Impact Junior · Seoul

Impact Junior

A team of under ten runs eight products and a hotel of its own. Work that belongs to no particular function, and that nobody is holding, appears as a matter of course. This role finds those gaps first and fills them. Instead of receiving a list of duties, you decide for yourself what is currently missing.

About VACATIO

For those who want a fine life

How do you define a fine life? For Team VACATIO, it’s a life lived in earnest.

We Make Life a Journey

So we make life as exciting as travel, and travel as easy as life.

Vacatio Solution

An AI all-in-one PMS that takes a host from booking to settlement in one tool. It comes in two editions: unattended solo operation, and multi-staff operation.

Channel manager & AI dynamic pricing

Holds one inventory across many sales channels without overbooking, and recomputes the rate on top of it every day.

Hardware — locks, kiosks, AI response

Smart locks and room controllers, self check-in kiosks, and call-and-text AI all move on the same flow as the booking data.

FineStay

The app where travelers find boutique stays and book them outright, with no inquiry.

VACATIO Hotel Samseong

A hotel we run ourselves — the living lab where we prove what we build alongside real guests. It opens formally in October 2026.

Through these products we change countless moments every day. We now process over ₩50B in transaction volume a year, thousands of properties run on our service, we have raised ₩6B, and we have stayed operationally profitable for two consecutive years. Investors and the industry pay attention — but what we’re actually proud of is the people on this team.

Our dream is to beat Airbnb. We want to do it with people who carry big, romantic dreams.

What you'll do

  • Find and pick up the work that belongs fully to no function — marketing, product, sales, support.
  • Collect the voice of the customer, sort it by type, and carry it through to improvements.
  • Spot the operating problems that keep recurring at properties using Vacatio Solution, and hand them to the right team.
  • Tidy scattered data and documents into something the next person can use straight away.
  • Reach meaningful decisions with the team, through open conversation.

What we look for

  • You have experience and a story that are your own.
  • You adapt fast and learn fast in a demanding environment.
  • You want to throw yourself at something completely, and haven’t yet found what.
  • You get it done — one way or another, you make it work.
  • When several things land at once, you can judge which one to let go of first.
  • You recognize the work nobody will do unless you do it, and you raise your hand first.
  • You don’t stop at the task you were handed; you think for yourself and go for the best possible outcome.

People first, role second

The work and requirements above matter, of course. But before the role, we are people — and we are looking for teammates who can run in step with us. People first, role second.

Listing out specialties often makes us self-conscious — what we thought was our edge frequently turns out to be an edge in one particular environment only. So we look less at who ticks the boxes and more at who we can be with for the long run.

Honestly, this is not a team that is only comfortable. The direction changes often and there is a lot of work. We do not take that for granted, so we try hard to reward contribution as it comes. What carried us through the chaotic stretches, in the end, was trust in each other.
