Job Type: Full-Time Seasonal – December to Mid-April
Reports To: Property Manager / Owner
Staff Accommodation: Subsidized, not free; in Courtenay. Available from November 15 to April 30 with possible extension to May 31

About the Role

As Head Housekeeper, you’re the backbone of our guest experience and the efficiency coordinator internally. You’ll take ownership of the cleanliness and presentation of our properties, ensuring every unit meets our high standards before guests arrive. You will also have a good understanding of the financials to the extent that you are keeping tabs on workers efficiency and proper documentation when things run long, and you are planning linen deliveries and work such that you are sending the work vehicle to the resort on a schedule that minimizes costs. This role blends hands-on cleaning with leadership and coordination—you’ll be both executing and overseeing daily operations. You’ll work closely with the property manager to manage schedules, be part of training new cleaners, oversee billables from cleaners and maintenance staff, and liaise with owners of the units we manage. Troubleshooting is your middle name! If you love creating order, take pride in a job well done, and enjoy working independently, this role is for you.

The ideal candidate has a friend or partner interested in the All-Rounder position and shares the 2-bedroom staff accommodation as they will work closely together and mostly on the same schedule.

We can usually guarantee Saturdays and Christmas day are days off. The schedule is determined by the ever-evolving vacation rental bookings, and we do our best to give you 2 days off in a row each week.

·        Integrate and test Breezeway for automated task scheduling, cleaner coordination, and guest messaging including guidebooks for launch by Mid-November

·        Monitor sync health across platforms and troubleshoot errors or outages

·        Ensure listing content (photos, descriptions, amenities) is accurate and up to date and esthetically pleasing with a playful/creative tone

Qualifications

·        Experience managing short-term rental listings (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.)

·        Familiarity with channel managers and property management software (Knowledge of WebRezPro an asset)

·        Hands-on experience with Breezeway or similar task automation tools an asset

·        Strong organizational and communication skills

·        Tech-savvy with a knack for troubleshooting integrations

·        Ability to work independently and meet deadlines

·        Bonus: Knowledge of SEO for listings, dynamic pricing tools, or guest messaging automation
