🌟 About Rove
Rove is a next-generation hospitality brand elevating the short-term rental experience for both guests and homeowners. We operate a portfolio of luxury homes across iconic U.S. destinations like NYC, the Hamptons, South Florida, and Aspen.

We're backed by leading investors and are growing fast — building a world-class team obsessed with quality, consistency, and hospitality at scale.

As the Property Operations Manager – Hamptons, you’ll serve as Rove’s on-the-ground presence across our portfolio of luxury homes in the region.

This is a seasonal, part-time contractor role. Expect full-time hours during the summer, and part-time, on-call work during the rest of the year — roughly 5–20 hours per week based on project needs (e.g., onboarding new homes, performing audits, preparing homes for winter, etc.).
We’re looking for someone proactive, hands-on, and hospitality-driven — ideally with prior short-term rental experience and local knowledge of the Hamptons.
