Who we are

AvantStay delivers world class, authentic, tech-enabled short-term rental (“STR”) group experiences targeted at the millennial generation. We are venture funded and growing rapidly in the explosive $100+ billion dollar STR industry. We deliver a customized end-to-end experience that is tailored just for groups and powered with technology at every layer.

What we are looking for

We are seeking a highly proactive, detail-oriented, and solution-driven Market Operations Lead for our 30A market. This role is ideal for a hospitality operations leader who thrives in dynamic environments, takes full ownership of their market, and excels at cross-functional communication. You will be responsible for leading key operational initiatives, managing inspections and permitting, supporting homeowner follow-ups, and helping execute strategic projects that drive excellence in property operations and owner satisfaction.

This role is designed for someone who is a true self-starter—able to identify issues, bring forward solutions, and follow through without daily oversight.

You will be responsible for the following duties and responsibilities, which may not be an exhaustive list:

• Take ownership of key operational workflows, such as permitting, inspections, inventory coordination, and field scheduling, particularly for Bay and Walton counties
• Identify inefficiencies in field operations and bring forward actionable solutions (e.g., consolidating storage units, improving delivery logistics)
• Track and manage follow-up actions resulting from homeowner calls and walkthroughs—ensuring stakeholder alignment with Revenue Management, Owner Experience, and other internal teams
• Summarize homeowner meetings and generate case follow-ups, ensuring timely resolution and clear documentation
• Support high-touch owners by reinforcing strong communication and timely execution of service-related items
• Assist with project management across field and central teams, helping execute new operational programs and homeowner service initiatives
• Build and maintain cross-functional relationships with internal teams and external vendors to support smooth market operations
• Collaborate with market leadership to elevate team standards and ensure compliance with AvantStay brand expectations
• Step in to support and guide field staff where necessary, especially during high-volume or high-priority periods
• Work with field teams on property compliance, inspections, and guest readiness
• Occasionally represent the market team in homeowner conversations when necessary, using sound judgment and professionalism

What you'll bring

• 3–5 years of experience in vacation rental, hospitality, or property management, with exposure to high-end or luxury clientele
• Strong project management experience with ability to prioritize, organize, and execute multiple initiatives simultaneously
• Familiarity with permitting and inspection requirements in Bay and Walton counties preferred
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments
• Proven ability to self-manage, think critically, and follow through without micromanagement
• Experience managing vendor relationships and coordinating operational support for field teams
• Confidence and professionalism in front of homeowners; experience in luxury service environments is a plus
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment where tasks shift quickly and ownership is critical
• Familiarity with tech tools such as Slack, Google Suite, Guesty, Breezeway, and/or other hospitality operations platforms
• Valid driver’s license and reliable, market-ready vehicle
• Ability to work weekends, holidays, and a flexible schedule as needed

• Ability to walk, bend, drive, and lift up to 25 lbs as part of regular property checks and operational execution

• Annual salary range of $65,000-$75,000 + performance bonus (dependent on your skills and experience)
• Generous company-sponsored insurance (medical, dental, vision, life, etc.)
