The role

A community of contrasts, fantastic gastronomy, and good vibes, Andalusia is a top-tier destination to work in. Whether because of its Mediterranean coasts or its Atlantic beaches, there is no doubt that this land of sun and olive trees is unique, inimitable, and full of life.

As an animation manager, you will be at the head of a team of animators, so organizational tasks will occupy a good part of your day-to-day. But you will not be alone: you will work side by side with your area coordinator to meet the quality standards of the hotel and of Acttiv.

What you'll do

Your responsibilities will be:
• Implementing the daytime and nighttime activity program
• Organizing the animators' schedules (teams of 1-40 animators)
• Reporting information about animation activities to Acttiv
• Following Acttiv's quality policy
• Staying on top of the needs of your team's animators
• Attending and receiving training provided by the company
• Participating in meetings with other animation managers in your area
• Supervising your team's time tracking
• Training and evaluating your team
• Obtaining positive feedback to improve the establishment's online reputation

Of course, and beyond organization, you will also participate in shows and interact with guests. Not everything was going to be paperwork!

How you'll work

Permanent seasonal contract of 40 hours per week,
Working days distributed from Monday to Sunday according to the roster.
Two days of rest per week, as established by current legislation.
The initial contract will run until March 7, 2027, with the possibility of joining the permanent staff. In addition, at Adecco
