Senior Social Media Specialist - Hotels.comWe create and deliver an aligned, dedicated marketing strategy to fuel each Expedia Group brand''s success. Since our travelers interact with us through our brands, we have a brand focus in our marketing, while leveraging the scale and efficiency we’ve built in functional expertise.

If your algorithm regularly serves you travel hacks, viral hotel reviews, or memes about why we all secretly love hotel robes, chances are you already know Hotels.com doesn’t just help people book places to stay - we help them find the right place to stay. From partnering with creators who make destination recs feel like inside jokes to showing up in culture through bold, thumb-stopping campaigns, Hotels.com is redefining what travel looks and feels like online.

This role is for the curious, creative social media native who understands that today’s travelers aren’t just looking for deals. They’re looking for connection, community, and content worth sharing. If you’ve ever looked at a TikTok about the “top 5 underrated hotels” and thought, I could’ve made that better, we want you on our team. As part of the marketing org, you’ll develop platform-first campaigns that bring the Hotels.com voice to life across TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, and emerging channels. You’ll be the glue between our social strategy, creative execution, and content community, helping travelers discover their next stay while making them laugh (or double-tap) along the way.

In this role, you will:

Shape and execute bold, insight-driven social strategy that resonates with modern travelers, including Gen Z solo explorers and millennials planning group trips

Collaborate with creatives, marketers, and agency partners to elevate Hotels.com''s online presence by leveraging culture, travel trends, and fandom behavior

Monitor online conversations and listen for cultural moments and brand-relevant trends we can tap into

Work with influencers, agencies, and content creators to co-create authentic, share-worthy work that resonates across travel communities

Help track and report performance data, interpret results, and turn insights into content optimizations

Stay plugged into emerging platforms and travel-specific social trends, and recommend how we evolve our presence accordingly

Experience and qualifications:

A creative and strategic thinker with a minimum of 2 years of experience managing social media accounts for a brand, agency, or travel-related platform

Experienced with tools to manage publishing, listening, and reporting

Comfortable collaborating across teams and timelines, with an ability to juggle multiple projects while keeping an eye on the big picture

Interested in travel culture, content creation, and the internet’s ability to shape where we go and how we get there
