    About Beachside VR

    Beachside Vacation Rentals is a performance-driven, technology-forward hospitality company managing a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties along Florida's Space Coast. Our focus is to deliver a consistent, high-quality guest experience while protecting owner assets and optimizing revenue through disciplined operations and smart use of technology.

    We operate with high standards, strong accountability, and a commitment to operational excellence across all departments, leveraging modern systems and automation to drive efficiency, consistency, and scalability.

    Our Core Values

    These are not posters on a wall. These are how we operate every day, and how we hire.

    • High Standards. Excellence is the baseline. We sweat the details others skip.
    • Accountability. We follow through, document clearly, and own our outcomes.
    • Operational Excellence. Disciplined execution and consistency across every task.
    • Technology-Forward. We use modern systems and automation to drive efficiency and scale.
    • Proactive, Not Reactive. We anticipate and solve problems before they reach the owner or guest.

    Position Summary

    We are seeking a driven, locally based Business Development Manager to grow Beachside VR's managed portfolio by adding new units to our inventory. This is a full-cycle sales role focused on signing property owners onto our management services — from first contact to closed agreement.
    This is a local, field-based position serving Brevard County. You'll be the face of Beachside in the community: attending local marketing events and realtor meetups, running broker lunch-and-learns, conducting property walkthroughs, and building the relationships that turn property owners into long-term clients.
    The ideal candidate is a self-starting closer who thrives on being out in the market, understands the local real estate landscape, and can clearly communicate the value of professional short-term rental management. A proactive, relationship-driven approach is essential.

    Key Responsibilities

    Full-Cycle Sales & Owner Acquisition

    • Own the full sales cycle for management services — prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and closing new owners
    • Add new units to Beachside VR's inventory to hit portfolio growth targets
    • Conduct property walkthroughs to evaluate potential units and set owner expectations
    • Clearly communicate Beachside VR's management value, pricing, and process to prospective owners

    • Represent Beachside VR at local marketing events and community functions
    • Attend local realtor meetups and build referral relationships with agents and brokers
    • Plan and run broker/realtor lunch-and-learns to generate leads and educate referral partners
    • Maintain a strong, consistent local presence throughout Brevard County

    CRM & Pipeline Management

    • Manage the CRM daily — every lead, stage, and follow-up logged and current
    • Keep a healthy, well-organized pipeline and consistent follow-up cadence
    • Track activity and report on pipeline, conversion, and units added

    Coordination & Handoff

    • Partner with operations to ensure a smooth handoff from signed agreement to onboarding
    • Set clear expectations so every new owner starts the relationship with confidence
    • Surface market feedback and trends to leadership

    Qualifications

    • 2+ years of sales experience, ideally full-cycle and relationship-driven
    • Experience in real estate, property management, short-term rentals, or a related field is a strong plus
    • Based in Brevard County, FL, with a valid driver's license and reliable transportation for local travel
    • Comfortable with public speaking and running in-person events (lunch-and-learns, meetups)
    • CRM-fluent, organized, and disciplined with follow-up
    • Self-motivated and target-driven, with the hustle to build a territory
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

    What Success Looks Like

    • Consistent growth in new units added to Beachside VR's managed inventory
    • A full, well-managed pipeline with reliable follow-up
    • Strong local presence — active at events, realtor meetups, and broker lunch-and-learns
    • Smooth handoffs from signed agreement to onboarding
    • Accurate, up-to-date CRM and clear activity reporting

    Compensation & Structure

    • Base salary of $40,000, with OTE of $90,000–$120,000
