HOSTYO - STR Listing & Channel Setup Specialist (Airbnb + Booking.com + Expedia) — Connect to Hostex PMS

Feb 2026 - Present • 7 mos

As an STR Listing Creation, Optimization & Channel Setup Specialist, key responsibilities center on crafting high-converting listings through SEO-optimized title writing, persuasive property descriptions, and strategic photo curation that captures guest attention immediately. Multi-platform deployment across major Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com is paired with seamless integration into Property Management Systems (PMS) such as Hospitable, Guesty, or OwnerRez to unify calendars, synchronize amenity tagging, and prevent double-bookings. Beyond initial setup, performance audits help identify revenue leaks, while dynamic pricing tools like PriceLabs or Wheelhouse are configured to adjust minimum stays and seasonal rates, directly driving higher occupancy and average daily rates (ADR). Operations are further streamlined by building automated guest messaging workflows, digital guidebooks, and turnover schedules that ensure smooth day-to-day management and consistently high guest ratings.
