Hours: Flexible - you set your own working pattern

About us
MCPI Hosting manages Airbnb and short-term rental properties for landlords across the UK. We handle everything from listing and pricing to guest communication and cleaning, so our landlords earn more from their properties without the hassle. We're growing fast, and we've set ourselves a clear target: 100 properties under management by 30th November 2027. The biggest thing standing between us and that goal is bringing in more of the right landlords. That's where you come in.
The role
This isn't an appointment-setting job, and it isn't a "follow the script and clock off" role either. You'll work directly with our Director to own the front end of our acquisition process - from the moment a landlord enquires to the moment they sign - and you'll have a real say in how we find and win new landlords.
Most of your pay comes from results. That means your ideas for getting better leads, increasing show-rates and more signed landlords don't just help the business - they go straight into your pocket.
If you're ambitious, love a phone call, get a buzz from hitting targets and want to help build something from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll do
Winning landlords (paid on results)
- Call new landlord enquiries within 5 minutes of them coming in - and be there when landlords are ready to talk, whether that's 10am or 7pm on WhatsApp
- Qualify or disqualify leads so only the right landlords reach a management call
- Book qualified landlords into management calls with our Director
- Nurture leads and prospects across WhatsApp, email and SMS
- Follow up leads who haven't answered or booked yet
- Follow up prospects after their management call until they sign
Running the machine (covered by your retainer)
- Pipeline management: keep CRM notes and property images up to date before calls, send and edit management agreements, and send landlords the right information after their call
- Referrers and property sourcers: build and manage relationships with referral partners and deal sourcers
- Website: a weekly update to help turn more visitors into enquiries
- Email campaigns: prepare and send our weekly landlord email campaign
- Handovers: hand signed landlords over smoothly to our Onboarding Manager
Improving how we grow
- Work with us on our Meta ads, website, referrals and email campaigns to bring in more, better-quality leads
- Spot what's working and what isn't, and bring ideas to improve show rates, lead quality and conversions
What we're looking for
- Based in the UK or South Africa
- Excellent spoken and written English, and genuinely confident on the phone with landlords and property investors
- Driven, competitive and motivated by earning more when you perform
- Takes ownership - you'd rather suggest a better way than wait to be told
- Organised enough to keep a busy pipeline tidy with nothing slipping through the cracks
- Comfortable with tools like Slack, Notion and Google Workspace (or quick to pick them up)
- Your own computer and reliable internet
Nice to have: experience in sales, lead generation, appointment setting, lettings, property or short-term rentals. Not essential - attitude and drive matter more to us than your CV.

How it works
- Fully remote, freelance / self-employed. You're responsible for your own tax and any social security contributions where you live
- Flexible hours - you choose how and when you work. Landlords don't only decide 9-5, and the best people in this role are there when a landlord is ready to sign
- Invoiced monthly, with a clear monthly breakdown of your results
- 3-month probation period with 7 days' notice, then 30 days' notice after that
Why join us
- Work directly with the Director on a fast-growing business
- Real ownership - your ideas get tested and implemented, not ignored
- Your results directly drive your earnings
- A clear, ambitious goal to be part of: 100 properties by end of November 2027
- Plenty of room to grow with the company as we scale
