Happy Hospitality

Job Posting : Social Media Coordinator

About the Company :

We are a highly motivated bunch who seek to create a space where you know you are going to have a good time. We are known for our art-inspired spaces that are great for social gatherings. Our restaurants are wall to wall with lights, murals, and vignettes.

We are the marinara-muddled minds behind Happy Camper, Homeslice, and Paradise Park restaurants. Our brand is glued together by our company culture. Many of our employees have been with the company from the first installment of the brand, Homeslice, and a common thread we share is paying a distinct amount of attention to detail in creating this atmosphere. Currently, we are looking for other team members who would like to grow their careers within the hospitality industry.

This job is for someone who may be looking for something more unconventional than a downtown office and who values building the customer experience from the ground up. The ideal candidate wants something more than a cubical and to really enjoy their work environment and the people they work with. With a restaurant group expanding as rapidly as we have, we need someone who is self-motivated and willing to take initiative.

Job Summary :

As a Social Media Coordinator, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining a monthly content schedule. You will develop original content and suggest creative ways to attract more customers and promote our brand. Ultimately, you should be able to increase web traffic and customer engagement metrics aligned with broader marketing strategies. The successful candidate is a highly motivated self-starter who is organized and excited by creating digital content. This role will report directly to Operations and work closely with various members of the management team across all locations.

The role provides an opportunity to grow and develop in an organization with a mission that has real positive social impact, in addition to aggressive business goals. This is an exempt role with hours scheduled Monday through Friday, 9 : 00am – 5 : 00pm. Additional hours as required. This is not a remote position.

We highly value creating a company that represents diversity across many lines, including race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender identity, sex, and country of origin, national origin or ancestry, citizenship status, age, physical or mental disability unrelated to ability, sexual orientation, military status or unfavorable discharge from military service.

Casual dress code. A work environment where employees can feel relaxed and able to focus on tasks.

Creative work environment. We also settle in and get a lot done in an open and collaborative, but focused environment. Free food and coffee.
