We're Houst: A professional management service for properties. Our mission is to make hosting on websites hassle-free for everyone using technology to disrupt the short-term accommodation sector. We've grown fast. Since launching in 2015, we've partnered with thousands of happy hosts, helping them to make important earnings. The business has now expanded worldwide – we're operating in over 20 cities globally, from Auckland to Lisbon, and there's a lot more to come. From holidaymakers to full-time landlords, host happiness is central to everything we do.
About the role: We're looking for an energetic Organic Marketing Assistant to join our team. You will be responsible for developing and executing strategies to drive organic customer acquisition, retention, and revenue growth across various geographic markets (e.g. London, Paris, Sydney), for both of Houst's business models (i.e. our direct Airbnb management service and our franchise partnership).
As such, we're looking for someone passionate about organic marketing, able to ideate bold experiments, design and implement test campaigns, as well as rigorously measure and report back on their results.
Our ideal candidate will have some prior experience in a multi-product B2C or B2B digital marketing role (e.g. SEO, CRM, Content Marketing, Social, UGC, Referrals) and a keen interest of applying their skillset in the booming world of Airbnb-ing.

You will also work closely with the sales, partnerships and product team, and other stakeholders to experiment with initiatives aimed at accelerating Houst's growth and commercial success.
So if you're excited about any of these and have a proactive, can-do attitude, you'll thrive in this role!
