Coastal Edge is looking for a Marketing Coordinator – Social Media & Events who is creative, organized, social-media savvy, and ready to turn ideas into content and experiences people want to be part of.
This isn't a role where you'll spend every day behind a desk. One day you may be creating a Reel or TikTok, the next you'll be capturing content in one of our stores, helping launch a promotion, or working an event in the community.
If you're looking to build real-world marketing experience while helping shape the personality of a lifestyle brand, we'd love to see what you can do.

- Turn ideas into real campaigns and experiences
- Help plan and execute community and in-store events
- Work with surf, skate, streetwear, and lifestyle brands
- Build a marketing portfolio with real-world work
- Gain experience across social media, events, content, partnerships, and brand marketing
- Grow your marketing career with Coastal Edge
What You'll DoSocial Media & Content
- Create engaging content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms
- Shoot photos and short-form video in stores, at events, and throughout the community
- Create Reels, TikToks, Stories, posts, and promotional content
- Stay on top of trends, sounds, content styles, and platform changes

- Coordinate event details, materials, vendors, partners, and promotions
- Help build relationships with local organizations, schools, athletes, creators, and community partners

Who You Are
You're creative - but you can also get things done.
You:
- Always have ideas for content
- Understand what makes someone stop scrolling
- Enjoy photography, video, design, or storytelling
- Are comfortable jumping between creative projects and event logistics
- Love working with people
- Are organized enough to manage multiple projects and deadlines
- Take initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do
- Aren't afraid to try something new
- Enjoy being part of a fast-moving, collaborative team
You don't have to be a surfer or skateboarder. But you should be excited about the Coastal Edge lifestyle, our customers, our community, and the brands we represent.
What You Bring
- Experience creating or managing social media content - professional, school, freelance, or personal projects all count
- Basic photo and video editing skills
- Familiarity with Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, or similar creative tools
- Understanding of Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and current social trends
- Strong writing and communication skills
- Good organizational and time-management skills
- Ability to attend events and work occasional evenings and weekends
- High school diploma or equivalent required
College coursework or a degree in Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, Digital Media, Graphic Design, or a related field is a plus - but creativity, initiative, and what you can show us matter too.
