Share an Iconic Maine Destination. Create Unforgettable Gatherings.

Ocean Point Inn is a historic boutique oceanside inn with a rich history and a special place in Maine’s coastal community. As the property enters its next chapter under new ownership, we’re looking for a vibrant, energetic Sales & Events Coordinator to help grow its weddings and events business.

This is an opportunity to join a property at the beginning of an exciting new chapter, helping build its sales culture, strengthen its reputation, and establish its place in the Midcoast Maine events community.

From developing local partnerships and generating new business to bringing weddings, celebrations, and gatherings to life, you’ll help introduce more people to this iconic coastal destination while growing its sales and events business from the ground up.
