At Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, we don't just create vacations—we craft unforgettable experiences. Home to America's Largest Indoor Waterparks, our African-inspired resorts offer world-class dining, luxurious spas, thrilling entertainment, and cutting-edge convention centers that redefine hospitality.

But we're more than a resort. As a family-owned company, our Promise is simple: Lead with Love. This means caring deeply for our guests, associates, and communities—treating people like family, giving back generously, and creating spaces where everyone feels valued.

Through our partnership with charity: water, we're also committed to bringing clean water to one million people in Africa.

We invite you to apply for our open Talent Acquisition Coordinator role.

This position provides a flexible work environment, with the possibility of remote arrangements and a preference for proximity to either a Kalahari property in Pennsylvania or Wisconsin.

Salary: $55,000-$65,000
