Location: Mare Island Brewing Co. – Coal Shed Brewery (Vallejo, CA)
Pay: $20–28/hr, Full-time
Mare Island Brewing Co. is looking for a Creative Marketing Coordinator to join our growing team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants hands-on experience across many areas of marketing — from social media and design to events, merchandise, and our Yardbird Beer Club.
We’re a brewery built on the rich 143-year history of the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Every pint we pour has a story behind it — and we want you to help us tell those stories in creative and engaging ways.
This position is based at our Coal Shed Brewery, located on the Mare Island waterfront in Vallejo, CA, with occasional travel between our taprooms on the Vallejo waterfront and in downtown Benicia.
What You’ll Do
- Plan, create, and publish content for our social media channels that connects people with our beer, our story, and our taprooms.
- Assist with the design and production of creative assets and on-brand marketing materials.
- Engage with our online community and Yardbird Beer Club members — answering questions and building connections.
- Support events and beer releases with on-site coverage, photography, and promotions.
- Help manage our merchandise program — from the online store to our taprooms.
- Coordinate logistics to support ongoing marketing activities — including beer festivals, donations, and beer club releases.
- Pitch in wherever needed to keep our brand looking sharp and consistent.
What We’re Looking For
- Associate or bachelor’s degree in graphic design, marketing, or equivalent work experience.
- Demonstrated knowledge of design tools (Adobe Creative Suite or similar), strong photography skills, and a keen eye for visuals.
- Strong writing skills with a knack for storytelling.
- Comfortable with social media (Instagram and Facebook) and eager to learn more.
- Organized, reliable, and able to juggle multiple projects.
- A team player who’s excited to wear many hats.
- Passion for craft beer and curiosity about our history.
Why You’ll Love It Here
- You’ll get to flex your creativity across design, social media, email marketing, events, and more.
- You’ll be part of a close-knit team at an established, independent craft brewery.
- You’ll gain hands-on experience across multiple areas of marketing — not stuck in one lane.
- You’ll have the chance to grow with us as we continue to expand.
- And of course… there’s beer.
Benefits
- Paid vacation and holidays
- Employer-shared health, dental, and vision coverage
- 401(k) plan with company match
- Employee discounts on beer, food, and merchandise
- Monthly “beer benefits”

What We Do
Damn The Torpedoes A general's prized mare and a shipwreck. A naval shipyard founded in 1854. Forty thousand welders, torpedo makers, radiomen and Rosie the Riveters securing our freedom through a Civil, a Cold, and two World Wars. Two winemakers now toiling to handcraft beer worthy of this historic island. Come visit our taps at the northern waterfront of the San Francisco Bay.
