Description
What is HostGPO?
HostGPO is the first group purchasing organization (“GPO”) for the short-term rental industry. Over the past two years, we have acquired thousands of members who collectively manage nearly tens of thousands of vacation rental units across the United States and Canada - from AirBNBs to boutique hotels. Our members get access to our best-in-industry discounts on everything they need to furnish and stock their units (from furniture and mattresses to linens and toiletries).
Through our collective buying power, hosts with as few as 3 units, to companies with hundreds have the potential to save money, streamline their procurement processes, and provide better guest experiences. We are growing quickly and are having a huge impact on the vacation rental industry as a whole - come join our team!
While we’re based on the westside of Los Angeles, we are open to hiring remotely (within the US) for this role.
What are we looking for?
