Host Solutions is a short-term rental management business based in Adelaide. We have grown from 8 properties in April 2025 to around 45 now, across the CBD, the coast and the Adelaide Hills. We look after homes on Airbnb and Booking.com for their owners, and we're now considering adding long-term rental management to what we offer.
About this expression of interest: We're aiming for someone to start in February 2027. This is an early EOI, so we're taking our time to find the right person rather than rushing a hire. You'll be working closely with me, and I'd rather spend a few weeks getting it right.
The role is full-time and Adelaide based. This is a hands-on Senior Property Manager role for someone who has worked on both the short-stay and the long-term side. It has three main parts:
- Client interactions: Being the main point of contact for our property owners, from first enquiry through to onboarding and ongoing management. Handling owner questions, monthly performance conversations and any issues that come up. Stepping in on guest escalations when needed.
- Accounting: Preparing owner statements and monthly owner payouts. Trust accounting and reconciliations in PropertyMe and Xero. Invoicing, supplier bills and keeping the numbers accurate, working alongside our bookkeeper.
- Leading the operations team: Leading our on-ground team, cleaners and maintenance trades day to day. Making sure properties are turned over properly and issues are fixed quickly. Keeping an eye on listings, reviews and pricing performance. Helping put proper processes and systems in place as we grow.
You'll also bring your long-term rental experience to help us decide on and set up a long-term management offering (leasing, inspections, tenancy matters and RTA compliance).
About you:
- Experience managing short-term rentals (Airbnb or similar).
- Experience in long-term residential property management in an agency.
- Confident with property accounting, including trust accounting, owner statements and reconciliations.
- Experience leading or managing a team.
- Comfortable dealing with owners directly, including the harder conversations.
- South Australian Registered Land Agent or Property Manager registration or qualification (or working towards it) is a strong plus.
- Comfortable with software. We use Hostaway, PropertyMe, Xero and PriceLabs, plus some AI tools for guest messaging, so experience with these or similar systems helps.
- Organised and calm under pressure.
- Your own car and a current driver's licence, as our properties are spread across the metro area, the coast and the Hills.
What's on offer: A key role in a growing local business, with real input into how it's run. Flexibility. Room to grow with the business, including the chance to help build out long-term rentals. A salary package to be discussed based on your experience.
