Overviewonefinestay has two sets of customers ? guests and hosts. We call them members, and they?re hugely important to us. The Operations Manager will lead the team responsible for ensuring both our host and guest experiences? are exceptional.
Guests. The team looks after our guests from the moment their reservation is confirmed, to their departure from the onefinestay home. This includes collecting pre-stay communication via email, meeting and greeting the guests at the home and being on hand by phone or email for any queries (from troubleshooting home issues to providing info on the hottest brunch spots in town).
Hosts. The team also tackle any host queries, whether it be about their schedule of availability, questions on how to navigate their online account or questions arising from a guest stay in their home.
Currently we have team of Member Services Executives manning the phones and email. They are a group of fast-paced problem solvers, who eat inquires for breakfast and (as a matter of honor) don't 'pass the buck. We only hire a special kind of person for this team - dedicated to the cause and full of enthusiasm.
We also have a field team that we call Meet and Greeters. They are the face of onefinestay, meeting the guests and touring them around the home, they are presentable, knowledgeable and exceptionally personable.
