Activation is where planning meets reality. This is the function that turns a physical building into a live, bookable Zolo home.

Role Overview – Why This Role Matters

Activations Manager

This is a hands-on, on-site role. You will work closely with vendors, workers, and internal teams to fix issues, close gaps, and deliver a ready property—on time.

If you enjoy being on the field, solving real problems, and seeing visible results of your work, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do (Day-to-Day Impact)

• Own end-to-end activation of new properties before go-live
• Plan daily tasks to prepare rooms, utilities, furniture, and common areas
• Be present on-site to supervise vendors and workers
• Identify snags (defects, incomplete work) and get them fixed quickly
• Coordinate with Ops, Leasing, IT, and other teams for readiness
• Conduct final quality and safety checks before launch
• Ensure the property is fully ready for Day-1 bookings
• Hand over a live, customer-ready property to operations

Skills You’ll Build in This Role

• Strong on-ground execution and site ownership
• Sharp quality eye for room and common-area readiness
• Vendor and worker management skills
• Practical understanding of electrical, plumbing, and carpentry basics
• Ability to plan work under tight timelines
• Confidence in handling last-minute issues without panic
• Clear communication with both workers and office teams

Who Will Thrive in This Role

• You notice small issues before customers do
• You prefer being on-site rather than sitting in an office
• You take full responsibility for outcomes—good or bad
• You are street-smart and solve problems quickly
• You give clear instructions and follow up till work is done
• You enjoy action, ownership, and visible results

Who Can Apply

Education (Go / No-Go):

• ITI / Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil (mandatory with experience)
• Diploma or Engineering (BE / B.Tech) in Mechanical, Electrical, or Civil preferred
• Other degrees can be considered if on-ground activation experience is strong

Experience & Skills:

• 3+ years in property activation, site execution, fit-outs, or pre-opening roles
• Hands-on experience managing on-site workers and vendors
• Ability to identify and close snags before go-live
• Basic troubleshooting knowledge of lights, taps, locks, furniture
• Experience in Co-Living, Hotels, Fit-Outs, Facilities, or Real Estate preferred

What’s in It for You

• End-to-end ownership of property launches
• High-visibility role with clear impact from Day 1
• Fast learning through real on-ground challenges
• Clear growth path:
• Activations Manager → Senior Activations → City Operations → Leadership roles
• A role where strong performers grow quickly as Zolo scales

If you want a role where ideas turn into real, live properties—and where your work is visible every single day—this is worth exploring.
