Short-Term Vacation Rental Listing Manager - Contract to Hire
Home Base Property Management
Short-Term Vacation Rental Listings Manager
Location: United States
Location Type: Fully remote
Compensation: Competitive Base Salary with Strong Bonus Tied to Performance
Home Base is a fast-growing, employee-owned hospitality company built upon Midwestern values and built to last. We manage high-end short-term vacation rentals across the Midwest and Southeast with the belief that managing an owner’s home is a privilege and great service should feel personal.
Our short-term rental industry has grown fast—but too often it’s been shaped by shortcuts, inconsistent standards, limited transparency, and anonymous experiences. We take a different approach: accountable operations, high-touch care, and a talented team that takes pride in doing the right thing.
We’re not looking to be the most “disruptive” name in the industry. We’re striving to be the most trusted. From homeowners who want transparency, protection and results, to guests who deserve comfort, surprise and warmth, we deliver delightful experiences that show we truly care.
We’re on the path to becoming guests’ and homeowners’ favorite short-term vacation rental company. If that mission excites you, we’d love to meet you.
Who You Are:
Highly detail-oriented and checklist-driven (some may think you’re a perfectionist)
Experienced and comfortable working across booking platforms (e.g. Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc)
Great taste for what makes a short-term rental listing attractive and appealing to guests
Strong and clear written communication skills
Collaborative team-player willing to roll up their sleeves with a bias towards action
What You’ll Do:
You’ll be responsible for ensuring Home Base properties are optimally positioned to attract guests and convert bookings. You’ll follow a detailed checklist to build accurate and optimized listings across multiple channels — and then continuously maintain and improve them over time. This role will report into the Head of Homeowner Success and work closely with Revenue Management and Operations to ensure we are best positioning our properties and serving our homeowners well.
Listing Creation & Onboarding
Meticulously build listings using our proprietary step-by-step onboarding checklist
Thoughtfully review home photos, layout, and surrounding area to craft descriptions and messaging that highlight standout features of the home
Ensure accuracy of amenities, settings, and channel requirements
Publish listings and confirm they are bookable and correctly synced
Run test bookings at newly launched listings and provide reviews
Ongoing Listing Optimization
Continuously refine copy, titling and photography to enhance performance
Seasonally update positioning to attract different guest profiles throughout the year
Re-list properties
Own the photography and videography process of our listings
Establish repeatable audit processes
Listing Distribution
Ensure all properties are bookable across all channels at all times
Manage mid-term stay distribution channels such as Furnished Finder and form local partnerships to drive revenue during the off- and shoulder-seasons
Offboard properties thoroughly and completely from all distribution channels when necessary
Qualifications & Fit:
2-4+ years of relevant experience: Proven track record in short-term rental listings management and optimization
Comprehensive knowledge: Strong understanding of the short-term rental industry, guest preferences, booking channels and settings
Exceptional attention to detail: Thorough completion of tasks with excellent structure and processes
Robust task management skills: Ability to balance multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing quality
Outstanding communication: Strong written and interpersonal skills with the ability to work cross-functionally across departments
What We Offer:
Competitive compensation and career trajectory at a long-term, growth-oriented company
Flexible PTO and family leave policies
Home office & equipment stipend
Home Base provides equal employment opportunities (EEO) to all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or family status, as protected by applicable law.
