If you thrive in fast‑paced startup environments, can wear many hats, and aren’t afraid to do the groundwork, this role is for you. As the frontline, you’ll identify and connect with potential hosts, gather market insights, and drive new business by developing strategies and executing grassroots outreach.

Duties:

• Proactive Market Engagement: Conduct market visits and on‑the‑ground assessments to evaluate listings, benchmark competitors / accommodations, and provide actionable insights for strategic planning.
• Outbound Sales & Playbook Building: Execute cold outreach to prospective and churned hosts. Develop and iterate on sales strategies, pitches, and scalable playbooks, incorporating real‑time feedback to drive impact.
• Digital & Community Ops: Actively participate in neighborhood‑level social groups, digital forums, and local communities to identify and engage potential hosts and influencers. Foster relationships with industry professionals, organizers, and local leaders to find high‑leverage opportunities.
• Startup Mindset & Bias for Action: Display a strong sense of ownership and problem‑solving ability. Experiment with new strategies and rapidly prototype tactics and operational processes.
• Cross‑functional Collaboration & Leadership: Partner closely with Sales and Marketing teams to test pitches and refine messaging based on real‑time feedback.
