head of Sales & Partnerships

About Us

Dorsia is at the forefront of hospitality-tech innovation, redefining how the world gains access to the most in-demand restaurants, events, and experiences. By fusing cutting-edge technology with the art of luxury hospitality, we empower our members to secure impossible-to-get reservations while providing operators with unprecedented levels of control, visibility, and revenue optimization. 

As a fast-growing startup backed by over $50M from top-tier investors including Index Ventures, along with strategic industry partners such as Major Food Group (Carbone, Torrisi, etc.), Groot Hospitality (Casadonna, Papi Steak, etc.), and Gracious Hospitality (COTE, Coqodaq, etc.), we are rapidly expanding our footprint and reshaping the global hospitality landscape with proven expertise. We’re adding exceptional talent to drive our next phase of growth, and that’s where you come in.

About the Role

Dorsia is seeking a Head of Sales & Partnerships to lead and scale our luxury sponsorship and partnership revenue function. This is a player-coach role: you’ll carry an individual quota while leading and mentoring a high-performing team of 2–3 sellers across digital media, experiential events, and integrated brand partnerships. In parallel, you will build the foundational systems, pipeline rigor, and team structure required to drive sustained growth.

This role is ideal for a strategic, hands-on sales leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, excels at cross-channel storytelling, and is equally comfortable navigating digital ecosystems and IRL experiences. You will partner closely with our SVP of Strategic Growth, collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing and Events, and convert top-of-funnel strategic introductions into long-term, high-value brand partnerships.
