The Sunny gives this person a lot to work with: a beachfront hotel, restaurants and bars, a pool and beach, events, interesting guests, food, design, music, partnerships, and the everyday moments that make a hotel feel alive. We are looking for someone who knows how to find the story in all of it - and turn it into content people actually want to watch, follow, save, and share.
This is a highly hands-on creative role. You should be as comfortable behind a camera as you are in the edit, with a strong understanding of composition, light, pacing, sound, and social-first storytelling. You know the difference between content that is technically good and content that has a point of view, and you have the taste and judgment to make The Sunny feel distinctive rather than like every other hotel on Instagram.
You will own the day-to-day execution of The Sunny's social presence - from developing ideas and capturing original content to editing, publishing, community engagement, and coordinating creators and influencers. You will work within the broader brand strategy and creative direction established by the Senior Director of Brand & Strategic Operations, with day-to-day direction and support from the Senior Manager, Brand Experiences.
We are looking for someone curious, observant, proactive, and deeply tuned into culture and the way people consume content now. Someone who notices the moment worth capturing before anyone has to ask, brings ideas to the table, and is excited to build a social presence that feels unmistakably like The Sunny.
