  • Customize property settings within the pricing software based on area, audience, and specific property details.
  • Continuously analyze pricing performance over time to ensure the algorithm makes strategic sense and adjust settings as needed.
  • Work directly within platforms like Airbnb to implement strategic discounts and promotions.

• Market Research & Competitive Analysis:

  • Create and maintain custom market competition sets, analyzing data from these dashboards to identify trends.
  • Monitor broader US vacation market trends and incorporate these insights into strategic discount recommendations.

• Performance Tracking & Reporting:

  • Develop and maintain performance tracking systems (e.g., Google Sheets) to monitor properties' weekly or monthly progress.
  • Generate initial performance reports for new clients and standardize quarterly performance reports, ensuring clarity and consistency.
  • Explore and utilize AI tools to enhance data analysis, reporting, and process efficiency where applicable.

• Operational Support:

  • Support the founder with various data-related administrative tasks, including tracking information on Excel sheets.

What You Bring:

• Data-Driven & Analytical Mindset: You are highly data-oriented, detail-oriented, and possess strong analytical skills with a passion for uncovering insights.
• Strategic Thinking: You are a forward-thinking individual who can translate data into actionable pricing strategies.
• Execution Focus: You are comfortable with intensive processes, digging between multiple software platforms, and meticulous data tracking.

Ideal Candidate:

• Hands-on experience in short-term rental pricing tools (PriceLabs, Beyond Pricing, Wheelhouse, etc.) or similar revenue management platforms is a BIG BONUS, and not a deal-breaker.
• Proven ability to explain pricing strategy in simple, client-friendly language (answering questions like “why are my rates low for September?”).
• Strong technical and scrappy mindset: building their own automations, scraping data, or creating dashboards to go beyond what the software provides.
• Open to candidates with transferable skills, preferably from industries with fast-changing, perishable pricing models such as airlines, concerts/events ticketing, or other similar industries.
• Strong background in pricing and revenue analysis, with the ability to adapt a dynamic pricing mindset to the short-term rental (STR) space.
• Experience beyond traditional pricing, including developing proprietary tools, automations, and data solutions (Python, SQL, etc.).
• Ability to create dashboards, custom reporting, and case studies that translate data into clear, compelling insights.
• Skilled at dissecting and organizing data to support strategic decisions and performance optimization.
• Cultural fit is essential: We are seeking a proactive, self-starting professional who takes initiative and drives improvements without waiting for direction.

Work Environment:

• This is a full-time, remote, offshore position.
• You will be working closely with the founder, contributing directly to the company's core operations.
