About arenaflex – Pioneering the Future of Short‑Term Rentals

arenaflex is a fast‑growing leader in the short‑term rental industry, delivering unforgettable stays across vibrant neighborhoods and iconic destinations. Our portfolio blends boutique apartments, stylish lofts, and cozy homes, each curated to provide guests with a seamless blend of comfort, local flavor, and premium service. As we expand our footprint, we are looking for a dynamic, tech‑savvy professional to join our remote team and become the trusted voice that connects guests, hosts, and service partners.

Why This Role Matters

In the world of hospitality, the guest experience begins the moment a reservation is made and continues long after checkout.

• Data & Reporting: Track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as response time, resolution rate, and guest satisfaction scores; generate weekly reports for senior management.
• Continuous Improvement: Propose process enhancements, automation opportunities, and technology integrations that streamline operations and elevate the guest experience.

Success Metrics

• Maintain an average response time of under 30 minutes for all guest inquiries.

• Demonstrated ability to work during normal U.S. business hours (Eastern to Pacific time zones).
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English, with a keen eye for detail.
• Strong typing proficiency—minimum 70 wpm with high accuracy.
• Tech‑savvy mindset: comfortable navigating multiple software tools, property‑management systems, and communication platforms.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• Direct experience providing customer support on Airbnb or similar short‑term rental platforms.
• Familiarity with property‑management software such as Guesty, Hostfully, or Lodgify.
• Proven track record of conflict resolution and creative problem‑solving in fast‑paced environments.
• Ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies, APIs, and workflow automation tools.
• Experience coordinating with independent cleaning contractors or housekeeping teams.

Core Skills & Competencies
