Licensing and Compliance Specialist (Remote, Honduras)

Licensing & Compliance Specialist

Stay’d | Vacation Rental Collective

Company Overview

Stay’d is a rapidly growing vacation rental collective built to redefine hospitality at scale. We bring together high-performing local brands under one umbrella, combining best-in-class operations, design, and revenue management to create standout guest experiences and stronger returns for homeowners.

With thousands of properties spanning multiple markets, Stay’d is building a scalable platform designed to unify brands, systems, and performance while maintaining a high-touch, locally driven experience.

We’re not a marketplace—we’re operators. And we’re building something meant to last.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a detail-oriented Licensing & Compliance Specialist to own the short-term rental permitting and onboarding process across our growing portfolio.

This is not a data entry role — it’s an ownership role. You will be the person who makes sure every property we bring on is legally compliant, properly licensed, and ready to generate revenue without interruption.

You will be responsible for managing the full licensing lifecycle across multiple markets, including:

STR permit acquisition and renewal

Municipal compliance tracking

New property onboarding coordination

We operate with urgency and precision. Our culture is built around three core values:

Solutions Oriented – you solve problems, not point them out

Move Fast – you operate with urgency and bias toward action

No Ego – you collaborate, take feedback, and prioritize the team over individual credit

What You’ll Own

STR Licensing & Permitting

• Research and manage short-term rental licensing requirements across all active and target markets

  Submit permit applications, renewals, and any required documentation on behalf of property owners

  Track permit statuses, expiration dates, and renewal deadlines to ensure zero lapses in compliance

  Communicate with local municipalities, licensing offices, and HOAs as needed

Property Onboarding

• Coordinate the compliance side of new property onboarding from signed agreement to live listing

  Ensure all required licenses, registrations, and tax IDs are obtained before a property goes live

  Work cross-functionally with operations and revenue teams to keep onboarding timelines on track

  Maintain accurate onboarding records and status updates across all active properties

Compliance Monitoring & Tracking

• Build and maintain a compliance tracker covering all properties and markets

  Monitor regulatory changes in key markets and flag any risks or required action

  Ensure all properties remain in good standing with local STR regulations on an ongoing basis

  Create SOPs and documentation for compliance processes as we scale into new markets

Reporting & Communication

• Provide regular status updates on licensing pipeline and onboarding progress

  Flag issues proactively — expired permits, denied applications, regulatory changes

  Maintain organized records and documentation for all active and pending licenses

  What We’re Looking For

  • Experience in STR licensing, property management, real estate administration, or a related field

    Strong attention to detail — you catch what others miss and nothing falls through the cracks

    Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple properties and markets simultaneously

    Comfortable researching municipal regulations independently and navigating government portals

    Proactive communicator who keeps stakeholders informed without being asked

    Tech-savvy — comfortable working in Google Sheets, project management tools, and CRMs

    Someone who embodies our core values: Solutions Oriented, Move Fast, No Ego

    Experience with short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, VRBO, etc.) is a strong plus

    Role Details

    • Location: Fully Remote - Honduras

      Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM EST

      Compensation: $1,200/month

      • Be part of a high-growth hospitality company operating across multiple markets

        Direct impact on how fast we can scale and bring properties online

        High-ownership role with room to grow as the company expands

        Work alongside a team that moves fast and values results over process
