Weekend Operations Manager

Summary

About the Role We're looking for a Weekend Operations Manager to take full ownership of our weekend operations and make sure everything runs smoothly — from the first check-in to the last request handled. This is a hands-on, high-energy role for someone who thrives when things get busy and knows how to keep a team calm, focused, and moving forward no matter what the weekend throws at them. Because this role covers 12-hour weekend shifts, it's an excellent fit for someone who already holds a part-time role during the week and is looking to dedicate their weekends to a role where they can fully focus and make a real impact. What You'll Do Oversee all weekend operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish Anticipate issues before they become problems and solve them proactively Keep the team organized, focused, and clear on priorities — even when things get hectic Support and coach team members in the moment, helping them grow and improve rather than simply assigning tasks Stay calm and think clearly under pressure, especially during high-stress or chaotic moments Apply your knowledge of the short-term rental business to make smart, informed decisions on the fly What We're Looking For Proactive problem-solver — you spot issues early and act, rather than waiting to be told A true leader — you lead by developing and supporting your team, not just by handing out tasks Experience in short-term rentals — you understand how the industry works and what guests and hosts expect Strong team player — you know how to work with others and bring out the best in the people around you Great attitude toward adversity — you stay positive and solution-focused when things get tough Comfortable under pressure — you can handle stress, chaos, and fast-moving situations without losing your composure Highly organized — you know how to prioritize and keep control of multiple moving parts at once Available for 12-hour weekend shifts — ideally already working a part-time role during the week, so weekends can be your primary focus Why This Role If you're someone who genuinely enjoys the challenge of a busy, unpredictable environment, who takes pride in keeping a team strong and a business running well, and who wants ownership over a critical part of the operation — this is the role for you.
