Now Hiring: Marketing Coordinator (Summer Position)

Hudson is a small town with a lot happening beneath the surface.

From independent shops and cafés to cultural events, local traditions, and seasonal experiences, there’s a steady rhythm here — one that visitors don’t always see unless someone helps connect the dots.

That’s where Destination Hudson comes in.

We’re looking for a Marketing Coordinator to join us this summer and help tell the story of Hudson as a place worth discovering — and returning to.

The Marketing Coordinator will support the Hudson Hospitality Association’s Destination Hudson initiative by creating multimedia content and contributing to digital marketing efforts that promote Hudson as a vibrant destination.

This is a hands-on, creative role for someone who enjoys being out in the community, meeting people, and capturing what makes a place feel alive.
