Founder in Residence - Short-Term Rental AI

About the role

Base360.ai is building an AI operating system for short-term rental businesses, combining property management, guest communication, pricing, cleaning, maintenance, direct bookings and financial reporting. As Founder in Residence, you will not join a department but build one: you will identify a major opportunity, build a new product or business vertical, assemble a team, validate the market and grow it into a standalone business with significant revenue and impact. If successful, you will become the long-term leader of your venture.

Key responsibilities

• Identify high-potential opportunities in short-term rentals and validate customer problems through research and conversations with property managers and rental operators.
• Define the product vision, strategy and go-to-market plan.
• Work with engineering, product, design and AI teams to build and launch quickly.
• Recruit and lead your own multidisciplinary team as the venture grows.
• Own growth, product adoption, customer success and financial performance, making data-driven decisions and iterating on customer feedback.
• Present progress directly to the founders and executive team.

Required profile

• Entrepreneurial mindset with a bias toward action, strong problem-solving and product and commercial intuition.
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and leading high-performing teams; able to wear multiple hats across product, sales, marketing and operations.
• AI-native and excited about building with the latest AI technologies.
• Previous startup experience is highly valued but not required; experience in short-term rentals, hospitality or property technology is a plus.

What we offer

• A new venture built with the backing of an experienced founding team and access to engineering, AI, product, design and go-to-market resources.
• Funding, mentorship and strategic support.
• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
• Significant long-term career growth, including the chance to lead an entire business unit.
