Social Media Coordinator

Carlsbad Beach Hotel Properties is seeking a Marketing & Social Media Coordinator (part-time) for our stunning beachfront hotel!

Our hotels, totaling under 100 rooms, have recently undergone almost $6 million in renovations. They boast oceanfront views and loyal, highly satisfied clientele. Here, we urge our employees to slow down and take care of our guests and each other. We establish high standards and aggressive goals, but we work together to achieve them. As hotel operators, we are proud to be 'fiercely independent', refusing to live by the frustrating traditional cycle of unreasonable demands coupled with retreating resources.

Assist properties with additional hotel marketing functions, including but not limited to reputation management, review responses, content curation, website maintenance, third party platform management and email marketing campaigns.

Our strongest asset as a hotel is our location, the ‘private’ beach that is our backyard. Our Associates will ensure every guest feels a personal connection to our little corner of the world. Our company offers a congenial work environment and inspiring and zen feeling ocean views.
