Optimize Hospitality & Tourism Projects

About us

Zenset Retreats operates a growing short-term and mid-term rental portfolio across Arizona, Texas, and Mexico, with new markets under evaluation. We run on Guesty as our system of record, PriceLabs for dynamic pricing, and AirDNA for market data. Our operations, guest experience, and tech stack are already dialed in.

What we do not have is one person who wakes up every day thinking about one thing: revenue.

That is this role.

What this role is (and is not)

This is not a virtual assistant role. This is not calendar babysitting. We are not looking for someone to push the PriceLabs "sync" button and call it revenue management.

We want a revenue owner. Someone who treats every unsold night as permanently lost money, who reads booking pace before the calendar shows a problem, and who can defend a pricing decision with data instead of instinct.

If you have run revenue for a real portfolio and you can show us what you moved, keep reading.

What you will own

Dynamic pricing across the full portfolio. Base price architecture by season, minimum and maximum price floors and ceilings, day-of-week structure, and PriceLabs customizations tuned per listing rather than one global profile copied everywhere.

Booking pace and pickup. Weekly review of on-the-books revenue at 30, 60, and 90 days out versus the same window last year. Flag units pacing behind before occupancy suffers, and recommend the specific rate or restriction change to fix it.

Minimum stay and length-of-stay strategy. Dynamic min stays by season and day of week, LOS discount ladders, and gap or orphan night rules that fill mid-week holes without eroding the headline rate.

Comp set management. Build and refresh comp sets per property in AirDNA and PriceLabs Neighborhood Data. Tell us where each listing sits on price and value versus its real competition, and re-cut the comp set quarterly.

Event and seasonality calendars. Find the local demand events our tools miss and price them before the market does. Spring training and Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, Fiesta and conventions in San Antonio, Mardi Gras and summer beach season in Galveston, cross-border weekend and holiday patterns in Rosarito.

Channel mix and net revenue. Track cleared revenue per channel after fees, not headline rate. Flag when we are over-indexed on one OTA or leaving direct booking margin on the table.

Mid-term rental pricing. Part of the portfolio runs on a lease-and-sublease mid-term model. Monthly rate setting there follows different logic than nightly. Experience with 30-plus day pricing is a real plus.

A weekly revenue report. One page. What moved, why, what you changed, what you are testing next, and what you need from operations.

How we will measure you

We will hold you to numbers, not activity:

RevPAR by property versus comp set, position and trend
Pacing versus last year at 30, 60, and 90 days out
Occupancy achieved at target rate (not occupancy bought with discounts)
Portfolio ADR trend by season
Reduction in orphan and gap nights
Net revenue per channel after fees

We will give you baseline numbers in week one so you know exactly what you inherited.

Must have

Two-plus years running revenue for a short-term rental portfolio, ideally 10 or more units across more than one market
Hands-on PriceLabs expertise at the customization level: base price, min and max price, dynamic minimum stays, seasonal profiles, day-of-week adjustments, orphan gap rules, last-minute and far-out pricing
Working knowledge of Guesty (multi-calendar, reservations, reporting, channel manager) or a comparable PMS with the ability to get up to speed on Guesty fast
AirDNA or equivalent market intelligence (Key Data, Rabbu, Transparent) for comp sets, market pacing, and revenue benchmarking
Fluency in RevPAR, ADR, occupancy, pickup, pacing, booking curve, and LOS economics, and the ability to explain a decision using them
Strong spreadsheet skills. You should be comfortable building a pacing model without waiting for a dashboard to be built for you
Written English strong enough to write a report an owner reads and trusts
Overlap with US Central Time hours for at least part of your working day

Nice to have

Experience pricing across multiple currencies
Mid-term and corporate housing rate strategy
Experience with Hospitable, Truvi, Key Data, Wheelhouse, Beyond, or Rented
Direct booking revenue work: promotions, repeat guest offers, rate parity
Basic SQL, Looker Studio, or BI comfort for building your own reporting
Revenue management experience in hotels before moving into STR

Engagement

Start: paid trial project (see below), roughly 6 to 10 hours
Then: ongoing part-time, approximately 15 to 20 hours per week to start, with room to grow into a larger scope as the portfolio grows
Long term relationship preferred. We are not looking to re-hire this role in six months
Compensation: competitive hourly rate based on experience, plus a performance bonus tied to RevPAR growth versus baseline once we are past the first 90 days

How to apply

Skip the generic proposal. We read every application, and we can tell.

Send us:

A short note (under 250 words) describing one portfolio you managed: how many units, which markets, what the RevPAR or revenue looked like when you took over, and what it looked like after you
One specific pricing decision you made that you would defend today, and one you got wrong and what it taught you
The tools you have actually configured yourself, not just logged into
Your availability and your rate

This is a small private business centered on offering high-end medical care and tourism experience to people abroad (US-Canada). We are located in Quito, Ecuador, South America. We have become highly specialized in delivering individualized and personalized care for a wide variety of conditions, all at the hands of internationally recognized surgeons and highly competent aides.
The specialties more commonly handled are:
- Orthopaedic surgery
o hip, knee, and shoulder replacement surgery.
o arthroscopic surgery for shoulders and knees.
- General surgery
o Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Lap Chole).
o various hernias (inguinal hernioplasty, umbilical hernioplasty)
- Dentistry
o Cavities and fillings.
o Oral rehabilitation.
o Dental implants.
- Urologic surgery
o Prostate laser enucleation surgery (HolEP, Greenlight).
o Radical Prostatectomy.
o Varicocele, Hydrocele, testicular cancer surgery.
The objective is to refer potential patients for an online evaluation to decide whether their ailments can be satisfactorily treated by our team. Also, to define what kind of tourism experience they would prefer and tailor their itinerary accordingly. Your job is to find people in need of surgery or medical treatment and refer them to us. This is a commission based job, where you will be paid once the contract is signed and the patient has received treatment.

We're a stealth early-stage travel platform connecting travelers with local tour guides, currently in the final stretch before launch. We don't have customers yet, you'd be joining before the product goes live, helping build the network it launches with.
The founding team is small and hands-on. The focus is building real relationships with local tour-guides who will define what this platform feels like on day one.

