Task Force Manager
About the role
This is a market coverage and operations role. As a Task Force Manager, you will deploy into Landing markets across the US — wherever the business needs you — and step in as the sole operator when a General Manager is on leave. That means owning the full market: member experience, property relationships, housekeeping and maintenance coordination, unit quality, and performance reporting. You will cover operations for one to three weeks at a time, maintain key account relationships, and hand markets back off cleanly when the assignment ends.
Responsibilities
- Own the full market: member experience, property relationships, vendor coordination, and maintenance escalations
- Support tickets and communications across all channels
- Liaison with property management teams to resolve maintenance requests, address member concerns, and execute new leases
- Maintain key account relationships
- Coordinate and install new Landing homes within assigned markets
- Ensure every home meets Landing standards before move-in
- Build trust quickly with people you've just met
- Coordinate and execute VIP guest bookings
- Smooth handoff coordination with the AGM and Hub Manager at the start and end of every assignment
- Auxiliary training responsibilities when not actively on assignment
Requirements
2+ years of background in hotel operations, short-term rental management, or high-volume hospitality — you know how to operate when members don't wait
Experience running a market, property, or operation with real autonomy — not just executing someone else's playbook
Bias for action — when things go sideways, you move toward the problem, not away from it
Strong organizational skills and follow-through — you're managing multiple properties, tickets, and relationships simultaneously across markets you didn't build
Triage under pressure — three things are urgent at once, you know which one to move on first
Comfort with ambiguity and travel — 80% travel is required, and the assignment always comes with surprises
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills — you build credibility fast with people at all levels
Qualifications
Candidates based in Chicago are strongly preferred given proximity to major airports and ease of access to Landing's remote markets
