  • Coordinate with cleaners, maintenance, and vendors to resolve concerns quickly
  • Manage reservations and automate messaging across our property management platforms
  • Process guest charges, refunds, and folio adjustments as needed
  • Assist in compiling incident reports and documentation for insurance claims
  • Keep detailed records of all communications and issue resolutions
  • Flag high-risk reviews and help us improve continuously
  • Attend regular team meetings

  • 3+ years in a Short-Term Rental management company virtual assistant role
  • Familiar with platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, , and property management software (Guesty preferred)
  • Proficient in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar) and team tools like Loom, Slack, Notion, and Google Meet
  • Exceptional written and verbal English — friendly, clear, and professional
  • Proven track record of delivering excellent guest experiences and resolving problems under pressure
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple tasks at once
  • Self-motivated with strong time management skills
  • Fast, reliable internet (50+ Mbps) and a quiet, professional home workspace
  • Willing to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed

Bonus Points

  • Previous experience working with U.S.-based clients or companies
  • Management experience or worked in a Leadership role
  • Familiar with PMS automation logic and creating automations
  • Competency in OTA Listing Optimization