The Role
You'll own the local guide community in your region end to end, not a call-center version of it. This is a relationship role first, an operations role second.
Build and grow a network of roughly 40–50 local tour-guides in your region, from outreach through onboarding.
Screen and select guides who fit the platform's quality bar; not just availability, but genuine hosting ability and passion for their region.
Build ongoing relationships with guides: check in regularly, understand their challenges, and be a real point of contact, not a dashboard.
Monitor and help raise the quality of the experiences guides offer; coach and encourage them to develop richer, more distinctive tours.
Build local bridges into adjacent communities; for example, students at tourism schools who could become guides or ambassadors themselves.
Represent the platform's culture locally: warm, honest, non-corporate, early-stage.

What We're Looking For

Warm, vibrant, approachable; someone guides would want to pick up the phone for.
Genuine passion and energy for travel and for your country or region specifically.
Comfortable with ownership and ambiguity; this is an early-stage company with no established playbook. You'll help write it.
Transparent and honest, including about your own mistakes or blind spots; not someone who needs to look like they have it all figured out.
Proactive; you don't wait to be told what to do, and you expect your voice to shape how this role evolves.
A real understanding of the local tourism landscape.

Nice to Have
Existing relationships with local tour-guides, tourism schools, or hospitality operators in the region.
Prior experience in community management, marketplace operations, or the tourism/travel sector.
Academic background in history, literature, arts or culture are welcomed.
Local language fluency plus working English.
An eye for storytelling; able to help guides showcase their experiences well.

This is a full-time mission with a monthly remuneration.

We are looking for someone to join us as a pricing and promotions specialist for our oud and perfume store, Alrsheed Oud, serving the Saudi market.

The main responsibility will be managing product pricing, promotions, discounts, and offers across the store. We need someone who understands the Saudi perfume and oud market and can help us make competitive pricing decisions while maintaining healthy margins.

The role will involve reviewing current prices, checking competitors and market offers, suggesting new promotions, and making sure our offers are attractive to customers without negatively affecting profitability.

We are looking for someone who can work with us on a long-term basis. This will be a monthly salary position, not a one-time project.

You can have a look at our store here:
https://alrsheedoud.com/

If you have relevant experience in pricing, promotions, e-commerce, or the Saudi perfume/oud market, please tell us a little about your experience and the type of work you have handled before.

We would also be happy to arrange a short meeting to explain the store, our current situation, and the role in more detail.

We're a boutique travel media and advisory company focused on design-forward hotels, meaningful travel, and highly curated client experiences. We work with a small pipeline of high-net-worth travelers, mostly from the US, UK, and the Gulf, and we place them in properties we've personally vetted.

This role is the operational engine of that work. You'll be the second pair of hands to our Head of Client Experience & Operations, and over time you'll own client trips from first inquiry through to the day they check out.

What You'll Do

You'll take a client from their first email through to the day they check in.

That means researching and shortlisting hotels, then building each proposal with three room categories: an entry option, a mid-tier, and a splurge. Quoting accurately, with the total including taxes and fees, the cancellation policy, and what's included. And writing the email that presents those options and the trade-offs between them.

To quote accurately you'll be dealing with hotels directly: requesting rates for exact dates, confirming the exact room category name before you quote it, and chasing the ones who go quiet, by email and by phone when email stops working. Once a trip is booked, you'll handle VIP pre-arrival, upgrades, amenities, celebration notes, room preferences, plus transfers and ground logistics.

Alongside that, you'll manage live client threads through proposal, revision, and booking, handle payment links and confirmations, and escalate the sensitive situations rather than improvising through them.

And you'll own our CRM. Trip statuses, proposal builds, automated email sequences, records that are actually accurate. Status hygiene matters here more than it sounds like it should, because the automations are tied to it.

One thing worth saying plainly: we hold the line on quality. If a client's budget doesn't reach a property we'd genuinely recommend, we'd rather present something slightly above budget and explain why than recommend a hotel we don't stand behind.

Who You Are
An outstanding writer in English
Genuinely interested in hotels, travel, and design. You have opinions about properties, and you can tell the difference between a good hotel and a well-marketed one
Extremely organized. Things don't slip, and you can hold roughly [X] active trips and [Y] new inquiries at once without dropping any of them
Calm when several things are urgent at the same time, and good at deciding which one isn't
Quick with new software, and comfortable using AI in your workflow. If you use AI to write, we'd rather you say so than hide it
Independent, and equally willing to ask before guessing
At least two years in luxury hospitality, travel, or a comparable high-touch environment

Nice to have: hotel-side experience, front office, reservations or guest relations, and a sense of who inside a hotel actually gets things done. A travel advisor platform, booking system, or CRM you've configured rather than only used, tell us which and what you did in it. Additional languages.

Logistics
Full-time, fully remote
We are only considering candidates based in the Americas or Europe
5 days a week, with half days on Saturday and Sunday and Tuesday or Wednesday off. Our clients travel on weekends and need to be serviced then. One weekend off per month.

Short-Term Rental Revenue & Booking Growth Specialist — Performance-Based Compensation

We are looking for an experienced short-term rental revenue and booking optimization specialist to increase bookings and revenue for our vacation rental properties.

This is not a research, audit, or strategy-only position. We are looking for someone who can start immediately, make changes, test them, and produce measurable booking results.

Our properties are distinctive vacation rentals in Desert Hot Springs/Palm Springs, California and Destin, Florida, with strong amenities and vacation appeal. We need someone who knows how to turn those advantages into higher visibility, stronger conversion, increased occupancy, and more revenue.

Platforms

You should have hands-on experience optimizing:

* Airbnb
* Booking.com
* VRBO
* Direct booking opportunities
* Google/search visibility for vacation rentals where appropriate

What You Will Be Responsible For

You will actively manage and improve the revenue performance of the properties, including:

Listing Optimization

* Improve titles, descriptions, amenities, photo order, captions, and listing positioning
* Identify weaknesses affecting search placement and conversion
* Optimize listings for each platform rather than simply copying the same strategy across Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO
* Improve search visibility and ranking within the booking platforms

Pricing & Revenue Management

* Review and adjust nightly pricing
* Optimize weekday vs. weekend rates
* Set minimum stays strategically
* Identify and fill occupancy gaps
* Create last-minute strategies for vacant dates
* Optimize seasonal and event pricing
* Recommend discounts only when they are likely to increase total revenue
* Increase RevPAR and overall monthly property revenue rather than simply lowering prices to increase occupancy

Booking Conversion

* Improve the percentage of listing views that become bookings
* Analyze competing properties and positioning
* Identify why guests may be choosing competitors
* Test pricing, promotions, listing copy, photos, minimum stays, and booking rules
* Develop strategies for slow periods and unbooked dates

Distribution & Direct Revenue

* Improve performance across Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO
* Identify opportunities to generate direct bookings
* Improve Google/search visibility where practical
* Reduce unnecessary dependence on a single booking platform

Performance-Based Compensation

This position is primarily performance-based.

