Regional Associate, Growth & Competition (Great Lakes & Smoky Mountain Region)

About the Role

We are seeking a Regional Associate to join a new outreach team supporting property hosts across the Great Lakes and Smoky Mountain region. In this role, you will use data to help hosts understand how their listings and pricing compare across booking platforms. You will also share education, tips, and insights that help them make informed decisions. This is a phone-heavy, relationship-driven role, a blend of business development and junior account management. It is well suited to someone early in their career who enjoys outbound outreach and building rapport quickly.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyze listing optimization opportunities and performance trends across a portfolio of high-potential host accounts, and act on data-driven opportunities that help hosts attract more bookings
• Make a high volume of outbound calls, roughly 10-20 per day, and reach hosts through video meetings and email, following up consistently across channels
• Present data clearly using charts and approved tools, and explain the platform's value to hosts
• Help hosts understand how their pricing compares across booking platforms, and address common questions and objections
• Maintain a baseline understanding of the technical integrations with various software partners
• Document conversations, classifications, and follow-ups in Salesforce, Gong, and team trackers
• Track progress toward quarterly goals and adjust your approach weekly
• Share learnings, objections, and best practices with the team
• Follow host communication guidelines at all times: educate and inform, provide objective, data-driven insights, and empower hosts to make their own pricing and business decisions
