Grimaldi’s is seeking a creative and passionate Social Media Coordinator to join our Restaurant Support Center in Scottsdale, AZ.

 

We’re looking for someone who understands that social media is more than just content - it’s a powerful tool for storytelling and brand building. You’re a marketer and creator first: someone who loves developing content that moves the needle, connects with people, and makes a brand stand out.

 

You’re energized by trends and are constantly asking, “How can this perform better?” You thrive on collaboration, but you can run with an idea solo from concept to execution. And if you happen to love pizza, even better! Experience working with a restaurant, multi-location business or food brand is a strong plus.
