We're backed by leading investors and are growing fast — building a world-class team obsessed with quality, consistency, and hospitality at scale.
About the Role
As the Property Operations Manager – Hamptons, you’ll serve as Rove’s on-the-ground presence across our portfolio of luxury homes in the region.

This is a seasonal, part-time contractor role. Expect full-time hours during the summer, and part-time, on-call work during the rest of the year — roughly 5–20 hours per week based on project needs (e.g., onboarding new homes, performing audits, preparing homes for winter, etc.).

- Restock supplies, maintain inventories, and ensure homes meet Rove’s luxury standards
- Respond to on-the-ground guest and homeowner needs — often on short notice
- Conduct home audits and onboarding on an ad-hoc basis
- Maintain accurate records in Breezeway, Notion, Slack, and other tools
❄️ Off-Season (Part-Time / On-Call)
- Onboard and set up new homes (furniture assembly, staging, smart locks, etc.)
- ️️♂️ Conduct audits of prospective properties to identify brand fit for Launch team
- ❄️ Winterize properties and assist with seasonal prep (cover outdoor furniture, shut off water, etc.)
- Support special projects (deep cleans, vendor transitions, preventive maintenance)
Who You Are

- 2+ years experience in hospitality, STR, or property operations (luxury preferred)
- Hands-on, resourceful, and calm under pressure
- Comfortable working independently and coordinating with remote teams
- Handy with tools and minor repairs; familiar with smart home tech
- Tech-savvy — confident using Breezeway, Slack, Notion, Google Sheets
- Able to lift up to 50 lbs and navigate properties independently
Compensation & Hours
- Contractor (1099) role
- Full-time (~40 hrs/week) from late May–early September
- ⏱ Part-time/on-call (~5–20 hrs/week) during the off-season (October–April)
