Digital Marketing Manager

Digital Marketing Manager

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.
