Short-Term Rental Field Operations Associate (Part-Time)

Guest Haus Property Management is a fast-growing short-term rental management company based in Austin, TX. We manage a growing portfolio of high-quality homes across the city and are looking for our first on-the-ground team member to help support daily operations.

This is a part-time, on-site role (20–28 hours/week) for someone local to Austin who enjoys being hands-on, detail-oriented, and reliable — and who’s interested in growing with a company that’s scaling quickly.

Role Description

You’ll play a key role in making sure our properties are guest-ready and operating smoothly. Your work directly impacts guest experience, reviews, and owner satisfaction.

This role is field-based and includes:

• Property inspections (often prior to guest check-in)
• Restocking supplies
• Occasional one-off visits to properties as needed

You’ll work closely with the owners of Guest Haus and gain exposure to all aspects of short-term rental operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct pre-arrival property inspections to ensure homes meet Guest Haus standards
• Restock consumables and supplies (toiletries, paper goods, small household items, etc.)
• Identify and report issues (maintenance, cleanliness, missing items, damages)
• Coordinate with our internal team and contractors when issues arise
• Make occasional one-off trips to properties for urgent or time-sensitive needs
• Document inspections clearly (photos, notes, checklists)

Requirements

• Must have a reliable car and be comfortable driving between properties
• Strong attention to detail and accountability
• Comfortable working independently and managing time effectively

Nice-to-Have

• Experience in short-term rentals, property management, or hospitality
• Background in cleaning, inspections, or turnovers
• Familiarity with Airbnb / vacation rental standards and expectations

(If you don’t have STR experience but are sharp, reliable, and motivated — still apply.)

Growth Opportunity

This is our first hire, and we’re growing fast.

The right person will have the opportunity to:

• Take on additional responsibilities
• Grow into a larger operations role
• Help shape systems and processes as the company scales

If you’re ambitious, dependable, and interested in learning the business from the inside, this role has real upside.
