Evolve is a hospitality company with a mission to make renting a vacation home easy for both property owners and guests. Thanks to an unapologetic passion for hospitality, we now support over 14,000 properties in over 700 markets across North America. We enjoy earning each guest and owner's business - all while having some fun along the way.

Why This Role:

While the pandemic has impacted many hospitality companies around the world, we feel grateful that demand for vacation rentals has never been higher. Evolve properties continue to see a record-breaking volume of bookings and we’re on track for a banner year. As a Guest Experience Specialist, you will respond to questions and take action to assist Guests through calls, live chats, and emails. We're looking for those who thrive on helping others to join our teams and provide best in class hospitality experiences. This role requires strong communication skills (especially over the phone), an empathetic nature, and a high degree of self-awareness.

We offer a range of opportunities to learn and grow your career at Evolve. Evolve is revolutionizing the vacation rental space and our Guest experience team is at the heart of that plan. You'll have lots of opportunity and support to make a big impact on the success of the company!

We're preparing for the busy summer season and hiring teammates to join our May 19th training class!

What You'll Do:

• Provide an exceptional customer experience, using genuine kindness and professionalism
• Assist Guests in times of need to make things right; utilize emotional intelligence and problem-solving skills to work towards effective solutions (not easy answers)
• Collaborate with Evolvers across teams to provide timely solutions that support both guests and homeowners
• Field calls, live chats and emails from Guests in a swift and professional manner
• Help Guests navigate their stay and access all the information they need
• Work across multiple booking platforms (such as Airbnb & Vrbo) to secure and adjust reservations
• Document all activities in the company's CRM (Salesforce.com)

What Makes You A Great Fit:

• Team player: you thrive in a collaborative and fluid environment with rapidly changing priorities
• Hospitality mindset: you have a passion for the customer experience and a genuine desire to want to help others; you’ll always go the extra mile to make sure the job gets done right
• Self-awareness: you understand your strengths, limitations, and emotions (and how they impact others) with an ability to manage them in stressful situations
• Self-leadership: you are resilient, emotionally balanced, and self-motivated to thrive
• Relationship building: you’re a compelling communicator who can put others at ease, build trust, and develop connections; previous experience interacting with customers over the phone a plus
• Empathy: you understand other perspectives, listen effectively to recognize and exceed the needs of every stakeholder
• Active-listening: you can make others feel heard by patiently listening to them to understand, not to reply
• A quick study in any software environment (Salesforce.com experience a plus!)
• Hospitality industry experience preferred, but not required
• Our hours are 7 am - 9 pm, 7 days a week, and holidays. You will work 5 shifts a week that can vary in start and end time, and will include some nights and a minimum of one weekend day work. Flexibility is required.

Location: 

While we are all currently working from home until at least July, our goal is to eventually return to our beautiful Denver office and collaborate in person.
