Job Description

Carlsbad Beach Hotel Properties is seeking a Social Media & Content Coordinator for our stunning beachfront hotel. This is a part-time-Hybrid position (10-15 hours per week).

Our hotels, totaling under 100 rooms, 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.

Our company offers a congenial work environment and inspiring and zen feeling ocean views.
