About The Company
Our client is a fast-growing short-term rental and property management company overseeing nearly 200 vacation rental properties across multiple US markets. They are passionate about delivering exceptional guest experiences, maximizing returns for property owners, and building operational excellence at scale. As they continue to grow, they're investing in building a high-performing team of professionals who take ownership, solve problems independently, and thrive in a fast-paced, technology-driven environment.

About The Role
As a Guest Services Specialist, you'll own front-line guest communication across a national portfolio of vacation rentals. You'll answer guest messages and calls across booking channels, resolve the everyday issues (door codes, check-in hiccups, questions the listing already answers) quickly and correctly, and escalate anything that needs maintenance or readiness attention, so guests get a five-star response and the team isn't drowning in overnight tickets.
You will work closely with the Guest Services Director to ensure smooth day-to-day operations across guest communication, shift coverage, and issue resolution.
This role supports a high-volume, 24/7 operational environment where responsiveness, independent judgment, and strong coordination across distributed teams are essential.
Responsibilities
- Manage guest communications across Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, phone, and text channels, meeting agreed response-time SLAs.
- Oversee daily guest services operations during assigned shifts and coordinate coverage with U.S.-based and virtual assistants across weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
- Resolve guest inquiries and common issues in real time using sound judgment, urgency, and property-specific information.
- Escalate complex guest, maintenance, or property-readiness issues to the appropriate stakeholders while maintaining ownership of frontline resolution.
- Monitor operational dashboards, guest requests, tasks, and messages to ensure properties are guest-ready and all issues are completed on time.
- Maintain accurate records of guest interactions, issues, and resolutions within company systems (e.g., PMS, Breezeway) to ensure operational visibility and accountability.
- Support adherence to standard operating procedures (SOPs) and operational workflows across the guest services function.
- Proactively identify and flag at-risk stays to prevent service failures and negative guest experiences.
- Partner with the Guest Services Director to improve team autonomy, streamline operations, and reduce process bottlenecks.
