Listen Later

Miami’s job market is buzzing this week with a burst of fresh postings spanning tech, hospitality, healthcare, and retail as employers race to staff up for the winter high season. Several major companies and Miami startups are seeking talent in roles listeners can apply to right now.

Indeed’s Miami listings have surged in the past 7 days, led by demand for customer service representatives, retail associates, and delivery drivers. Notably, Amazon and Walmart are advertising for seasonal associates to meet holiday demand. For those aiming for office environments, Miami-based tech firm Kaseya and other local software companies are actively hunting for IT support specialists and sales development representatives, many of whom can start immediately.

Listeners interested in hospitality will find dozens of new openings posted this week at downtown hotels. The Kimpton EPIC Hotel and Marriott Biscayne Bay are urgently interviewing for guest service agents, housekeeping, and food and beverage staff, reflecting Miami’s rapidly returning tourism. Culinary listeners may want to note that Joe’s Stone Crab, a staple in the South Beach restaurant scene, is filling multiple server and kitchen positions as Thanksgiving crowds approach.

Healthcare is another major area of activity. According to LinkedIn job trends, Baptist Health South Florida and Jackson Health System posted new openings for registered nurses, surgical techs, and medical assistants. There are also several part-time and per diem opportunities for those starting out or returning to the field.

The tech sector is especially lively, with Miami’s startup ecosystem continuing its post-pandemic expansion. Emerge Americas job postings reflect ongoing recruitment for software engineers, UX designers, and digital marketers. Listeners with digital skills should check out Miami tech meetups, as networking events and startup job fairs are returning to in-person formats this month.

Remote and hybrid roles are featured prominently as companies respond to shifting work preferences. Major employers like Ryder and Citrix are advertising flexible openings in project management, digital marketing, and customer experience.

Education is hiring too, as Miami-Dade County Public Schools has initiated a late fall push for substitute teachers, paraprofessionals, and support staff. The University of Miami and Florida International University both posted new administrative and adjunct faculty roles within the past week.

Miami’s proximity to Latin America keeps bilingual jobs in high demand. Many local law firms and export businesses are advertising for Spanish-English administrative assistants, paralegals, and logistics coordinators, a trend supported by recent Miami Herald job board activity.

Several local hiring events are scheduled in the coming days, including a career expo at the Miami Beach Convention Center on Wednesday and employer open houses at Miami International Airport on Thursday. Listeners eager to get in front of recruiters in person should plan to attend early as these events often reach capacity.

With unemployment low and competition for talent fierce, Miami’s job scene in the last 7 days has produced an especially robust set of opportunities, particularly for those ready to jump in as the busy holiday and winter tourism season ramps up. Those seeking to start or pivot their career in Magic City will find a competitive market leaning in their favor this week, with hundreds of new listings welcoming applicants of all backgrounds and levels.