We want to structure compensation around actual incremental bookings/revenue generated, with a clearly agreed baseline and tracking method established before work begins.

We are open to proposals such as:

* Percentage of incremental booking revenue above an agreed baseline
* Commission on qualifying new bookings attributable to your work
* Small initial setup fee + performance commission

We are not interested in paying a large monthly management fee without measurable results.

The stronger the revenue improvement, the more you can earn.

What We Are Looking For

Please apply only if you have direct experience increasing revenue for short-term rentals.

In your proposal, include:

1. Examples of Airbnb, Booking.com, or VRBO properties you have optimized.
2. Specific before-and-after results, such as occupancy, revenue, ADR, RevPAR, ranking, or booking increases.
3. What you would do during your first 7 days.
4. How quickly you typically expect to see measurable improvement.
5. What tools you use for pricing/revenue management (PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, Beyond, AirDNA, etc.).
6. Your proposed performance-based compensation structure.
7. How you would track which revenue increases resulted from your work.

Please begin your proposal with the words “BOOKING GROWTH” so we know you read the entire posting.

Important

We already understand our properties and markets. We are not looking to spend several weeks paying someone simply to research the market and prepare a report.

We want someone who can quickly assess the existing listings, identify immediate opportunities, implement changes, monitor performance, and continuously optimize based on actual booking data.

Primary goal: more profitable bookings and higher total revenue.

I’m looking for an experienced, hands-on marketing professional to help manage and grow the marketing for my Airbnb property.

The primary goal is to increase bookings, occupancy, and revenue while building a stronger long-term marketing strategy for the property.

This is more than a social media role. I’m looking for someone who can think strategically, identify opportunities, and take ownership of marketing initiatives.

Responsibilities may include optimizing the Airbnb listing, researching competitors, developing seasonal promotions, identifying local marketing partnerships, improving search visibility, recommending advertising opportunities, developing repeat-guest and direct-booking strategies, and tracking which marketing activities actually produce bookings.

The ideal candidate will have experience in Airbnb, short-term rentals, hospitality, tourism, or local business marketing. Experience with Airbnb SEO, Google, social media advertising, email marketing, dynamic pricing, and competitive market research is a plus.

I’m looking for someone who is proactive and continually asks: “What can we do next to generate more profitable bookings?”

We're a boutique travel media and advisory company focused on design-forward hotels, meaningful travel, and highly curated client experiences. We work with a small pipeline of high-net-worth travelers, mostly from the US, UK, and the Gulf, and we place them in properties we've personally vetted.

This role is the operational engine of that work. You'll be the second pair of hands to our Head of Client Experience & Operations, and over time you'll own client trips from first inquiry through to the day they check out.

**Please read the two conditions below before applying. If either one isn't true for you, this isn't the right role.**

**One: you write excellent English.** A large part of this job is prose that goes directly to affluent clients: first-response emails, proposal write-ups, hotel comparisons, pre-arrival notes. Your writing needs to be warm, precise, and free of filler. If English isn't a language you write with near-native fluency and genuine care, please don't apply.

**Two: you are exceptionally detail-oriented and enjoy operational complexity.** Room categories, tax-inclusive totals, cancellation deadlines, commission terms, and confirmation numbers all have to be right. A room described one size too large or a rate quoted without taxes is a real problem for a real client. We will test for this with a short paid exercise before any interview.

We also work in a highly collaborative, low-politics environment built on honesty, accountability, and direct communication. We expect people to flag problems early, own mistakes plainly, and work through them without defensiveness or drama. Nobody here is expected to be perfect. We do expect transparency and maturity.

## What You'll Do

### Hotel Research & Proposals

- Research and shortlist hotels for each client, working from our internal database first and, when a trip takes us outside it, from a small set of curatorial sources we'll show you
- Build every hotel proposal with three room categories: an entry option, a mid-tier, and a splurge
- Quote accurately: total cost including taxes and fees, cancellation policy, and what's included
- Write the client-facing proposal email that frames the options and the trade-offs between them
- Hold the line on quality. If a client's budget doesn't reach a property we'd genuinely recommend, we'd rather present something slightly above budget and explain why than recommend a hotel we don't stand behind

### Supplier & Hotel Coordination

- Request rates directly from hotels for exact dates, and confirm the exact room category name with the hotel before quoting it
- Chase non-responders. Follow up by email, and escalate to a phone call when a request goes quiet
- Coordinate VIP pre-arrival: upgrades, amenities, celebration notes, room preferences, arrival times
- Arrange airport transfers, tours, and ground logistics
- Track whether a booking is commissionable, flag when a room is only available on a hotel's direct site, and handle take-overs of client bookings

### Client Communication

- Write first-response emails to new inquiries, with the right follow-up questions for each trip type
- Manage live client threads through the proposal, revision, and booking stages
- Handle payments, payment links, invoices, and confirmations
- Escalate complex or sensitive client situations rather than improvising

### Systems & Records

- Own our CRM: trip statuses, proposal builds, automated client email sequences, and record accuracy
- Keep status hygiene exact. When a status is moved manually, the automations tied to the previous stage get removed, and records are archived once a trip closes
- Quality-control itineraries and client communications before they go out
- Help improve our internal workflows and documentation as we grow

## Who You Are

- An outstanding writer in English
- Genuinely interested in hotels, travel, and design. You have opinions about properties, and you can tell the difference between a good hotel and a well-marketed one
- Extremely organized, and you don't let things slip
- Comfortable holding roughly [X] active trips and [Y] new inquiries a week at the same time
- Calm under pressure and good at prioritizing when several things are urgent at once
- Quick with new software and comfortable using AI tools in your workflow. If you use AI to write, we'd rather you say so than hide it
- Able to work independently, and equally able to ask before guessing
- At least two years in luxury hospitality, travel, or a comparable high-touch environment

### Nice to have

- Experience with a travel advisor platform, a booking or reservations system, or a CRM you've configured rather than only used. Tell us which one and what you did in it
- Hotel-side experience (front office, reservations, guest relations), and a sense of who inside a hotel actually gets things done
- Additional languages

## Logistics

- Full time, fully remote
- We are only considering candidates based in the Americas or Europe
- 5 days a week, with half days on Saturday and Sunday and Tuesday or Wednesday off. Our clients travel on weekends and need to be serviced then
- Your hours need to overlap with Central European Time for internal work, and reach hotels in Asia within their business day. Southeast Asia is a large part of our pipeline
- Immediate start. This role is replacing a team member departing on September 10
- Contract to hire, with compensation based on experience

## To Apply

Skip the generic cover letter. We read these carefully, and a template is easy to spot.

