Worldwide

Summary

Welgo is a growing short-term rental operations company. We run a portfolio of properties and we're looking for an Operations Manager who can own the day-to-day, keep our standards high, and grow with us — not just clock hours. This is a long-term, full-time role. We pay a $2,000/month base plus profit sharing, so as the business wins, you win. We're looking for someone who wants ownership, not a task-taker. What you'll own * Daily operations across our property portfolio — cleanings, turnovers, maintenance, and vendor coordination * Guest experience — messaging, issue resolution, and reviews (keeping us at 5 stars) * Team & vendor management — scheduling cleaners, maintenance, and contractors; holding everyone to our SOPs * Systems & SOPs — improving our processes, documentation, and tools so the machine runs tighter every month * Reporting — tracking occupancy, turnovers, and operational KPIs, and flagging problems before they become fires You're a strong fit if you have * 2+ years in operations, ideally short-term rental / property management / hospitality (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) * A track record of managing people and vendors remotely * Strong written English and calm, clear communication * Comfort with tools like Airbnb/VRBO, PMS platforms (Hostaway, Guesty, etc.), Google Workspace, Slack, and ClickUp/Asana * A self-starter mindset — you spot problems and solve them without being told * Reliable schedule overlap with US time zones Nice to have * Experience scaling an STR portfolio * Basic bookkeeping / financial tracking * Familiarity with US-based markets Compensation * $2,000/month base + profit sharing (details discussed in interview) * Long-term, stable role with real growth and increasing ownership as you prove yourself To apply Don't send a generic proposal. Start your application with the word "WELGO" so we know you read this. Then tell us: 1. Your most relevant STR or property-ops experience 2. The PMS / tools you've used 3. One example of an operational problem you solved that saved time or money We read every application that follows these steps. We're excited to find the right person to grow with us.
