The Regional Director is part of our leadership team for Operations helping to shape our organization to usher our diverse and geographically dispersed field staff to success. A day in the life of your staff might include everything from owner communications, selling Vacasa services, cleaning inspections, stocking a new home and staging it for its first guest, walking an owner through their monthly statement to completing routine maintenance or cleaning a home. You are responsible for identifying leaders, coaching and growing your team into strong general managers who can manage to KPIs and understand where better efficiency can be gained while balanced against a focus on quality. Above all else, you will be a strong leader who drives your team to create amazing owner, guest and employee experiences.

• Natural born leader: as a Regional Director, you will have a medium to large team. Your ability to lead the team in a collective and positive way is essential.
