Marketing & Community Manager OEM

We are seeking a community focused Director of Marketing & Community Manager for the Ace Hotel & Swim Club.  Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs is a mid-century modern marvel.  Dressed up with two deep pools, a stargazing deck, community fire pits and an organic spa offering a multitude of treatments, the hotel is responsive to its Sonoran surroundings - simple, serene, bohemian and swathed in sunlight.  We've got a refined roadside diner and a cool, hideaway cocktail bar, plus poolside bites and drinks.  Ace Hotel & Swim Club is an open sanctuary synonymous with the desert's free-spirited mysticism.

At Evolution Hospitality, the Lifestyle hotel vertical of Aimbridge Hospitality, we're passionate about individuals who are unafraid to test new ideas, to shed their ego for the good of the company, and to always strive to make it better than it was before.  Talented and exceptional people who love what they do.  Come grow with us, we look forward to receiving your application.
