Director of Sales & Marketing

A bold reimagining of luxury, Kuredhivaru Resort and Spa is a secluded retreat in the Maldives’ Noonu Atoll, just 45 minutes from Malé. With 72 overwater villas, 30 beach villas, and three opulent residences, every stay blends comfort, style, and privacy. Guests can indulge in the Sun Spa, dive into adventure, or savour culinary creativity across four exceptional restaurants. From serene escapes to thrilling experiences, Kuredhivaru inspires every traveller with boundless imagination.

The Opportunity:

Kuredhivaru Resort and Spa is entering a pivotal moment in its history. For the past seven years, we have established ourselves as a market leader with exceptional commercial performance and a strong, stable financial foundation.

Now, we are evolving. We are transitioning from a successful white-label property into a distinct Lifestyle Deluxe Resort.

We are seeking a Director of Sales & Marketing to lead this evolution. This is an ideal role for a dynamic leader, whether an experienced DOSM or a high-performing Director of Sales ready to step up, who wants to apply their creativity to a property that is already successful but ready to reach new heights.

Your Mission

You will lead the commercial strategy during this rebranding phase. We are looking for a leader who respects the fundamentals of the Maldives market but is not afraid to challenge the status quo to find new competitive advantages.

• Lead the Evolution: You will work closely with the General Manager to redefine our market positioning, moving the resort into the "Lifestyle" luxury segment.
• Unify the Vision: You will bring the Sales and Marketing teams together under one cohesive strategy, ensuring our brand story matches our commercial goals.
• Drive Performance: Building on our strong existing occupancy, you will identify new revenue streams and high-yield opportunities, particularly within the Middle East and luxury leisure segments.

Why Join Us?

• Make an Impact: This is a rare opportunity to lead a rebranding project for an established, successful property.
• Professional Growth: We offer a platform for you to showcase your strategic vision, supported by Ennismore’s development programs.
• Competitive Package: Attractive salary, benefits, and global perks including discounted rates at Accor hotels worldwide.

Who We Are Looking For

• A Modern Leader: You are a hands on commercial strategist. You don’t manage from a spreadsheet; you are visible, engaged, and deeply involved in the daily rhythm of the business.
• Creative & Strategic: You understand the traditional Maldives tour operator model, but you are also digital-savvy and ready to implement "out of the box" marketing strategies to drive direct business and brand visibility.
• A Mentor: You are passionate about developing talent. You can motivate a diverse team to achieve ambitious targets while fostering a positive, collaborative culture.
• Experienced: Minimum 2–3 years as a DOSM or 5+ years in a senior sales leadership role within a 5 star or luxury resort environment. Maldives experience is highly preferred.

Our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:

We are an inclusive company and our ambition is to attract, recruit and promote diverse talent.
