Growth Manager

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-energy, "outside-the-box" thinker to serve as the right hand to our client. This is not a traditional administrative role; we are looking for a Growth Partner—a problem-solver and a "hunter" who is passionate about the Short-Term Rental (STR) industry. You will manage a dual mission: operational excellence (Guest/Property Management) and aggressive strategic growth (Marketing/Lead Gen).

Job Highlights

• Paid Hours per Week: 25
• Schedule: Monday - Friday, Flexible between 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM | Central Time
• Work Arrangement: Work from home
• Contract: Independent Contractor

Key Responsibilities

• Growth & Marketing: Execute creative social media strategies (IG, FB, LinkedIn). Manage SEO, run targeted ads, and engage in online forums to build brand authority.
• Business Development: Actively source new property owners to grow our portfolio via cold calling, email outreach, and lead generation.
• Guest Experience & Operations: Manage end-to-end guest communications, high-stakes issue resolution, and repeat-guest retention.
• Logistics & Maintenance: Coordinate vendors/cleaners and utilize Hostaway to manage schedules and inventory.
• Financial Administration: Handle vendor payments, supply procurement, invoice organization, and STR tax filing assistance.

Qualifications

• STR Industry Veteran: At least 2+ years of experience within the Airbnb/STR ecosystem. You understand the "emergency-response" nature of this business.
• The "Hunter" Mentality: Proven experience in sales or business development. You aren't intimidated by cold outreach and you view a "No" as a stepping stone to a "Yes."
• Tech-Fluent: Expert-level proficiency with Hostaway (or similar PMS), guest communication tools, and CRM software.
• Marketing Savvy: You don’t just "post" on social media; you understand funnel conversion, SEO basics, and how to build an online community.
• Problem-Solving Prowess: You are a "fixer" who can handle a maintenance crisis at 2 PM and a strategic marketing pitch at 4 PM without breaking a sweat.
• Financial Literacy: Comfortable managing budgets, processing invoices, and maintaining organized financial records.
