• Prospect and research potential clients (homeowners, real estate agents, investors, builders) in Orlando’s vacation home market
• Build strong, trust‑based relationships through in‑person visits, networking events, and virtual outreach
• Serve as the company’s on‑the‑ground ambassador — conducting property visits, owner consultations, and training sessions for real estate brokers and partners
• Leverage social media to promote properties, share success stories, engage with the vacation rental community, and generate warm leads
• Collaborate with marketing and leadership to create compelling proposals, marketing materials, and digital campaigns that win contracts
• Negotiate favorable management agreements and clearly communicate terms to all stakeholders
• Stay ahead of industry trends (short‑term rental regulations, market insights, social media strategies) and become a go‑to expert on our services and operations

• Proven success in B2B sales, ideally in vacation rentals, property management, real estate services, or related hospitality/investment fields
• Comfortable and confident using social media for professional promotion, content sharing, lead generation, and community engagement (Instagram, Facebook, Linked In experience a big plus)
• Strong verbal and written communication skills — you shine in one‑on‑one conversations, group presentations, and crafting persuasive messages
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Basic knowledge of the vacation rental or real estate industry (quick learner who can become a subject matter expert)
• Creative problem‑solver with innovative ideas to meet client needs and close deals
• Bi‑ or multi‑lingual skills are a plus
