STR PMS & Automation Specialist | Hostaway | Airbnb | VRBO
I help short-term rental operators set up, organize, and improve PMS, OTA, onboarding, and property workflows so portfolios can launch cleanly and scale without operational chaos. I’ve worked across 40+ STR listings using Hostaway, Airbnb, Booking .com, VRBO, Expedia, PriceLabs, ChargeAutomation, Hostex, and Beds24 — supporting property onboarding, channel setup, listing configuration, synchronization, workflow implementation, and launch QA. My experience includes: • PMS setup and property onboarding • Airbnb, Booking .com, VRBO, and Expedia listing setup • Hostaway multi-property and channel management • OTA connections, availability, pricing rules, and synchronization checks • PriceLabs property-level configuration • ChargeAutomation guest and operational workflows • Beds24 and Booking .com channel integration • STR process improvement and implementation coordination • Property market research and STR vs. long-term rental analysis • Project coordination between clients, operations teams, and developers I also managed the implementation of an AI-powered Airbnb property-audit workflow that reduced a manual review process from approximately 8 hours to around 40 minutes. I coordinated the business requirements, worked with the developer, tested the workflow, and validated the final process. In another UK property project, I researched comparable sales, rental demand, STR potential, operating costs, and modeled rental yields to help determine whether a property was better suited to Buy-to-Let or Short-Term Rental. My strength is not simply operating software. I focus on understanding how the property, systems, channels, and workflows fit together so the setup is accurate, repeatable, and easier to manage as the portfolio grows.
