OneVentures Portfolio Company Jobs

Pricing & Revenue Analyst

Hometime is an empowerment platform that helps professional hosts scale their businesses. Our platform comprises software + community + deep domain expertise and has already powered the largest network of professionally managed Airbnb properties in Australia & New Zealand.

Our ambition is to become the global partner of choice for small accommodation providers: like Xero for accountants or Shopify for eCommerce - we want to be the foundation upon which they grow their business. Hometime empowers micro-entrepreneurs who deliver an exceptional experience to thousands of guests each year.

The Pricing & Revenue Management Team is a vital part of the business, supporting our ever-growing network of professional hosts. We are looking for someone that is passionate about fast-growing, technology-enabled businesses, the travel industry, and collaborating with like-minded colleagues in a remote setting. In this role, you will enjoy being part of a team of Analysts, while taking ownership for the pricing strategy performance of your own markets.
