WHO WE ARE
AvantStay delivers world class, authentic, tech-enabled short-term rental
(“STR”) group experiences targeted at the millennial generation. We are venture
funded and growing rapidly in the explosive $100+ billion dollar STR industry.
We deliver a customized end-to-end experience that is tailored just for groups
and powered with technology at every layer.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are hiring a Senior Manager of Institutional Partnerships to grow AvantStay's
portfolio of institutionally owned properties. You will own the full sales cycle
with institutional investors in residential real estate — private equity funds,
family offices, developers, SFR/STR aggregators, and asset managers —
positioning AvantStay as their management and performance partner of choice.
This is a quota-carrying, heavily incentivized role for a closer who understands
both hospitality economics and how institutional capital underwrites residential
assets. You will be based in Miami and travel up to 25% of the time across the
U.S. to meet investors, tour assets, and close deals.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
* Build a qualified pipeline of institutional property owners and allocators —
funds, family offices, developers, and investment platforms through outbound
prospecting, referrals, conferences, and your own network.
* Own the full sales cycle: sourcing, pitching, underwriting support,
negotiation, and contract close for multi-unit and portfolio-level management
agreements.
* Deliver compelling, numbers-driven proposals (revenue projections, market
analyses, and performance track records) in partnership with our revenue
management, real estate, and operations teams.
* Work with developers and new-construction partners to structure management
and licensing partnerships for purpose-built short-term rental and
hospitality-anchored residential projects.
* Synthesize market intelligence: what institutions are buying, where cap rates
are moving, and what products we should build next.
* Exceed aggressive quarterly and annual targets for units under management,
contracted revenue, and portfolio growth.
WHAT YOU BRING
* 5-8+ years of quota-carrying B2B sales or business development experience in
real estate, hospitality, proptech, or investment management
* An existing network among institutional residential investors (funds, family
offices, developers, or SFR/STR platforms) strongly preferred.
* Fluency in real estate investment fundamentals: underwriting, NOI, cap rates,
RevPAR/ADR economics, and how management fees affect asset returns.
* Consultative selling skills with the executive presence to run a room of
investment committee members, with the persistence to work a 6–12 month
enterprise deal to close.
* Strong financial modeling and proposal skills; comfort building and defending
revenue projections.
* Willingness and availability to travel up to 25% of the time within the U.S.
* Based in, or willing to relocate to, the Miami area.
* Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience; an active Florida real
estate license is a plus, not a requirement.
COMPENSATION AND LOGISTICS
* This role is built for someone who wants their compensation tied directly to
what they close. The package includes a competitive base salary plus an
uncapped commission and bonus structure driven by units signed, contracted
revenue, and portfolio growth, with accelerators for exceeding target.
On-target earnings are heavily weighted toward variable pay, and top
performers will out-earn their base substantially.
* Generous paid time off
* Generous company-sponsored insurance (medical, dental, vision, life, etc.)
* Complimentary and discounted stays at AvantStay properties
* Wellness stipend
* Cell phone stipend
