What are the responsibilities and job description for the Owner Relations Manager position at Vacation HR?
The Owner Relations Manager is responsible for managing a dedicated portfolio of vacation rental property owners, serving as their single point of contact for everything from revenue performance to property care. Owner Relations is a trust function. The best ORMs earn trust through communication, accountability, and partnership. They serve as trusted stewards of the owner relationship, strengthen owner confidence, and drive meaningful outcomes.
People who thrive in this role are naturally curious, relationship-driven, and eager to learn — energized by building trust, solving problems, helping owners succeed, and steady in the face of challenges and difficult conversations. The strengths that make that possible:
• Ownership mentality — you hold yourself accountable for outcomes, not just effort.
• Financial and revenue acumen — you can explain a statement, a rate strategy, and market dynamics without losing an owner’s confidence.
• Adaptability — you shift your communication style fluidly across different owner personalities.
• Strong written and verbal communication — your words build trust, not confusion.
• Cross-functional accountability — you hold partners to standards and advocate for your owners.
• Competitive, results-driven mindset — you’re motivated by retention and long-term relationships.
