JOB OVERVIEW

About the Company

Luxury Lodging is a fast-growing short-term rental property management company overseeing 300+ homes across the United States. Our team is performance-driven and focused on delivering exceptional guest experiences while maximizing owner satisfaction. We manage day-to-day operations including guest relations, maintenance, pricing, onboarding, and owner success.

This is not a short-term or temporary role. We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career with us. The ideal candidate is dependable, proactive, calm under pressure, and takes ownership of problems until they're fully resolved.

If you're actively job hopping or simply looking for your next temporary position, this role is probably not the right fit. We're investing in someone who wants to grow alongside the company.

About the Role

Position: Guest Experience & Operations Specialist
Location: Remote
Pay: $7.5/hour
Type: Full-Time (Eastern Time) 40hrs/week

Guest reviews are one of the most important drivers of our success. Your primary responsibility will be ensuring every guest has an exceptional stay and helping us maintain portfolio ratings above 4.85 stars.

Unlike a traditional customer support role, you'll proactively reach out to guests throughout their stay, not just respond when they contact us. You'll identify potential issues before they become negative reviews, coordinate resolutions, negotiate appropriate compensation when necessary, and work with internal teams, vendors, and property owners to deliver the best possible outcome.

This role requires someone who can think critically, make sound decisions, and remain composed during challenging situations.

---

What You'll Be Doing:
* Proactively call guests throughout their stay to ensure they're having a 5-star experience
* Identify guest concerns before they become complaints or negative reviews
* Build rapport with guests while creating memorable hospitality experiences
* Resolve guest issues using sound judgment, empathy, and strong communication
* Develop creative recovery strategies to turn unhappy guests into satisfied ones
* Negotiate refunds, credits, discounts, or other service recovery solutions when appropriate
* Balance guest satisfaction, company policies, operational limitations, and business costs
* Coordinate directly with maintenance staff, cleaners, contractors, and vendors to resolve reported issues quickly
* Communicate with property owners to obtain approvals for repairs, refunds, or special accommodations when needed
* Follow every issue through completion while keeping all parties informed
* Monitor ongoing stays and prioritize high-risk reservations that may impact reviews
* Ensure listing information remains accurate and up to date across all platforms
* Document guest interactions, resolutions, and operational notes thoroughly
* Identify recurring operational issues and recommend improvements
* Complete administrative tasks, reporting, and documentation
* Take on additional responsibilities as the company continues to grow

---

What We're Looking For:
* Excellent spoken and written English
* Comfortable speaking on the phone for a significant portion of the workday
* Naturally empathetic and able to build trust quickly
* Strong negotiation and conflict-resolution skills
* Calm under pressure and able to think clearly during difficult situations
* Excellent critical thinking and decision-making abilities
* High level of ownership and accountability
* Exceptional organization and follow-through
* Comfortable juggling multiple active guest cases simultaneously
* Strong multitasking skills without sacrificing attention to detail
* Tech-savvy and comfortable learning multiple software platforms
* Hospitality, Airbnb, hotel, customer success, or guest relations experience is a strong advantage
* Experience coordinating vendors or maintenance is a plus
* Looking for long-term career growth

---

The Ideal Candidate
You're someone who genuinely enjoys helping people while also understanding the business side of hospitality.
You don't simply apologize—you solve problems.
You don't wait for issues to escalate—you prevent them.
You know how to make guests feel heard while still protecting the company's interests.
You can confidently balance empathy with good business judgment and always look for the solution that creates the best long-term outcome.
