About this role
On's Cluster Reservations and Revenue Optimization Manager role sits at the intersection of commercial strategy and operational execution across multiple properties. You'll partner with revenue management and cluster leadership to drive occupancy, rate, and RevPAR performance through pricing recommendations, channel optimization, and demand forecasting, while simultaneously owning the day-to-day accuracy and efficiency of reservations operations—managing rates, inventory, deposits, and guest requests across systems and ensuring your team handles inquiries correctly and promptly.
This is a leadership and analytical role that demands both commercial acumen and operational rigor.
