JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a highly experienced STR Operations & Property Issues Manager to join our property management team.

This is not a general VA position. We need someone with at least 3 years’ experience in the short-term rental industry, with strong experience managing guest, maintenance and property issues from start to finish.

Experience working with properties or clients in the UK or Ireland would be a major advantage.

Your Responsibilities

You will take full ownership of property issues from the moment they are reported until they are completely resolved.

This includes:
• Troubleshooting guest and property issues
• Diagnosing maintenance problems remotely
• Managing heating and hot water issues
• Handling plumbing, electrical, appliance and WiFi problems
• Coordinating cleaners, maintenance teams and tradespeople
• Arranging emergency call-outs when necessary
• Keeping guests updated throughout
• Following up until repairs are completed
• Recording and managing issues through Guesty
• Escalating serious issues when required

What We’re Looking For

You must have:
• Minimum 3 years’ short-term rental experience
• Strong issue management and problem-solving experience
• Good knowledge of general property maintenance and DIY
• Experience troubleshooting property problems remotely
• Experience managing contractors and tradespeople
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Ability to remain calm under pressure
• Strong organisation and follow-up skills
• Ability to work independently and take ownership

Guesty experience is strongly preferred.

Knowledge of UK and Irish properties, including boilers, oil heating, immersion heaters, thermostats, fuse boards and common household appliances, would be a significant advantage.

How to Apply

Please send your CV and a short introductory video that covers the following points:
1. How many years have you worked in short-term rentals?
2. Have you managed maintenance and guest issues from start to finish?
3. Have you worked with UK or Irish properties?
4. What experience do you have with Guesty?
5. Give an example of an issue you have fully resolved end to end and what steps you took from start to finish

We are looking for an experienced problem solver who takes ownership of issues rather than simply passing them to someone else.
