Job Description

Mission Pacific Beach & The Seabird Resorts, part of the independent collection by Hyatt, represent a unique blend of luxury, comfort, and unparalleled service in the hospitality industry. Situated in vibrant locations, these resorts cater to travelers seeking an elevated experience characterized by top-tier amenities, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The collection emphasizes fostering an environment where both guests and team members can thrive, highlighting the importance of empowerment, creativity, and collaboration within their workforce. As members of the broader Hyatt network, these resorts benefit from strong industry standards while maintaining a distinctive charm and guest-focused approach that sets them apart in the competitive luxury hospitality market.

This is not your typical career opportunity at Mission Pacific Beach & The Seabird Resorts. The Seasonal Event Specialist role is a vital position created to offer enthusiastic and motivated individuals the chance to exhibit their skills in event support and management. This is a seasonal engagement, designed to cover a leave of absence from June 15th, 2026 through October 15th, 2026, with an hourly wage of $23.00, making it an attractive option for those seeking temporary but meaningful employment in the hospitality event planning sector.

The primary focus of the Seasonal Event Specialist is to assist the Event team with administrative and operational support, ensuring that all event details flow smoothly from inception to completion. This includes managing room-only group bookings, liaising directly with clients to confirm booking details and special requests, and supporting the coordination of small group events with fewer than 20 participants. The candidate will collaborate closely with Event Managers, providing backup support and stepping up to accept additional responsibilities as needed. Ideal candidates should have a passion for delivering best-in-class experiences and demonstrate exceptional customer service and problem-solving skills.

Expertise in multitasking, proficiency in new computer programs, and the ability to complete projects timely are essential attributes for this role. The Seasonal Event Specialist is expected to ensure accurate and timely booking information entry, maintain detailed records of leads, and coordinate with other departments to facilitate seamless operations. Through personalized service and meticulous attention to detail, the Specialist contributes directly to client satisfaction and the overall success of the resort’s event portfolio.

Joining Mission Pacific Beach & The Seabird Resorts means becoming part of a dynamic, supportive team that celebrates diversity and fosters professional growth while offering an engaging, energetic workplace. For individuals who embody the luxury lifestyle and possess strong organizational and communication skills, this seasonal opportunity offers a platform to enhance their career in hospitality and event management within a luxury resort setting.
