Company Overview

It is a growing rental company managing a portfolio of properties across multiple cities in the United States. They run a lean, well-organized operations team built on clear SOPs and escalation procedures, and they pair fast, reliable back-end execution with genuine care for every guest who stays in their properties.

Mission

To give every guest an exceptional stay while keeping operations organized, reliable, and highly responsive behind the scenes, and to treat guests, property partners, and teammates with integrity, kindness, and accountability.

Responsibilities

  • Guest communication: Respond promptly, warmly, and professionally to guest questions and concerns throughout the shift, covering check-in, parking, Wi-Fi, property information, maintenance issues, and special requests.
  • Cleaner coordination: Confirm cleans, follow up on outstanding items, relay early check-ins and special requests, report property issues, and make sure every property is guest-ready on time.
  • Task management: Create, update, complete, and follow up on operational tasks so that nothing is forgotten and open items keep moving toward resolution.
  • Maintenance coordination: Log incoming maintenance requests from guests, cleaners, and the operations team; loop in the right people; follow up on repairs; keep guests informed; and escalate according to established procedures.
  • Airbnb claims and damage documentation: Gather information, organize photos and supporting documentation, coordinate with cleaners and team members, submit claims, and follow up until they are closed.
  • Reservation and property operations: Handle day-to-day reservation needs, access issues, check-in concerns, and property-specific procedures.
  • Proactive follow-ups: Chase unresolved guest issues, cleaner requests, maintenance items, and claims instead of waiting for someone else to notice them.
  • Shift handover: Keep accurate notes and document anything unresolved at the end of the shift so the next team member knows exactly where things stand.

This is not a leadership or management position. The role works within established systems and SOPs, with management support available for escalations.
