About Kasa

Kasa is the leading tech-enabled hotel and apartment hotel brand and manager. Kasa has built a hospitality operating system that fundamentally improves the profitability of hospitality assets while delivering a high quality, digitally forward experience to guests. We partner with owners of multifamily and boutique hospitality properties to deliver stylish, professionally managed accommodations to business and leisure travelers alike. We took the best that hotels and short-term rentals had to offer and created a new class of hospitality that is well-priced, reliable, and offers a large selection of great locations.

Unlike traditional hotel operators, we prioritize automation, AI-driven pricing, and data-driven decision-making to optimize revenue and improve guest experiences.

The Role

Kasa is looking to add a highly motivated individual to join our Property Operations team to oversee a one-of-a-kind property in Lake Anna, VA. As an Operations Manager, you will have responsibility for the on-the-ground operations of this property, including management of physical and technical challenges. You will also serve as the face of Kasa on the ground for Kasa guests.

In this role, you will work closely with Kasa's centralized Property Operations support team and Guest Experience team to make the property successful and safe for all of our guests and residents. It takes a special person to oversee this property, and we hope you're excited by the challenge!

About the Team

This role is in our Property Operations department. Our mission is to ensure our guests have a seamless experience from the time they arrive until the moment they depart. Our team members are located all over the country, have diverse backgrounds, and come from many different industries. Everyone joined Kasa because they are passionate about delivering high-quality standards to ensure that our guests love their experience while staying with Kasa.

Day in the life of a Kasa Operations Manager

Like many operations roles, there is no 'typical day'. Your role will involve a wide range of activities tending to the Kasa property in your care. These activities will be a mixture of recurring property management tasks and activities requiring more urgent attention. Managing, prioritizing, and carrying out on-site tasks is crucial for this role.

You will routinely assess units and the overall building for condition and upkeep, as well as assist guests and residents with their needs as they arise. This includes replacing broken items, coordinating with our housekeeping partners to maintain a high level of building cleanliness, and searching for potential areas for improvement. You'll need to take the initiative to identify and execute building improvements while being financially prudent. An important component of the role will be to maintain proper logs and certifications to keep the building in compliance.

During emergencies, you will be the primary party responsible for providing support for lockouts, last-minute requests, and assisting with other guest issues. As our eyes and ears on the ground, you will also work with our Trust and Safety team to implement on-site security protocols and be present at the property to personally oversee the departure of problematic guests.

Working closely with other teams at Kasa and utilizing Kasa's communications and scheduling tools will be crucial to coordinating on-the-ground operations. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a small team of other San Francisco building managers to share best practices and support each other!