Answer these four, briefly and specifically:

1. Tell us about a time an operational detail went wrong on your watch. What happened, how did you find out, and what did you do?
2. Name three hotels you personally admire and say what makes each one good.
3. What's your process for making sure a quote or a booking record is correct before it leaves your hands? We're asking about your actual system, not the intention to be careful.
4. What systems, tools, or workflows do you genuinely enjoy using, and what do you use them for?

We're a weekly travel publication covering destinations from a wellness perspective — where to go, what to do, and why you'd visit. Think 72-hour itineraries in nature, at a wellness retreat, or on the adventure of a lifetime.

We're hiring freelance travel writers to produce articles, curated guides, and email newsletter content related to our upcoming destinations across the globe. Correspondents cover hotel and retreat reviews, build destination guides, and help shape the weekly edition that goes out to our newsletter audiences.

If this sounds like a role for you, please apply. Include links to relevant writing samples, provide social media or website references, and please share some of the places you've traveled in the last 24 months.

This is a per-assignment role with the opportunity for ongoing projects related to our destinations. Thank you for your interest.

Project Overview

We are seeking an experienced interior designer to develop a conceptual interior refresh for an existing restaurant in Guam.

This project is being created as a visual example of what could be accomplished through a future sponsored restaurant improvement and transformation program.

We will provide the selected designer with photographs, video walkthroughs, measurements where available, and additional information about the restaurant.

The goal is not to redesign the building from the ground up. We want to demonstrate how thoughtful, realistic changes could significantly improve the restaurant's appearance, atmosphere, and customer experience without requiring a complete renovation.

The completed concept will be used as part of a professional presentation to prospective corporate sponsors and partners.

Scope of Work

The selected designer will:

Review photographs and video walkthroughs of the existing restaurant.
Evaluate the current dining area from a customer-experience and visual-design perspective.
Identify the highest-impact opportunities for improvement.
Develop a cohesive proposed design direction appropriate for the restaurant and its clientele.
Recommend changes involving items such as furniture, lighting, wall treatments, paint, décor, artwork, plants, signage, table presentation, partitions, fixtures, and other non-structural improvements.
Where practical, retain existing restaurant elements that can be reused, repositioned, refinished, or incorporated into the new design.
Create visual mockups/renderings showing how the restaurant could look after the proposed improvements.
Provide before-and-after comparisons that make the transformation easy to understand.
Recommend specific products or comparable products that could be purchased to execute the concept.
Provide links, supplier information, approximate pricing, quantities, and estimated costs where reasonably available.
Organize recommendations into a simple proposed improvement budget.
Identify potential opportunities for sponsor involvement, such as furniture, lighting, paint, décor, technology, signage, appliances, building materials, or other relevant categories.
Desired Deliverables

The final project should include:

1. Existing-Space Assessment
A concise explanation of the primary opportunities for improving the restaurant's appearance and customer experience.

2. Design Direction / Mood Board
Colors, materials, furniture, lighting, décor, and overall visual direction.

3. Concept Renderings
Several realistic visualizations of the proposed restaurant refresh using the actual existing space as the foundation.

4. Before-and-After Presentation Views
Clear comparisons suitable for showing corporate sponsors what their participation could help accomplish.

5. Recommended Product List
A practical list containing, where possible:

Product
Recommended quantity
Supplier/vendor
Purchase link
Approximate unit price
Approximate total price
Suggested alternative where appropriate

Preference should be given to products that can realistically be purchased and shipped to Guam.

6. Proposed Transformation Budget
A summarized estimate showing what could potentially be accomplished at different investment levels.

Where practical, we would like the designer to identify options such as:

Essential Refresh
Enhanced Refresh
Full Concept

This will allow us to demonstrate to prospective sponsors what different levels of financial or in-kind support could accomplish.

Important Project Considerations

This concept needs to be aspirational but executable.

We are not looking for a beautiful rendering filled with custom furniture and materials that would be impractical or prohibitively expensive to obtain in Guam.

The strongest proposal will demonstrate how intelligent design decisions can create a noticeable transformation using a realistic budget.

Because Guam has unique shipping and product-availability considerations, designers should take logistics into account when recommending specific products.

Structural modifications, major electrical work, plumbing changes, code compliance, engineering, permitting, and architectural services are outside the initial scope unless specifically discussed.

How the Work Will Be Used

We are developing a broader initiative intended to bring together local restaurants, professional experts, corporate sponsors, and media to demonstrate how strategic investment can help strengthen Guam businesses and improve customer experiences.

This initial design concept will serve as a proof of concept.

It may be presented privately to prospective sponsors to demonstrate:

Here is a real restaurant.
Here is what it looks like today.
Here is what it could become.
Here is approximately what the transformation would require.
And here are specific areas a sponsor could help make possible.

The objective is to make the opportunity tangible rather than asking prospective partners to imagine it from a written proposal alone.

Ideal Candidate

We are particularly interested in designers with experience in:

Restaurant or hospitality interiors
Commercial interior design
Interior refreshes using existing spaces
Budget-conscious transformations
Interior visualization/rendering
FF&E selection
Remote design projects
Creating professional client or investor presentations

Experience designing for tropical, island, hospitality, tourism, or destination markets is a plus.

Proposal Requirements

Please include:

Relevant portfolio examples
Examples of restaurant/hospitality work, if available
Examples of before-and-after concepts
Rendering/visualization capabilities
Software used
Estimated turnaround time
Proposed project fee
Number of revisions included
What information or measurements you would require from us
Confirmation that you are comfortable sourcing products that can realistically be obtained or shipped to Guam

Please also briefly explain how you would approach improving an existing restaurant without unnecessarily replacing elements that can be retained or improved.

We are looking for someone who can combine good design, practical thinking, realistic sourcing, and strong visual presentation.

About Oceavo (Pronounced oh-SEE-vo) https://oceavo.com/
Oceavo is an early-stage, curated travel platform focused on helping premium travelers choose and plan the right experience across luxury cruises, private yacht charters, refined stays, and carefully selected shoreside experiences.

