Growth Marketing Manager

Company Overview We build software for property management companies in the vacation rental industry. Our first product, Project MainSail , is an Owner Management Suite and the first third-party platform of its kind. It connects directly with a Property Management Company's existing Property Management Software (PMS), giving homeowners a modern experience with better reporting, a unified inbox, greater visibility into their investment, and a seamless onboarding process. Property management companies use Project MainSail to strengthen homeowner relationships, reduce churn, and deliver a more professional ownership experience without adding operational complexity. We're an early-stage SaaS company with ambitious growth plans and a clear vision for the future. Our team moves quickly, values great ideas over bureaucracy, and believes everyone should have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
