Luxe Market Manager (Florida & Texas)

About the Role

Maleda Tech is seeking two experienced Luxe Market Managers on behalf of a leading luxury travel platform — one focused on Florida, the Southeast, and the Caribbean, and one covering Texas and the broader Midwest/South. These are high-impact, outbound-first roles where you will own supply growth from prospecting through onboarding, while managing a portfolio of premium property hosts.
