About the Role

Visit St. Pete-Clearwater is looking for someone with impeccable taste, undeniable energy, and a sixth sense for a good time to join the SPC-Suite as our Chief Vibes Officer (CVO). Your job is simple: discover the vibe. From the places everyone’s talking about to the ones they should be, you’ll experience St. Pete-Clearwater’s BEACH.CULTURE. firsthand and help us bottle up a little of that magic. Music, nightlife, neighborhood energy, spontaneous detours, golden-hour moments and whatever else passes the vibe check are all firmly within your jurisdiction. The ideal candidate is a professional good-time-haver with a playlist for every mood, very little interest in sitting behind a desk, and an uncanny ability to know where to be before everyone else gets there.

• Take your newfound St. Pete-Clearwater expertise on the road for a special BEACH.CULTURE. collaboration in a key U.S. market to be determined.

• Perform other vibe-related duties as assigned. Obviously.

Vibe Skills Required

• A creative with real-world influence and a point of view people pay attention to. DJ, musician, comedian, creator, or otherwise, you know how to bring people in.

• Willingness to not get enamored only by the award-winning beaches, but to explore the pulse of the entire destination and dive into the locals-only locations for a personal vibe check.

• An ability to read a room, a crowd and, ideally, a dance floor.

• Strong communication skills and even stronger aux-cord privileges.

• An engaging personality and comfort being both behind and in front of the camera.

• Proficiency in capturing and creating social content across channels, with a pulse on the latest formats, trends and what’s worth sharing next.

• A willingness to temporarily call St. Pete-Clearwater home for a 10-day in-destination assignment between November 6 and November 22, 2026.
