Our mission is to create the Experience of a Lifetime for our employees, so they can, in turn, create the Experience of a Lifetime for our guests. We own and operate the most renowned destination resorts in the world as well as regional and local ski areas outside major cities, and connect them all through one unrivaled network.

Candidates for year-round positions are reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications will be accepted up to 90 days after the posting date, or until the position is filled (whichever is first).

We are seeking one Sales Manager to join our Northeast Regional Sales and Service Team to actively drive group business across five iconic northeast mountain resorts while embodying Vail Resorts' mission, values, and commitment to exceptional guest experiences.

This high-impact, revenue-driving position is based at Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont, and collaborates with a Sales and Service Team managing groups for Mount Snow, Stowe Mountain Resort, Mount Sunapee, Okemo, and Hunter Mountain as well.

We seek an individual who demonstrates agility and adaptability, takes initiative, and thrives as a team player. Must have exceptional communication and computer skills along with strong mountain business instincts (or knowledgeable about skiing/riding). Some travel will be required.

This role is ideal for someone who creates opportunities, not waits for them—a relationship-builder who understands how to open doors, close deals, and grow accounts while contributing positively to a high-performing sales and service culture.
