Director of Sales & Marketing - Kimpton Mayfair Adelaide

Join the iconic Mayfair Adelaide as we step into something new.

Nestled in the heart of Adelaide’s vibrant CBD, the beloved Mayfair Hotel is entering an exciting new chapter—transforming into Kimpton Mayfair Adelaide in 2026.

At Kimpton, we do things differently. We’re the original boutique lifestyle brand—known for delivering luxury with a wink: sophisticated, yes—but never stuffy.
We create spaces that feel, experiences that connect, and moments that are personal, playful and a little unexpected.

This is your opportunity to be part of a transformation where timeless elegance meets bold personality—bringing together the Mayfair’s distinctive character with Kimpton’s signature energy, creativity and human connection.

We’re looking for a Director of Sales & Marketing who…

…does more than drive revenue.

You’re a storyteller, a connector, and a commercial leader who knows how to position a hotel as not just a place to stay—but a place people are drawn to, talk about, and come back to.

You’ll shape how Kimpton Mayfair Adelaide shows up in market—building a brand that feels vibrant, locally loved, and unmistakably Kimpton.

A little taste of your day-to-day

Every day is different—but expect to:

• Shape our story – defining a clear, differentiated position in the market that brings Kimpton’s personality to life while delivering strong commercial outcomes

• Create connection – building meaningful relationships with clients, partners and the local community, positioning the hotel as a true social hub

• Drive performance – developing and executing strategic sales and marketing plans that grow revenue, market share and brand preference

• Bring the brand to life – leading campaigns, partnerships and experiences that reflect a design-led, locally inspired, and delightfully unexpected approach

• Lead your team – building and inspiring a high-performing, creative team where individuality is encouraged and ideas are welcomed

• Champion digital and content – ensuring every touchpoint, from social to distribution, reflects the brand’s voice and drives performance

• Collaborate globally, act locally – working across IHG commercial teams while ensuring our voice stays distinctly Kimpton

We don’t follow scripts—we follow instincts. We create experiences that are warm, intuitive and refreshingly unscripted, where guests (and colleagues) feel seen, welcomed and inspired.
