Head of Sales & Partnerships
Job Overview
About Us
Dorsia is at the forefront of hospitality-tech innovation, redefining how the world gains access to the most in-demand restaurants, events, and experiences. By fusing cutting-edge technology with the art of luxury hospitality, we empower our members to secure impossible-to-get reservations while providing operators with unprecedented levels of control, visibility, and revenue optimization.
As a fast-growing startup backed by over $50M from top-tier investors including Index Ventures, along with strategic industry partners such as Major Food Group (Carbone, Torrisi, etc.), Groot Hospitality (Casadonna, Papi Steak, etc.), and Gracious Hospitality (COTE, Coqodaq, etc.), we are rapidly expanding our footprint and reshaping the global hospitality landscape with proven expertise. We’re adding exceptional talent to drive our next phase of growth, and that’s where you come in.
About the Role
Dorsia is seeking a Head of Sales & Partnerships to lead and scale our luxury sponsorship and partnership revenue function. This is a player-coach role: you’ll carry an individual quota while leading and mentoring a high-performing team of 2–3 sellers across digital media, experiential events, and integrated brand partnerships. In parallel, you will build the foundational systems, pipeline rigor, and team structure required to drive sustained growth.
This role is ideal for a strategic, hands-on sales leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, excels at cross-channel storytelling, and is equally comfortable navigating digital ecosystems and IRL experiences. You will partner closely with our SVP of Strategic Growth, collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing and Events, and convert top-of-funnel strategic introductions into long-term, high-value brand partnerships.

Our Core Values
Lead with hospitality. We respect the craft and precision that are intrinsic to the hospitality industry. We are a team diverse in background and thought, built to be the connective tissue between artists, chefs, diners, and members.
Mise en place. We are persistent in preparation, prioritization, and focus to anticipate our customers’ needs to create a powerful platform rooted in simplicity and elegance. And we know that details matter, which is why superior design is crucial to our brand ethos. Thoughtful design is baked into everything we do—our product, brand, creative, culture, and beyond.
Go around the table—then commit. We know creativity takes feedback and iteration, and differing opinions can lead to healthy debate. While we encourage all voices to speak up and be heard, we are geared toward action and unify around the decision once it's made. Sometimes an individual idea or project may not be what’s best for the company, so don’t be afraid to kill your darlings.
Our product is our signature dish. We are a product and marketing-led organization. Protecting our brand and vision needs to be top-of-mind with every move we make.
Optimize turn times. We are creating beautifully-designed, tech-forward solutions to automate all sides of our business: for members, restaurants, and employees. And we’re laying a data-rich foundation to enable all stakeholders to make better decisions and enjoy the finer things in life.
Savor it. We eat slowly and celebrate the wins we share with those around the table. We’re in this for the long-haul, so enjoy the ride.
Stay hungry. We can change the world or someone else will. We believe in a sense of urgency to keep pushing toward our goals. And there’s always room for dessert, because there’s always more to do.
