We're hiring — Freelance Listing Optimisation & Operations Specialist
airhosted is a Swiss short-term rental management company. We manage 60+ properties across 20+ cities and work with a lean, remote-first team that runs on performance, hospitality tech, and clean processes.
We're looking for an experienced freelance specialist who has done this work before and can hit the ground running — someone who brings their own knowledge and doesn't need the fundamentals explained.

The role
Full-time freelance. You'll work directly alongside our Revenue Strategist on listing optimisation across Airbnb and our other distribution channels. This is a collaborative, hands-on working relationship with continuous direction and feedback — not an isolated task queue.
What you'll be working on:
- Listing optimisation — keeping listings performing at their best across platforms. Titles, descriptions, photo ordering, amenity tags, and understanding how changes affect search visibility and conversion.
- Cross-platform content consistency — when a listing changes (new photos, updated amenities, seasonal description tweaks), you manage the full propagation across all OTAs and update Airtable and Notion without prompting. Nothing falls through the cracks.
- Back office discipline — content distributed across platforms must always match what's stored centrally. This requires precision and a methodical approach.
- Analytics & performance tracking — monitoring conversion rate, click-through rate, and search ranking, flagging anomalies, and connecting what you see in the numbers to what might be causing it.
We run a weekly team alignment and communicate daily via Slack. You manage your own deadlines and work independently between check-ins.

What we're looking for
- You have hands-on experience in listing optimisation — professionally, not just as a host. You have worked on multiple properties, know what levers exist, and have a track record of improving performance. This is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Deep working knowledge of Airbnb — the algorithm, ranking factors, listing structure, and optimisation levers. You know what moves the needle and why.
- Experience with a channel manager and/or property management system in a multi-OTA environment.
- Comfortable in Airtable and Notion.
- You're a process person. We define how things work — audits, content updates, platform sync — and you don't just follow the playbook, you help improve it. If something's inefficient or breaking down, you flag it and bring a better way. Consistency is the baseline; making the system smarter over time is the job.
- Structured, methodical, and able to manage your own workload across multiple properties.
