JOB OVERVIEW

* Preparing and submitting requests for Airbnb review removals when reviews violate Airbnb policies
* Following up on maintenance, guest, and operational issues until fully resolved
* Keeping tasks organized and updated in Asana
* Communicating proactively with tea ---------- mbers through Slack
* Identifying potential issues before they become problems
* Maintaining clear documentation of actions taken, outstanding issues, and next steps
* Independently managing issues from start to finish without constant supervision

You must have:

* Significant Airbnb rental operations experience
* Extensive Hostaway experience
* Experience handling Airbnb Resolution Center cases
* Experience escalating cases with Airbnb Support and following them through to resolution
* Experience managing Airbnb damage claims
* Experience coordinating cleaners and maintenance vendors
* Excellent written English
* Strong organizational skills
* Experience using task management software such as Asana
* Excellent communication skills
* A habit of proactively updating tea ---------- mbers and documenting work

Strong Preference

We would especially like to hear from candidates who have:

* Worked for Airbnb in Tier 2 Support, Senior Support, Trust & Safety, Escalations, Claims, Case Management, Community Support, or a similar role
* Worked for a vacation rental management company
* Managed multiple Airbnb properties simultaneously
