Hiring · Phoenix Valley

We're hiring Airbnb stylists

You style short-term rentals so they photograph like somewhere worth booking — then clear them so the home is left guest-ready. $50/hour, paid weekly, about three hours on site. No photography experience needed.

The role

Set the scene. Then put it away.

Short-term rental styling is its own craft. You're not staging a house to sell — you're making a listing look like a place someone wants to spend a weekend. Empty chairs and bare tables make even a beautiful property feel flat.

What you handle
  • Setting every scene — fire pit, hot tub, dining table, loungers, grill, games. Nothing bare, nothing unstaged.
  • Bringing the fresh elements. We send you a shopping list built for that specific property and reimburse it.
  • Clearing it all afterwards so the home is guest-ready when you leave.
  • Flagging anything missing the same day, so we can fix it before it becomes a reshoot.
What we handle
  • Booking and scheduling. Jobs come to your phone with the address, time and category.
  • The shopping list for each property, built around who the listing is for.
  • A checklist you work through on your phone, so nothing gets missed on site.
  • Payment, every week, without you chasing an invoice.

You arrive about an hour after the photographer. He opens indoors and works outward, so your scenes are freshly set when the camera reaches them — fruit still fresh, ice still solid.

Estimate only, not a promise of volume. What you actually earn depends on how many shoots get booked in your part of the Valley. Projection assumes about 50 working weeks a year at $50/hour, and roughly three hours per property. Supplies for each job are reimbursed on top of your hours.

Who we're looking for

An eye for how a room reads in a photo

That matters more than anything else on this list. A towel rolled versus draped changes the whole frame.
