    Default job background
    Description

    About Us
    Green Key Global is a leading international environmental certification body that offers standardized programs and resources, designed specifically for the hotel and meetings industries. Affordable programs, including the Green Key Eco-Rating and the Green Key Meetings Programs, help our members leverage organizational corporate social responsibility activities and support sustainable initiatives across their properties and brands to benefit the environment and improve fiscal performance and community relations. With over 20 participating countries and a notable mix of branded and independent members, Green Key Global is truly the hotel and lodging industry's sustainable certification program of choice.

    Green Key Global is jointly owned and operated by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (US) and the Hotel Association of Canada (HAC), who have recently unified to deliver a singular solution for hotel sustainability certification in North America. The Green Key Global program is poised for significant growth as this partnership will accelerate its penetration into the US market, and is therefore investing in resources to support the strategic and operational expansion of the program.

In addition, you'll seek to develop and manage new strategic industry partnerships that will augment marketing efforts, prepare, and present conference material when needed, and contribute to quarterly board meetings.

    As part of the senior leadership team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the strategic evolution of the business, ensuring that sustainability trends are well incorporated into our product and market strategy, that member experience is optimized and that program enhancements are incorporated into the member journey.

    • Create go-to market plans for new program tools, ensuring that GKG maximizes usage among members throughout their lifecycle.
    Channel Strategy

    • Lead a revamp of Green Key Global's website.
    • Develop and manage the site's ad content calendar.
    • Create channel specific metrics and associated measurement plans to report on member activity.
