Massimo Melis
@massimomelis
Customer Experience & Operations Manager improving guest satisfaction through multichannel support and leadership.
What I'm looking for
I’m a customer experience and operations professional with 10+ years of international experience, starting in front-line hospitality roles and progressing to General Manager of 3 restaurants. I’ve built a customer-first approach in high-volume environments, owning service standards, complaint handling, and rapid resolution on the spot.
In my current role as Property Manager—Guest Experience & Multichannel Support, I manage the full guest lifecycle remotely and in writing across Booking.com, Airbnb, email, and phone. I maintain a 9.7/10 Booking.com satisfaction rating across ~200 reviews by combining fast response times, proactive communication, and structured issue resolution. I also coordinate cleaning, maintenance, and check-in/check-out teams while ensuring SLA-driven turnaround times and quality.
Across hospitality and operations, I lead multicultural teams of 20+ through training, rota planning, and clear escalation paths that keep customer experience consistent across shifts. I’m comfortable with occasional weekend rotations, and I’m also active as a registered freelancer supporting social media consulting, content creation (Canva), and short-term rental/operations consulting for local businesses.
