Partner Success Manager - 100% Remote - NAM

NOTE: This is a FULLY remote role, but the candidate must be based within North America to collaborate with their peers and customers.

Hostaway is a SaaS startup that is transforming the vacation rental industry. With innovative solutions and partnerships with giants like Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking, we're taking on the competition and winning. Leveraging our customer-centric core values, we consistently deliver results that encourage growth, learning, and innovation for our team, our customers, and the industry.

As a profitable and growing company, we are looking to hire A Partner Success Manager to own the full lifecycle of our Marketplace and Strategic Partners — from initial inquiry and qualification through onboarding, activation, and long-term success. This role is critical to ensuring partners are technically integrated, supported, and consistently driving value — both for themselves and for Hostaway.

You’ll be the primary relationship lead for a portfolio of partners, acting as their advocate internally and their strategic advisor externally. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Support, Marketing, Sales, and RevOps to ensure partners are enabled, engaged, and retained. As our ecosystem grows, this role may expand into broader partner enablement and strategic account ownership.

This role is necessitated by our continued growth. Check out more about our recent funding round of $365 million here.