Our immediate commercial focus is on two high-value funnels:
• Luxury cruise planning
• Private yacht charter inquiries

Our website is nearly complete, and we already have:
• A 90-day content calendar for Instagram and LinkedIn
• A Yacht vs. Luxury Cruise lead magnet
• Low-, mid-, and high-intent calls to action
• Inquiry forms and initial response flows
• A backend for managing traveler inquiries
• Early partner-development efforts with cruise advisors and yacht charter brokers

We are now looking for a strategic growth partner to ensure our content, tracking, paid-media testing, and lead-generation efforts are built around the right commercial goals before we begin consistent production and ad spend.

Project Overview
This is a focused 10–14 day growth foundation sprint.
We are not looking for someone to create another broad marketing plan, manage social media, or immediately launch large advertising campaigns.
We need an experienced growth strategist who can review what has already been built, identify the highest-leverage improvements, and create a clear measurement and testing framework that our founder, developer, and future content producer can execute.

For the initial 90-day pilot, we intend to take a leaner approach by selecting approximately 12–18 core content assets from the larger calendar rather than producing every concept immediately. These will serve as master assets that may be adapted across Instagram, LinkedIn, email, and paid-media testing. The strategist should help us identify the strongest initial set based on our commercial goals, target travelers, funnel stages, and most important validation questions.

The final work should help Oceavo answer:
• Which content and channels generate qualified cruise and yacht inquiries?
• How should low-, mid-, and high-intent users be measured?
• Which posts should remain organic, and which should be tested through paid media?
• Which 12–18 core content assets should be produced first to test Oceavo’s most important commercial assumptions?
• How should we track a lead that is ultimately booked offline through a cruise advisor or yacht charter broker?
• Which metrics matter before we have significant booking volume?
• How should our content producer create and test variations rather than simply publish the calendar?
• When should Oceavo start paid acquisition, and what should the first tests look like?

Scope of Work and Expected Deliverables

1. Funnel and Conversion Audit
Review the current Oceavo website, lead magnet, inquiry forms, calls to action, confirmation flows, and backend inquiry stages.
Map the primary customer journeys, including:
• Content to lead-magnet download
• Lead magnet to personalized recommendation
• Content or destination page to cruise inquiry
• Signature Journey page to yacht charter inquiry
• Inquiry to partner introduction
• Partner introduction to proposal, booking, and commission revenue
Identify gaps, unnecessary friction, weak handoffs, or missing conversion signals.

2. Measurement and Attribution Plan
Create a practical tracking framework covering the full journey from first visit to eventual booking.
The plan should define:
• GA4 and Google Tag Manager events
• Meta Pixel and Conversions API requirements
• LinkedIn Insight Tag requirements
• Google Ads conversion actions
• UTM naming conventions
• Lead-source and campaign fields that should be stored in our PostgreSQL backend
• Tracking for guide downloads, recommendation requests, inquiries, qualified leads, partner introductions, won bookings, and commission revenue
• A realistic approach to offline conversion tracking when bookings occur through cruise advisors or yacht brokers
The final specification should be clear enough for our PERN/AWS developer to implement.

3. KPI and Reporting Framework
Define a hierarchy of business and diagnostic metrics.
We expect the framework to include metrics such as:
• Cost per landing-page visitor
• Cost per lead-magnet download
• Landing-page conversion rate
• Cost per inquiry
• Cost per qualified inquiry
• Partner acceptance rate
• Guest introduction rate
• Proposal or quote rate
• Inquiry-to-booking rate
• Expected commission per lead
• Revenue by funnel, channel, campaign, and source content
We do not want a strategy centered only on impressions, follower growth, engagement, CTR, or CPC.
Please recommend a simple Phase 1 dashboard or reporting structure that our founder can realistically maintain.

4. 90-Day Content Calendar Audit and Core Asset Selection
Review our existing 90-day Instagram and LinkedIn content calendar.

We do not need the calendar rewritten from scratch. We need it classified, strengthened, and narrowed to approximately 12–18 core master assets for the initial 90-day pilot.

The strategist should recommend the final selection. As a starting point, we expect the core set to include approximately:

•3 yacht-versus-luxury-cruise comparison or decision assets
•2 yacht-specific assets
•2 luxury-cruise-specific assets
•2 cost-and-value assets
•2 traveler-scenario assets
•2 destination-led assets, representing both the Caribbean and Mediterranean
•2 Oceavo trust, process, or founder-authority assets

This creates a working target of approximately 15 master assets within the broader 12–18 asset range. The strategist may recommend modest changes to this mix if supported by the funnel audit and commercial objectives.

The final selection should be reasonably balanced across:

Yacht, cruise, and neutral comparison content
Low-, mid-, and high-intent travelers
Educational, aspirational, trust-building, and direct-response content
Caribbean and Mediterranean relevance

These are master content assets, not necessarily the total number of published posts. A master concept may be adapted into multiple formats, such as an Instagram Reel, carousel, LinkedIn post, email, blog article, or paid-media variation.

For each selected asset, identify:

•Target audience
•Funnel stage
•Intended user action
•Commercial question or hypothesis the asset is intended to test
•Recommended platform and format
•Organic versus paid potential
•Primary success metric
•Repurposing opportunities
•Creative-testing opportunities
•Any claims, statistics, examples, or social-proof language that should be verified, reframed, or
held until substantiated

Provide a prioritized production and launch sequence so the content producer knows what should be created first.

5. Channel and Paid-Media Testing Strategy
Recommend the initial role of:
• Instagram
• LinkedIn
• Meta paid social
• Google Search
• Email nurture
• Retargeting
Create a lean paid-testing roadmap covering:
• Which platform to test first
• Which conversion event to optimize for initially
• Prospecting versus retargeting
• Audience hypotheses
• Campaign structure
• Creative-testing variables
• Suggested minimum test budget
• Testing duration
• Criteria for pausing, revising, or scaling a campaign
• How to avoid spreading an early-stage budget across too many campaigns or audiences
We want a controlled learning plan, not a recommendation to immediately scale ad spend.

6. Creative Testing Framework
Create a framework that a content producer can use to develop meaningful creative variations.
Examples may include:
• Emotional versus practical hooks
• Yacht-first versus cruise-first framing
• Founder-led versus editorial creative
• Destination imagery versus traveler lifestyle
• Caribbean versus Mediterranean positioning
• Educational versus direct-response calls to action
• Lead-magnet versus high-intent inquiry creative
Define what should remain constant in each test and what should change.

