Listing Manager
Work for the premier Airbnb property management company! Guesthop is changing how hosts manage their Airbnb properties. We provide personal, on-site, full-service white glove management for their property and its guests, saving hosts time, and earning them the highest occupancy and guest satisfaction ratings. Because of the high level of trust and security required in managing a host’s residence, and the premium customer service Guesthop provides, our staff is thoroughly vetted and background checked. Hoppers and Managers who work for us love the flexibility that the job offers (working remotely) and the potential to earn a significant amount. Listing Manager – San Francisco and Oakland/Berkeley. The key player on the Guesthop team is the Listing Manager, who works directly with our host clients in a given territory. The LM’s objective is to maximize revenues (occupancy, pricing) for the listing, within the parameters of the host’s availability, and ensure successful operations including booking guests, checking them in, and ensuring the property is cleaned and ready for the next guest’s arrival. LM’s are (or become!) experts at using home sharing platforms, ensuring listings are optimized, while also keeping hosts happy and informed. They have an eye for detail – how a property looks, how it is represented online, whether there are adequate supplies, or repairs needed etc – but also have excellent customer service and communications skills. They are comfortable using software systems like property management and scheduling software systems and understand the responsibility (and independence) that comes from having a portfolio of properties they are responsible for. The LM role is initially a 1099 position, offering a great flexibility in hours and remote work, though we seek candidates who can commit a minimum of 30 hours a week. LM’s should also live in or near the assigned territory (San Francisco for the SF position, Oakland/Berkeley area for the Oakland position). They will need to be able to get around town easily (owning a car is necessary). The starting pay is $30 per hour.
