Help make the world more hospitable

The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.

You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.

If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.

About the role

Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

About Mews

Mews is the hospitality operating system used by 15,000+ properties across 85 countries. In 2025, we processed nearly $20 billion in transactions through the platform. Millions of guests check in, pay and experience hotels through Mews every day – often without realising it.

We started in a single hotel in Prague in 2012. Today we're pre-IPO, scaling fast across North America, and the California market is a central part of what comes next.

We were named Best PMS of 2025 and 2026 – and twice recognised as a Best Place to Work in Hotel Tech. That doesn't happen without the right people.

The Role

It's impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a company moving this fast – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do, because this is a job description), it would be this:

As a Senior Account Executive for our SMB segment in California, you'll own a high-potential territory and play a defining role in how Mews grows in one of the most active independent hotel markets in the US. You'll work directly with hotel owners, GMs and operators who are actively rethinking how their properties run – helping them move away from legacy systems and adopt technology that was actually built for modern hospitality.

California is our #1 Tier 1 state in North America. The independent hotel market here – from wine country and coastal leisure corridors to boutique city properties and AAHOA owner communities – is moving.

For the right person, this is an opportunity to build a meaningful book of business in a market Mews is investing heavily in, with full manager support, a strong peer team and real visibility into North American growth.

What a strong week looks like
  • Running 2+ demos per day with hotel owners and GMs, positioning Mews against legacy systems with a clear, consultative narrative
  • Owning your outbound pipeline – average 70% of closed deals self-sourced through in-market activity, association events and direct outreach
  • Executing roadshow days across your territory: pre-booked anchor meetings, route-planned walk-ins and follow-up the same day
  • Managing a pipeline to consistently close $350k+ ARR per year and a 50-day average cycle
  • Use AI-assisted pipeline and forecasting tools to pressure-test deal health, spot risk early, and make weekly forecasts more accurate, not just faster.
  • Embed responsible, on-brand AI use into the team's playbook, knowing where AI adds genuine leverage and where the human relationship has to lead.
  • Set the standard for how you and your team uses AI day to day: account research and pre-call prep, drafting personalised outbound, summarising calls, and surfacing next-best-actions and less time on admin.
  • Showing up at AAHOA, CHLA and local hotel council events as a Mews spokesperson in the market
  • Logging, forecasting and iterating in Salesforce with the kind of discipline that makes your pipeline a source of truth, not a guess
Who you are

You don't need every box checked. But the profile that tends to succeed here looks like this:

You have a track record of closing new business.
You know how to build pipeline from scratch.
You understand the hospitality world and have deep experience in it.
You're already embedded in California. You know the market, you're willing to travel across it, and you're comfortable becoming a known face in the communities where hotel owners and operators spend their time.

Experience that signals a strong fit
  • 4+ years as a full-cycle Account Executive in SaaS, with demonstrated quota attainment
  • Background in hospitality tech (PMS, RMS, payments, guest experience platforms) or a deep hospitality career before crossing into SaaS sales
  • Familiarity with the California independent hotel landscape – independent properties, leisure and wine country corridors, AAHOA and CHLA owner communities
  • Experience selling against top competitors in your space
  • Comfortable with a fast-paced, high-velocity SMB motion with strong outbound discipline
  • Open to territory travel across CA (Travel throughout year around ~ 25%)
We also value: restaurant tech backgrounds (Toast, Lightspeed, Square), multi-product SaaS experience and active involvement in hospitality associations.

What you'll get

- Uncapped OTE with accelerators above quota
- Company shares – every Mewser is a part-owner
- Unlimited holiday (people actually take it)
- Best-in-class parental leave: 6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary
- Monthly home-office and healthcare allowances
- Workation policy – work from other countries for a few weeks each year
- Monthly EDGE days: protected time for learning, development and growth
- A manager who does ride-alongs, invests in messaging and builds a team that wins together

🤷🏻 Who is Mews?

We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012. What began in a single hotel in Prague now powers thousands of hotels around the world, as they pursue their mission to develop transformational solutions for brands and create remarkable experiences for guests.

Since the beginning, Mews embraced being different. Mews is not simply a property management system, but a connected hospitality cloud with products across the hotel ecosystem and more integrations than anyone else.

From global hospitality brands to independent properties, hoteliers join Mews because they recognize the power of innovation. They understand that they can benefit from hotel tech that drives efficiency, maximizes revenue, and improves guest happiness.

Powering over 5,000 customers across more than 85 countries, Mews Hospitality Cloud is designed to streamline operations for modern hoteliers, transform the guest experience and create more profitable businesses.

Ranked 24th in the FT 1000 list of the fastest-growing European companies in 2021, Mews has been recognized as the Best PMS by industry peers at the HotelTechAwards in both 2020 and 2024, consistently earning acclaim. Mews also achieved finalist status in 2021 and 2022. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.

💭 Life at Mews

That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.

Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

🤖 AI and Hiring at Mews

At Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanises it and makes it individually ours.

As you apply, feel free to use AI to help structure your thoughts — but ensure your application and conversations with us, reflect your personal opinions, capabilities and experience. We’re building an AI-enabled workforce, and that starts with people who think independently and bring fresh ideas to the table. Because at Mews, making work more human is the ultimate goal.

Life at Mews

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.

We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.

A few things that define how we work:

  • High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.
  • Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.
  • We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.
  • AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.

If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.

We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.

One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.

If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