7. Content Producer Operating Brief
Prepare a concise execution brief for the content producer or social media manager we hire after this sprint.
The brief should explain:
• Priority content formats
• Expected output for the selected 12–18 core master assets and their platform-specific adaptations
• How each master asset should be repurposed across Instagram, LinkedIn, email, website content, or paid media where appropriate
• Which selected assets require alternate hooks, covers, formats, or creative versions for structured testing
• Brand and visual consistency expectations
• Asset sourcing and usage-rights requirements
• Reporting expectations
• How strong organic posts should be identified for paid testing
• How the producer and growth strategist should collaborate

8. Final Recommendations and Handoff
Provide:
• A prioritized 30-, 60-, and 90-day action plan
• Immediate implementation priorities
• Items that should be deferred
• Key risks or assumptions
• Recommended initial ad tests
• A final working session with the founder
• A developer-ready tracking specification
• A producer-ready execution brief
• A final prioritized list of 12–18 core content assets, including the recommended production sequence, funnel role, intended CTA, and repurposing opportunities

The final output should be practical, prioritized, and usable—not a generic strategy presentation.

Required Skills and Experience
We are looking for someone with strong experience in several of the following areas:
• Growth strategy for high-consideration or high-ticket services
• Luxury travel, hospitality, tourism, cruises, yacht charter, or premium lifestyle brands
• Lead-generation funnels
• Paid social and paid search strategy
• Meta Ads and Google Ads
• GA4 and Google Tag Manager
• Meta Pixel and Conversions API
• UTM strategy and campaign attribution
• Offline conversion tracking
• CRM or backend lead-stage measurement
• Performance creative and structured experimentation
• Landing-page and form-conversion analysis
• Working with developers and content producers
• Translating marketing activity into qualified leads and revenue
Experience with a partner-routed sales model is especially valuable. Oceavo may originate and qualify the inquiry, while the final cruise or yacht booking is completed by a trusted advisor or broker.

Communication Expectations
Strong communication is essential.
The selected strategist should:
• Communicate clearly and directly
• Document assumptions and recommendations
• Flag missing information or risks early
• Be comfortable challenging assumptions when supported by evidence
• Avoid unnecessary jargon and oversized presentations
• Keep deliverables organized and easy to hand off
• Be available for a kickoff call, midpoint review, and final working session (Draft final deliverables should be shared before the session)
We value proactive communication. We do not want to discover at the end of the sprint that an important dependency or tracking limitation was identified earlier but never raised.

How We Like to Work
Oceavo is a lean, founder-led business.
You will work primarily with:
• The founder, who leads brand partnerships, lead review, and commercial decisions
• The developer, who manages the PERN/AWS website, database, inquiry backend, and technical integrations
• A content producer or social media manager who will be hired to execute the revised 90-day calendar
Our preferred working style is:
• Primarily asynchronous
• Clear written recommendations
• Short, purposeful calls
• Fast identification of what is essential versus what can wait
We appreciate thoughtful recommendations, but we do not want the project to become another lengthy planning phase. The purpose of this sprint is to help us begin publishing, testing, measuring, and learning with greater discipline.
Some overlap with U.S. Eastern Time is preferred for calls and timely communication.

What Success Looks Like
At the end of the engagement, Oceavo should have:
• A clear understanding of what to measure
• A reliable plan for attributing qualified inquiries and offline bookings
• A prioritized plan for the first 12–18 core content assets selected from the broader 90-day calendar
• A realistic first paid-media testing plan
• A repeatable creative-testing framework
• A clear brief for the content producer
• Developer-ready implementation requirements
• Defined goals for the first 30, 60, and 90 days
• Confidence that content and advertising decisions are tied to qualified leads and eventual revenue

Project Structure
• Engagement: Fixed-scope strategy sprint
• Timeline: 10–14 calendar days
• Work style: Remote
• Potential follow-on work: Periodic performance reviews, campaign analysis, or fractional growth support if the initial engagement is successful
This initial engagement does not include ongoing content production, daily social media management, or a long-term advertising retainer unless separately agreed.

How to Apply
Please include:
1. A brief explanation of your relevant growth-strategy experience.
2. One or two examples involving luxury travel, hospitality, high-ticket services, or long sales cycles.
3. An example of how you measured a lead that converted offline through a salesperson, advisor, broker, or partner.
4. Your proposed approach to this 10–14 day sprint.
5. The specific deliverables you would expect to provide.
6. Your availability and proposed fixed project fee.
7. The analytics, advertising, and reporting tools you commonly use.
8. Any information you would need from our founder or developer before starting.
Please focus your proposal on qualified leads, attribution, experimentation, and revenue—not only social engagement, traffic, or lower CPC.

Budget is approximately $2,000 for the defined sprint. We are open to strong proposals that clearly justify a different fee based on relevant experience and proposed deliverables.

# Multi-Entity Bookkeeper (QuickBooks + Gusto) — Ongoing

## About the Role

We're looking for an experienced, detail-oriented bookkeeper to manage the books across **3–5 LLCs/organizations** under common ownership. This is an ongoing, recurring engagement — not a one-off project. You'll own monthly financial reporting end-to-end, help us stay clean on payroll/contractor classification, and prepare everything in a way that hands off cleanly to our tax team at year-end.

We operate in the tour/hospitality and services space, with entities that include marketing/creative operations and hospitality rental operations. Each entity has its own set of books in QuickBooks.

## Responsibilities

**Transaction categorization & bookkeeping**
- Categorize all expenses and transactions across multiple QuickBooks company files, applying correct chart-of-accounts treatment (including distinguishing capitalized items like equity investments/loans receivable from ordinary deductible expenses)
- Reconcile bank and credit card accounts monthly across all entities
- Flag and correct miscategorized transactions, keeping each entity's books cleanly separated (no cross-entity commingling)

**Monthly financial reporting**
- Prepare monthly Profit & Loss statements per entity
- Prepare and update Balance Sheets per entity
- Prepare Cash Flow statements per entity
- Prepare a handful of custom internal reports (details below)

**Owner distribution reporting (custom report — key responsibility)**
- Prepare a monthly report showing owners what distributions are available/payable, calculated off of **cash flow movement, not net income/P&L profit alone** — you'll need to understand why these can diverge (e.g., non-cash items, capital expenditures, loan principal payments, timing of receivables/payables) and build a repeatable methodology for this each month
- Present this clearly enough that ownership can make a distribution decision from it without needing to interpret raw financials themselves

