Job opportunities at Ibiza Spotlight 2016
Ibiza Spotlight has now been the leading portal for all things Ibiza since we went online back in 1999, and for many years before that as one of the first printed guides with maps produced for the island.
Today, we have a team of over 20 people working each year to provide the best local knowledge to ensure the past, present and future visitor to Ibiza squeezes every last drop out of their stay with us.
Our team is growing as our company grows, and we are now looking for several new members to join our current editorial staff.
Ibiza Spotlight could be your first or next step to forming an important part of the dance music industry and Ibiza community as a whole. Read on if you think this could be you.
