Date Posted June 9, 2024

COMPANY DESCRIPTION
My company, Blue Door Retreats, is looking for a Virtual Assistant who is excited to join a rapidly scaling vacation rental management company that covers properties all around the state of Texas in the United States. We provide guests with memorable experiences in our premium properties. As you review the role description, we welcome any questions you may have about the position or the team. The position is full time with plenty of projects to complete. We are looking for someone who wants to be a part of a growing company and understands the hospitality industry.

IMPORTANT
MUST HAVE: We are all learning and figuring things out, so strong English communication is one of the only requirements for this position. We will train you on everything else.

MUST HAVE: Reliable access to reliable and consistent internet and work setup.

The other main requirement is that you have had some sort of work experience either with or for another vacation property management company, Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, or any other vacation rental platforms. If you do not have any work experience with any of the above, please do not apply.

JOB OVERVIEW
Your role will be to help us work the operations side of our business. This includes but is not limited to researching, adjusting and maintaining rental pricing and discounts, creating online listings, editing descriptions, some social media content creation, guide book creation and updates, income and expense tracking of all properties, finding and locating future properties and clients. Don’t worry, we don’t expect much knowledge or previous specific experience in each of these, just a willingness to learn and communicate when you don’t understand something. We will give you a clear set of instructions and tools so that you can be successful in your role.

This role includes the following tools that will help you be successful so previous knowledge or experience with them is a plus:
Airbnb, Vrbo, or any other booking platform (You MUST have experience in working with or for one of these companies to apply for this position)
– Google Sheets
– Google Maps
– PriceLabs
– Canva
– Social Media Content Creation
– ChatGPT

We do expect you to work during our time zone (USA – CST), however, this is potentially negotiable depending on candidate.

QUALITIES NEEDED FOR SUCCESS
INTEGRITY – You are a good fit if you can be honest with your fellow team members. Open communication and honesty are paramount to myself and the team. If you aren’t able to hit a deadline or make a mistake, be upfront about it, we are all human after all.

COMMITMENT – We are looking for someone who is looking for a long-term relationship with the expectations of potential growth in the company. We are currently a small team so there are potential opportunities for other roles in the future as we grow. If you are just looking for a few months of work, this is not for you.

DESIRE TO LEARN – We are a small team and want people who are open to learning new skills and taking on projects. If you are not comfortable learning something new or asking for help then this is not the job for you.

If this sounds like you, please apply below and I will personally review your application. In the subject line of your application please add the term “STR VA7661” so that I know that you actually read the complete job description. Please indicate and highlight the company (any vacation rental company, AirBnb, VRBO, Expedia, Hospitable etc.) that you have previous experience with either working for or with in your application at the top. Thank you for your time!
