Be Part of Something New and Meaningful!
At Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney, we’re rethinking hospitality—putting community, sustainability, and self-expression at the heart of everything we do. Designed to be of the community, not just in it, Caption by Hyatt is the first of its kind in Australia, offering a vibrant, people-first experience that’s as much about connection as it is about comfort.
We’re looking for a Director of Sales and Marketing to lead our Sales & Marketing function—an experienced, commercially minded leader who can shape strategy, drive revenue, build brand presence, and create meaningful connections across the market. If you're passionate about hotel commercial performance, client relationships, creative marketing, food and beverage, community partnerships, and leading a department with purpose, this could be the perfect role for you.

About the Role
As Director of Sales and Marketing, you’ll lead the development and execution of the hotel’s sales and marketing strategy, with responsibility for driving total hotel revenue, building market presence, growing key accounts, and positioning Caption by Hyatt Central Sydney as a preferred choice for guests, clients, partners, and the local community.
