What excites you

  • Being the person who shows up, builds trust, and becomes a known name in a community. You thrive when you're the go-to contact for a major partner.

  • Traveling regularly to meet hotel owners and AAHOA stakeholders face-to-face at conferences, regional meetings, town halls, golf outings. You know nothing replaces being in the room.

  • Owning a partnership end-to-end: co-marketing execution, event logistics, member outreach, adoption tracking, and relationship management with senior stakeholders.

  • Working with a small, fast-moving team where your work directly impacts the trajectory of a critical partnership.

  • Coordinating across internal teams (product, operations, leadership) and external stakeholders (AAHOA staff, GPOs, supplier contacts) to keep complex workstreams moving.

  • Working with Folio's leadership team to build a scalable partnerships structure and associated processes to enable the company to rapidly expand.

  • Having ownership and autonomy over how you manage your work.

What excites us

  • 5–8+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, account management, or a senior client-facing role, ideally in hospitality, procurement, or a high-growth startup environment.

  • You've managed complex, multi-stakeholder partnerships involving associations, GPOs, franchise networks, or membership organizations.

  • You have strong executive presence. You're comfortable presenting to a room of hotel owners, navigating a golf outing with AAHOA board members, or running a webinar for 200 attendees.

  • You're organized, detail-oriented, and thrive when you're juggling events, campaigns, and relationship touchpoints across a portfolio of stakeholders.

  • You're willing to travel 30–40%+ of the time, including to major hospitality conferences and AAHOA regional events across the US.

Bonus points for:

  • Gujarati language fluency (a significant portion of the AAHOA membership prefers to conduct business in Gujarati)

  • Experience in hospitality, hotel operations, or deep familiarity with the independent hotel ownership community

  • Existing relationships within the AAHOA network

  • Familiarity with GPOs or hospitality procurement

Working at Folio

  • We're a remote-first company. Quarterly, we travel to work together in-person and stay with one of our hotel partners.

  • For the most part, we rely on Google Meet, Linear, Notion, and Slack to make decisions and get things done day-to-day.

  • You will have the opportunity to travel frequently and meet our customers and partners in person.

  • We're a small team who work collaboratively and meet daily for stand up.

What we value

  • Craft. We take pride in our work, find joy in execution, and believe that the best companies are built at a steady yet resilient pace.

  • Optimism. We believe in ourselves and each other and know anything is possible with the right amount of hustle and grit.

  • Ownership. We love making things better and have a strong sense of shared responsibility over everything we create together.

  • Hospitality. The industry we’re building for has a culture of service to others, and we bring that energy to how we work together each day.
