• Process cancellations, booking amendments, no-shows, and rebooking requests accurately while adhering to company policies.
• Prevent overbookings and efficiently manage room and apartment allocations across the portfolio.
• Handle OTA disputes, guest claims, and chargeback cases professionally and effectively.
• Support pricing optimization and occupancy management using revenue and dynamic pricing tools.
• Ensure smooth guest check-ins, turnovers, and day-to-day operational workflows across all properties.
• Maintain accurate guest records, reports, reservation documentation, and administrative systems.
• Improve and maintain SOPs, operational processes, and automated guest messaging workflows.
• Assist with operational improvements and system optimization initiatives to enhance efficiency and guest experience.

• Proven experience managing both hotels/B&Bs and short-term rental properties.
• Advanced hands-on experience with Guesty and Uplisting.
• Strong understanding of OTAs including Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia Group.
• Experience handling OTA disputes, cancellations, and guest resolution processes.
