Sales and Marketing Assistant for Short-Term Rental (AirBNB) Business

Our company is a short-term rental management agency operating in the UK, with around 70 properties under management, and we are seeking an experienced sales and marketing professional to join our team and assist with our lead generation and customer enquiries. We are a small but growing company and there is opportunity to get involved in many areas of the business. This role is best suited for someone enthusiastic and motivated to drive their role forward in whichever direction we agree is best, as the business grows. Initially you will be responsible for dealing with any live enquiries from our customers and partners, assisting in identifying suitable accommodation, providing key details and quoting prices. You will also have the opportunity to drive direct active outreach to our previous customers as well as establishing new relationships with partner agencies and potential business clients to drive direct bookings to our portfolio. Once established in the role, you will also have the opportunity to move into a business development position, helping us to bring on new clients (property owners) in addition to new customers (guests). On top of this, production of content such as newsletters, articles etc on weekly/monthly basis may be required, in addition to engagement via our social media accounts. This role is suited for someone who is self-driven and will look for opportunities to drive business to the company, rather than expecting the strategy and workflows to be given to them on a plate. You will be empowered to develop and improve our existing systems, as well as introducing new sales and marketing initiatives which will directly improve your own pay as a result of increased direct booking commissions.
