Why this role
Our Listing Content Team is focused on the accuracy and performance of 17,000+ online listings for Evolve homes across vacation rental sites including Airbnb, Vrbo, and Evolve.com. Providing our guests with an accurate perception of the Evolve home they’re booking starts with how we market the property — through our online listings. Managers of the Listing Activation Team uphold Evolve’s brand standards across a high volume of property listings, managing not just our online product, but the processes and people behind it. Your responsibilities range from coaching at an individual level to monitoring metrics and performance measures surrounding all listings. Your role is to ensure your direct reports execute quality, scalable work while also encouraging individual growth and engagement.
As an expert in both content and hospitality, you will stay on top of industry trends to help maintain Evolve’s high-performing listing standards, while also finding ways to maximize efficiency in the listing copy editing process. This role requires frequent collaboration with owner-facing teams, so it is also essential for you to grasp high-level needs surrounding core business functions.

What makes you a great fit
