Candidates are generally expected to have experience in hotel, tourism or consumer marketing, strong project-management and communication skills, and familiarity with digital marketing, social media, content creation and campaign performance analysis.

Flexibility, attention to detail and the ability to represent Meliá brands professionally are also expected.
Can I work in the Canary Islands?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Local-first test (hotel jobs are not on the shortage list), or a seasonal permit that comes with employer housing.
Official source: Spanish Ministry of Inclusion: residence and work permit for employees. Checked November 2026.
