Customer Success - Technical Onboarding Specialist
Hostfully, Inc.
We are looking for a self-driven passionate Onboarding Specialist to join our growing team.
You would be the first person that new customers meet with after signing up and you help them get started using Hostfully products: the Property Management Platform and Digital Guidebooks. This is a customer-facing position that requires both great communication and technical skills.
We're looking for someone with great people skills, an aptitude for understanding our powerful technology platform, and a passion for helping property managers do their job better and more easily.
Hostfully is an award winning platform and company. The company won the prestigious VRMB award for Best All Around Property Management Software for short term and vacation rentals, we've won the industry's award for Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and we also won the 2022 Shortyz Award for Best Property Management System. Hostfully’s Guidebooks are also known as the industry’s best-in-class solution for the guest experience. We are disrupting the vacation rental industry with new technology that transforms the lives of our customers.
Our customers are short term rental and vacation rental managers who manage between 5-2,000 properties. They rely on Hostfully’s platform to run their business, including:
- Instant distribution across leading bookings platforms Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Google
- Streamline and automate operations

We are looking for people who love the grind of customer onboarding. There's a bonus if you have managed your own short term rental or Airbnb, because then you'll be able to relate even more easily to our customers.
