Job Summary

Community and performance go hand in hand-and this role sits at the intersection of both. As Community & Paid Media Specialist, you'll be responsible for managing daily social engagement while executing paid social campaigns that support brand awareness, engagement, and conversion across Mainsail Lodging & Development's growing portfolio of more than 20 distinct concepts, each supported by multi-platform social presences, with new hotels and outlets launching regularly.

From responding to guests and amplifying user-generated content to launching and optimizing paid campaigns, this role plays a key part in how our brands show up-and how they're experienced-on social media. You'll work closely with the Social Media Manager and broader corporate marketing team to ensure campaigns are thoughtful, timely, and performance-driven, while maintaining a strong, consistent brand presence.

Please note: This position is a hybrid role based out of Mainsail's corporate headquarters in Tampa, not Epicurean Hotel.
