Proactive Airbnb
I'm looking for an experienced, proactive short-term rental specialist to manage and continually optimise one property listed across Airbnb, and Vrbo, using Lodgify as the channel manager.
This is an ongoing, retainer-based role (minimum 2 hours per week) focused on maximising revenue, visibility, and performance, while also ensuring day-to-day operations run smoothly.
I'm specifically looking for someone who actively looks for ways to improve things, treats the property like a business, and doesn't wait to be told what to do.
There is also scope for bolt-on work and VA / PA support as needed.
