Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Sales Business Development Jobs at Hilton Jobs
Align your credentials to hospitality sales standards
Hilton's Sales Business Development roles consistently require demonstrated B2B sales experience in hospitality or travel. Before applying, document measurable revenue outcomes, account management wins, and any group or corporate travel portfolio experience that maps directly to hotel sales functions.
Target Hilton's enterprise and national accounts teams
Hilton fills Sales Business Development roles across its corporate sales divisions and individual properties. Roles tied to national accounts or global sales programs tend to have more structured sponsorship pathways than property-level positions, so prioritize those when searching open listings.
Understand where H-2B fits and where it does not
H-2B is a temporary nonimmigrant classification for seasonal or peak-period nonagricultural roles. Sales Business Development positions requiring ongoing client relationships and year-round business development activity are less likely to be classified as H-2B eligible than operational hospitality roles.
Confirm your role qualifies as a specialty occupation
For H-1B sponsorship, USCIS requires the position to be a specialty occupation typically requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Sales strategy, business development, or hospitality management degrees strengthen the specialty occupation argument for these roles at Hilton.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Hilton's sponsored openings
Not every Sales Business Development posting at Hilton is attached to a sponsorship pathway. Use Migrate Mate to filter Hilton's open roles specifically by visa sponsorship history, so you're only spending time on positions with a realistic path to authorization.
Request written confirmation of sponsorship intent before accepting
Once Hilton extends an offer, ask HR to confirm in writing whether the role includes H-1B or other visa sponsorship before your start date. The I-129 petition and LCA filing with DOL must be completed by your employer, so confirming intent early prevents delays or misaligned expectations.

Find Sales Business Development at Hilton JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Hilton sponsor H-1B visas for Sales Business Developments?
Hilton does sponsor H-1B visas for eligible roles, but not every Sales Business Development position automatically qualifies. The role must meet USCIS's specialty occupation standard, which requires a theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a specific field. Roles with strong analytical or strategic business development requirements tend to be the most defensible for H-1B classification.
Which visa types are commonly used for Sales Business Development roles at Hilton?
H-1B is the most common work visa for Sales Business Development roles at Hilton, given that these positions typically require a degree in business, hospitality management, or a related field. H-2B sponsorship is also part of Hilton's filing history, though it's more commonly used for seasonal operational roles. If you're an Australian citizen, the E-3 visa is another option worth discussing with Hilton's HR team.
What qualifications or experience does Hilton expect for Sales Business Development roles?
Hilton typically expects candidates to have a bachelor's degree in business, hospitality management, or marketing, combined with direct B2B sales experience in the hotel or travel industry. Familiarity with group sales, national corporate accounts, or hotel revenue management processes strengthens your profile. Prior experience using hospitality CRM platforms and a demonstrated record of hitting revenue targets are common baseline expectations across Hilton's sales hiring.
How do I apply for Sales Business Development jobs at Hilton?
You can browse and apply for Sales Business Development roles at Hilton directly through Hilton's careers portal. To find roles that include visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate to filter Hilton's open positions by sponsorship history before you apply. Tailor your resume to highlight hospitality sales outcomes and account management experience, since Hilton's recruiting teams screen for measurable revenue contributions from the start.
How do I plan around the H-1B timeline when targeting Hilton for sponsorship?
The H-1B cap-subject lottery opens in March each year, with petitions filed in April for an October 1 start date. If you're targeting Hilton and need cap-subject H-1B sponsorship, you'll need an offer in place before March registration. Hilton must submit your registration through USCIS's electronic system before the lottery closes, so starting conversations with hiring managers at least three to four months before March gives you realistic runway.
