Director of Revenue Growth in Chicago, Illinois at The Gettys Group Companies

About The Gettys Group Companies

At Gettys, we believe exceptional hospitality begins long before a guest checks in. For more than 35 years, we've partnered with the world's leading hotel brands, ownership groups, and developers to create memorable hospitality experiences through design, procurement, branding, and development.

Today, Gettys is comprised of several complementary businesses—including Interior Design, Procurement, Branding, Gettys One, and Ridgeline Development Partners—giving our clients a fully integrated solution from concept through execution.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for a strategic revenue leader who can help connect these capabilities, expand our market presence, and build long-term client relationships that create value across the enterprise.

Position Summary
