Property Manager

Own the Experience. Lead the Team. Take Pride in the Coast.

Do you have a knack for spotting the little things before they become big problems? Do you take pride in your work, hold yourself and others accountable, and treat every property like it’s your own?

Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals is looking for a Property Manager with an ownership mentality to lead our Operations team and help us maintain some of the most beautiful vacation rental properties along the Emerald Coast.

This isn’t a desk-only management role. You’ll be out in the field, leading a team, walking properties, solving problems, coordinating repairs, communicating with owners and vendors, and making sure our homes are guest-ready and operating at the highest standard.

If you’re organized, proactive, solutions-oriented, and someone who naturally takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do, we want to meet you.

What You'll Do

  • Oversee the day-to-day operations, condition, and upkeep of our vacation rental properties.
  • Lead and support a team of Property Inspectors and an Assistant Property Manager.
  • Inspect properties for cleanliness, damage, maintenance concerns, and overall presentation.
  • Manage repairs, maintenance projects, and ongoing property needs from start to finish.
  • Create and manage employee schedules, daily task assignments, and operational priorities.
  • Coordinate schedules and work with cleaners, vendors, contractors, and other operational partners.
  • Communicate property issues clearly and provide detailed documentation to the appropriate departments.
  • Conduct meetings with team members, vendors, and property owners as needed.
  • Recruit, interview, and help build a strong Operations team.
  • Hold team members accountable while providing coaching, feedback, and development.
  • Jump in and assist with inspections and other operational needs when necessary.
  • Stay responsive and available throughout the workday across multiple communication platforms.
  • Collaborate with teams across the company to keep operations running smoothly.

We're Looking for Someone Who...

Takes ownership.

You don't wait for someone else to solve the problem. You see it, take responsibility for it, figure out the best solution, and follow it through to completion.

You understand that managing vacation rentals means the details matter. A loose handle, maintenance issue, cleanliness concern, missing supply, or communication breakdown can impact a guest's entire experience—and you're the person who makes sure those details don't slip through the cracks.

You are:

  • Accountable – You do what you say you're going to do and expect the same from your team.
  • Proactive – You identify problems before they become emergencies.
  • Organized – You can juggle schedules, people, properties, vendors, and competing priorities without losing track of the details.
  • A Leader – You know how to motivate, coach, delegate, and hold people accountable.
  • A Problem Solver – You stay calm when things go sideways and focus on finding a solution.
  • Detail-Oriented – You notice the things others miss.
  • Tech-Savvy – You're comfortable learning and using technology to keep operations moving.
  • A Team Player – You collaborate well with everyone from frontline employees to leadership.
  • Outgoing & Communicative – You aren't afraid to pick up the phone, have a conversation, or address an issue directly.
  • REAL – Respectful, Excellent, Accountable, and a Leader.

What You'll Bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • 2–3 years of management experience.
  • Experience leading a team and delegating responsibilities.
  • Strong communication, organization, and prioritization skills.
  • Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Reliable transportation.
  • Flexibility to work weekends, holidays, and on-call shifts as business needs require.

The Reality of the Role

This is an active position, and our properties aren't all in one building. You'll spend time both indoors and outdoors, walking properties and working throughout the Emerald Coast.

You should be comfortable with:

  • Prolonged periods of walking and being on your feet.
  • Working indoors, outdoors, and in warehouse environments.
  • Ascending and descending stairs and ladders as needed.
  • Lifting up to 50 pounds.

Schedule

  • 5-day work week
  • Typical hours between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM
  • Weekend availability is required.
  • On-call shifts as needed.
  • Flexibility to adjust your schedule based on business and operational needs.
