JOB OVERVIEW

About Nomad Equity
Nomad Equity manages a 45+ property short-term rental portfolio across five US states. We're tech-forward, automated, and growing. Right now under 5% of our bookings are direct — the rest come through Airbnb and Vrbo. We want to change that.

The role
Part-time contract, focused 100% on growth. Our CSR team handles all guest inquiries and day-to-day operations — you don't touch that side. Your one job: grow direct bookings as a percentage of revenue while spending as little as possible. We prefer cheap, durable channels — email, repeat guests, referrals, partnerships, SEO — over paid ads, but if paid makes sense somewhere, you d ---------- .

You'll inherit a working booking website, a past-guest CRM, and a finished brand. You're not building infrastructure — you're making it produce bookings.

What you'll do
- Email campaigns to past guests (win-backs, off-season offers, new-property launches)
- Repeat-guest / loyalty / referral programs
- Local SEO and partnerships for each of our five markets
- Booking site conversion optimization
- Paid acquisition (Google, Meta) where unit economics work
- Weekly reporting on bookings, CAC, and channel mix

Must-haves
- 2+ years scaling direct bookings in hospitality, travel, or vacation rentals
- Hands-on email marketing experience (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, or equivalent)
- Familiarity with Hostaway, PriceLabs, Boostly/Lodgify/Hostfully, OTA extranets
- Self-directed — we read your weekly numbers, not your hourly logs

Nice to have
- SEO, paid ads with positive ROAS in vacation rentals
- Partnership experience (relocation, corporate travel, insurance housing)
- Multi-market portfolio experience

Compensation
- $10-$15/hr USD for contract hours, based on skill and experience. Paid bi-weekly.

Logistics
- Independent contractor, month-to-month, 30 days notice either side
- 15-25 hrs/week (heavier in first 2-3 months while building foundations)
- Reports directly to ownership

To apply
Visit ---------- , select "Direct Bookings Growth Lead," and complete a short AI screening interview (about 20-30 min).

You'll be asked about:
1. The STR/vacation rental company where you scaled direct bookings (and portfolio size)
2. Before/after numbers — % direct, incremental revenue, timeframe
3. Your highest-ROI tactic
4. A direct-booking program at another company you admire
5. What you'd diagnose first at a portfolio sitting at under 5% direct
6. Whether you currently work with other STR clients, and capacity / conflict considerations

Strong candidates hear back within a week.