**Payroll & contractor administration**
- Help ensure contractor (1099) and W-2 employee payment profiles are set up correctly in Gusto
- Confirm classification is being applied correctly and consistently (contractor vs. employee) — flag anything that looks like a misclassification risk
- Coordinate/verify accurate and timely payouts through Gusto for both contractor and W-2 populations
- Keep QuickBooks and Gusto data in sync (payroll journal entries booked correctly each cycle)

**Tax-ready handoff**
- Maintain books to a standard that our external tax team/CPA can pick up directly at year-end without significant cleanup
- Apply correct, defensible treatment for common deductions and entity-specific tax considerations (understanding what does and doesn't reduce taxable income — e.g., capital contributions/investments vs. deductible operating expenses)
- Respond to ad hoc requests from our tax preparer for backup documentation or clarification on entries

## Requirements

- Proven bookkeeping experience managing **multiple entities/company files simultaneously** — please describe your experience with multi-entity bookkeeping specifically in your application
- Strong proficiency in **QuickBooks** (Online strongly preferred) — comfortable with multi-company setups, not just single-entity data entry
- Experience with **Gusto** for contractor (1099) and W-2 payroll administration
- Solid working knowledge of **U.S. tax fundamentals** as they apply to small business bookkeeping — understands the difference between deductible expenses, capitalized assets, and owner distributions/draws, and prepares books accordingly so nothing needs to be re-explained to our tax team
- Comfortable working with **cash flow-based** reporting, not just accrual P&L — must understand why cash flow and net income diverge and be able to build reporting around that distinction
- Understanding of contractor vs. employee classification basics (enough to flag risk, not to give legal advice)
- Strong written communication — you'll be explaining financial reports to non-accountant owners in plain language
- Reliable, deadline-driven — monthly reports need to land on a consistent schedule
- U.S. tax/bookkeeping experience required (this is U.S.-based tax treatment, not international)

## Nice to Have

- Experience with LLCs taxed as partnerships or S-corps, specifically around distribution/basis tracking
- Prior experience bookkeeping for hospitality, tourism, rental, or marketing/agency businesses
- Experience preparing books that were later handed directly to a CPA for tax filing (can speak to what made that handoff smooth)

## Engagement Details

- **Scope:** 3–5 LLCs/entities, ongoing monthly cadence
- **Tools used:** QuickBooks (Online), Gusto
- **Deliverables each month:** P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and Owner Distribution report per entity, plus payroll/contractor payout verification
- **Communication:** Expect regular async check-ins plus a monthly review call to walk through the distribution report with ownership

## How to Apply

Please include:
1. Your experience managing books for multiple entities at once (how many, what industries)
2. Your experience with Gusto specifically for contractor + W-2 payroll
3. A brief example of how you'd explain the difference between a cash-flow-based distribution and a profit-based distribution to a non-accountant owner
4. Your availability/capacity for an ongoing monthly engagement

I'm launching The Profit Potential SystemTM, a strategic finance and business advisory methodology for established business owners (bricks and mortar: retail, hospitality, tourism, accommodation, health and fitness, trades and professional services). I need a logo and typography system that looks credible in a boardroom and still stops the scroll in a social feed.

What I need

Primary logo (wordmark led)
Responsive variations: horizontal, stacked, icon only for favicon and social avatar
Icon or symbol that works standalone at 32px
Typography system: display/heading face plus body face, with a licensing note for each
Colour palette in hex, with usage rules
One page brand reference sheet
Source files: AI or Figma, plus SVG, PNG and EPS exports

Direction

Charcoal base with one bold accent colour. I do not want navy and silver. The accounting sector is saturated with it and the whole point is to not look like everyone else.
No AI styled logos and fonts
No calculators, columns, coins, ticks, upward arrows or generic bar graphs. These are overused in this sector.
The underlying idea is the gap between a business's current profit and its potential profit. A simple abstract geometric expression of that gap is welcome, but I'm open to your interpretation.
Clean and confident, not corporate-sterile. Distinctive typography and considered asymmetry are welcome. Illustrative, hand-drawn, retro and mascot styles are not.

It has to work in three places

A LinkedIn document carousel
A Facebook or Instagram feed, sitting next to consumer content
The cover of a printed advisory report

Please show it in all three contexts in your presentation.

Deliverable
Logo and type as designed by you
The logo put into a LinkedIn Header

Timeline

2 weeks to first concepts, with two rounds of revisions included.

To apply - PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL OR WHATSAPP ME - YOUR CONNECTION WILL BE REJECTED

Send three examples of professional services or B2B identity work you've done. Please don't send a general portfolio link and leave me to find the relevant work.
Tell me in one or two sentences what you'd avoid doing with a finance brand and why.
Confirm that full ownership and commercial rights transfer to me on final payment, and that any fonts recommended are either open licence (I have Canva pro I can use) or that you've quoted the licence cost.

I'm looking for someone who will push back with a reason if they think I'm wrong about something.

I need practical help reaching out to luxury and mid-range hotels across India and persuading them to complete a short online survey for my new culinary-travel startup. The single goal is to gather solid market data from these properties so I can shape upcoming product features and partnerships.

You will craft concise, appealing email or phone scripts, identify the right contact at each hotel, handle follow-ups, and keep detailed notes on response status. Fluency in English is essential; any additional Indian languages are a plus because I want genuine conversations rather than generic blasts. Proven experience with hospitality databases, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or similar tools will make the work far smoother.

Deliverables
• Verified list of luxury and mid-range hotels contacted (name, location, contact person, email/phone, outreach date, response).
• Completed survey responses exported to Google Sheets.
• Brief summary highlighting response rates, common feedback themes, and any friction points you noticed during outreach.

I will provide the survey link, brand deck, and an email address from my domain. Let me know your estimated timeline and how many hotels you believe you can realistically engage each week.

Hello Ayaz, I hope you’re doing well. I have a 4-bedroom listing in Miami that is already live on Airbnb, and I need to set it up on Hospitable. Can you handle the setup? The listing is already complete; I only need the Hospitable setup. Also, what would you charge for this?

We’re looking for a high-end colorist / color grader to collaborate with us on a hotel project, with the potential for a long-term collaboration on future commercial and hospitality work.

We’re a film production studio working on high-quality commercial projects, and we have a very high standard when it comes to image quality and color.

The project

For this first project, we shot around 25 individual high-quality still frames, which will also be used to create several short header videos.

In total, we expect around 30–35 frames / shots to be graded.

