We deliver exceptional guest experiences while producing strong results for our clients, and we hold ourselves to a high standard in everything we do. We’re growing our team and looking for people who fit our culture: hard workers who take ownership, stay focused, and bring a positive, no-excuses attitude to everything they do.

Position Summary

Styer Hospitality Co. is seeking an experienced Operations Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of our growing short- and mid-term rental portfolio in Columbus, Ohio.

The Operations Manager will supervise our internal operations team, including cleaners, maintenance technicians, hospitality inspectors, and guest service agents. This position will also coordinate with third-party vendors, managing scheduling, payments, and the quality of completed work.

This is a multifaceted leadership role for someone who takes initiative, acts with a sense of urgency, and remains focused on achieving results while managing multiple priorities. The ideal candidate is a confident and decisive problem-solver who can adapt to changing conditions, identify practical solutions, and follow through without needing to be told twice. They should also be an engaging and motivating leader who communicates clearly, gains buy-in from others, and holds themselves and their team accountable to high standards.

• Ensure tasks are properly assigned, documented, and completed on time across all departments
• Communicate property issues, recommendations, and approval requests to owners
• Coordinate third-party vendors, including scheduling, communication, work approvals, documentation, and payments
• Oversee supply ordering, inventory organization, and materials transferred to individual properties
• Lead new property onboarding and setup, including vendor coordination, timelines, listings, startup expenses, and owner invoicing
• Monitor guest communication, reviews, and feedback to improve service consistency and quality
• Prepare monthly reports tracking billable staff time, property purchases, and transferred supplies
• Identify operational inefficiencies and help develop scalable systems that support company growth
• Execute strategic initiatives and elevate significant operational concerns to leadership when appropriate

Preferred Qualifications

These are nice to have but not a requirement.

• 1+ year of furnished rental experience
• 1+ year of experience using Hostaway, Breezeway, and online travel agencies (OTAs)
