While your core responsibilities are outlined below, we’re looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and is willing to wear many hats.

• Foster a high-performing, service-oriented culture focused on excellence and accountability.

Guest Communication & Case Management

• Serve as a point of contact for guest enquiries, ensuring timely, courteous, and effective responses.
• Handle escalated guest or client issues professionally and proactively.

Client Relationship Management

• Maintain strong relationships with property owners through regular communication and issue resolution.
• Ensure owners are informed, supported, and confident in our management services.
• Manage relationships with external partners including cleaners, maintenance providers, and linen suppliers.
• Ensure high quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in service delivery.

Quality Assurance

• Implement and monitor quality control measures across the portfolio.
• Conduct regular property checks to ensure guest readiness and standards compliance.

Performance Monitoring & Reporting

• Track key operational metrics and prepare performance reports.
• Use data to inform decisions and improvements.

Compliance & Safety

• Ensure all properties meet legal safety standards and adhere to local regulations.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience within the short-term rental or hotel industry.
• Strong leadership skills with a proactive and solutions-focused mindset.
• Tech-savvy with experience implementing and managing operational software.
• Excellent communication and relationship management skills.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Willingness to work 2 Saturdays per month.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary (£32,000 - £38,000 base + bonus and commission)
• Opportunity to shape and grow within a high-potential, luxury-focused startup.
• Hands-on role with autonomy and influence from day one – we do not micromanage!