The visual direction is:

• warm and inviting
• premium but natural
• cinematic, without looking overly stylized
• subtle film grain
• beautiful skin tones and natural materials
• consistent across the entire project
• high-end hospitality / architectural feel

We already have color grading capabilities in-house, but for selected projects we want to work with experienced specialists who can push the image further and bring an additional level of quality and expertise.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who:

• has a strong eye for cinematic, premium commercial grading
• has experience with hospitality, hotels, architecture, lifestyle or luxury brands
• can work independently and make confident creative decisions
• understands how to create consistency across a large set of images
• is comfortable working in a live grading session with our team
• ideally works in DaVinci Resolve
• is interested in building a long-term relationship rather than doing just one job

We’re not looking for someone who simply applies a LUT and pushes the contrast. We want someone who really understands light, color, skin tones, materials, atmosphere and visual storytelling.

Budget

For this first project, our budget is approximately €500–700 as a flat project fee, depending on the final scope and experience.

If the collaboration works well, we’re very interested in working together on future projects with higher budgets and ongoing work.

Please send us

• Your portfolio / website
• Examples of hotel, hospitality, architecture or luxury work
• A few before/after grading examples if available
• Your preferred workflow and availability
• Your price for this project

We’re looking for someone genuinely excellent at what they do, so quality and creative fit are more important to us than simply finding the cheapest option.

If the first project goes well, there is definitely potential for a long-term collaboration on commercial films, hospitality campaigns, fashion and lifestyle projects.

Hello!

I'd like to invite you to have a chat with us. We are looking to start working together with someone on our travel section of our website. We have a lifestyle site that focuses on the 55+ audience in the U.S.

About the Project

We are validating the financial underwriting and business plan for a planned luxury boutique hospitality development in Greece. To ensure our projections are grounded in market reality, we need to extract, calibrate, and structure 36 months of historical (24 months) and forward-pacing (12 months) competitive market intelligence.

We are looking for a senior Hospitality Revenue Consultant with active enterprise software access to help us define our extraction parameters, execute the data pull, handle complex data cleansing, calibrate competitor pricing datasets, and model the final delivery.


Scope of Work

You will help us secure a continuous 36-month timeline (24 months historical, 12 months forward pacing) capturing the following competitor data points:
1. Competitor Room-Level Daily ADR: The most representative daily rates of 14 specific competitor properties (10 Hotels and 4 Villas).
2. CompSet Group-Level Monthly Performance: Volume-weighted ADR and Occupancy % for 2 defined competitive sets (CompSets) tracking 8 of those core hotel properties.

Because competitor pricing is highly dynamic across both past history and future pacing, and because variables shift significantly across luxury asset segments, we need an expert who knows how to properly configure extraction parameters and apply analytical calibration to the datasets so they reflect true, realistic market-clearing ADRs. We expect the consultant to suggest the optimal extraction parameters and calibration methodologies to achieve this objective.


Project Phasing & Workflow

This project will be executed in four distinct milestones:
• Phase 1 (Parameters & Methodology): A live video session to finalize our data extraction parameters and align on the post-extraction competitor data-cleansing, calibration, and structuring methodology.
• Phase 2 (Pilot & Calibration): A live video session to review a test extraction for 1 competitor and 1 CompSet. We will make real-time calibration decisions here to ensure the final output perfectly fits our business objective.
• Phase 3 (Full Data Delivery): Full database extraction, cleanup, and processing according to our agreed-upon mapping rules.
• Phase 4 (Review & Pricing Implications): A live video session to review the final delivery together, verify the models, and discuss the strategic implications of the competitive data on our own hotel's positioning and pricing plan.

Note: Full specifications, competitor lists, and exact category structures will be shared with shortlisted candidates during the interview phase prior to contract finalization.


Expected Deliverables

The final output must be delivered in clean, Excel workbooks where data integrity can be fully audited from end to end. No hardcoded numbers, manual data inputs, or unlinked text blocks are permitted within any of the processed layers.

Exercise 1: Competitor Room-Level Pricing Pipeline
• Raw Data Layers: Daily room-level competitor data extractions. Because this exercise queries diverse sources (Lighthouse Rate Insight for hotels and a luxury rental platform like PriceLabs for villas), the raw underlying structures will be different.
• Mapped Matrix: The raw daily data unified and mapped cleanly against our predefined 24-tier category matrix (based on physical layout room counts, size, water bodies, and views). This layer must be dynamically formula-linked back to the Raw Data Layers. To prevent name distortions, every pricing line item delivered must include audited columns for the original competitor room name, physical layout count (studio, 1-BR, 2-BR), and verified room size in square meters.
• Cleaned & Calibrated Model (Daily View): A finalized daily resolution version formula-linked directly to the Mapped Matrix. This is where data layers are cleaned, anomalies are suppressed, and pricing is calibrated on a daily resolution to produce the Actual Market-Clearing Gross Results (the true calibrated price paid by an average customer on any given day, rather than just public list prices).
• Cleaned & Calibrated Model (Monthly Aggregated View): A dedicated tab that dynamically rolls up the cleaned and calibrated daily room-level data into clean monthly performance averages using live formulas. This monthly view must feature parallel formula-driven models displaying the aggregated Actual Market-Clearing Gross Results alongside the Net Results (true revenue remaining after all required deductions are applied).

Exercise 2: CompSet Group-Level Performance Pipeline
• CompSet Performance Tab: A distinct spreadsheet structure tracking the monthly native group and volume-weighted Occupancy % and volume-weighted blended ADR for the 2 defined CompSets.
• Net Performance Floors: Sourced purely from native accounting ledger modules (Lighthouse Benchmark Insight), this data cannot be derived or aggregated from the Exercise 1 daily rate shopping pools. This tab must explicitly project parallel Gross Results and Net Results via active formulas linked directly back to the native module data.


Documentation

• Methodology Documentation: A brief record detailing all data manipulations, extraction parameters, cleansing steps, and the financial/industry rationale behind the adjustments.


Technical Requirements

• Required Tools: Active enterprise-level access to Lighthouse Suite (Rate Insight & Benchmark Insight), PriceLabs Market Intel (or equivalent villa data tool), and Microsoft Excel.


Timeline & Availability

• Project Duration: We expect the entire 4-phase project to take roughly 2 to 3 weeks from kickoff.
• Milestones: Exact due dates for each milestone will be mutually agreed upon during the interview process and formalized in the Upwork contract dashboard.
• Kickoff: We are looking to initiate Phase 1 as soon as the right partner is selected.
