2. Commercial Alignment

• Host and manage influencers, media, and content creators to ensure productive, brand-aligned visits.
• Maintain a current library of visual and narrative assets for ongoing use by home office teams.

4. Local Deployment & Execution

• Ensure all operational updates impacting marketing (hours, menus, pricing, programming) are accurate and communicated upstream on time.
• Oversee on-property execution for seasonal campaigns, F&B events, spa promotions, guest activations, and brand experiences.
• Confirm that all marketing deliverables from the home office are implemented within the required timeline.

5. Project Management & Cross-Department Coordination
• Serve as the project manager for all on-property marketing initiatives.
• Manage timelines, deliverables, and cross-departmental responsibilities for all marketing inputs.
• Track content needs, operational updates, approvals, deadlines, and deployment windows to ensure cohesive execution.
• Maintain a master property marketing calendar in alignment with home office marketing leadership (Performance & Brand).
• Identify risks, delays, or operational blockers early and communicate them to home office marketing leadership.
• Ensure all property departments provide the required inputs (menus, spa details, event information, photography requirements, operational changes) to home office teams on schedule.
