Position Overview

Reporting to the Head of Sales, the Market Manager will be responsible for owning and scaling Besty’s presence in a defined region end-to-end. This role is accountable for driving net-new revenue, developing deep local market expertise, and serving as the face of Besty to short-term rental (STR) and hospitality operators in the territory.

Deliver tailored product demos (in-person and over video) aligned to the specific needs of different customer segments, portfolio sizes, and operational models.
• Market Intelligence & Strategy Input: Surface actionable insights, patterns, and competitive signals unique to your region. Provide direct feedback that informs Besty’s product roadmap, pricing strategy, positioning, and broader go-to-market execution.
• Customer Partnership & Expansion: Act as a trusted advisor to customers post-close, ensuring strong initial adoption and long-term relationship development. Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts as operators scale.
• Brand & Community Representation: Represent Besty at regional and national industry conferences, trade shows, meetups, and operator events. Serve as the go-to partner for STR and hospitality operators in your territory and strengthen Besty’s brand presence in the market.
