Area Sales Manager - South

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 Area Sales Manager will report to the Associate Director of Sales and work closely with the Revenue Management, Reservations, and Operations teams. This individual will be laser-focused on prospecting group and preferred corporate leads.

Like any role at a fast-paced startup, there is no 'typical day', but you will be responsible for the execution of a sales strategy for Kasa's portfolio in a defined area, targeting all market segments, including leisure travel, corporate preferred, groups, and others. An exciting part of this is being instrumental in changing the way corporate and group travelers view the flexible accommodations space.

If you are looking to be instrumental in changing the way leisure, corporate and group travelers view the flexible accommodations space - this is the role for you!

We're building a tech-enabled global hospitality brand that unleashes the potential of liveable space. Hospitality is at the core of who we are, and we are committed to providing our teams the same care we give our guests, neighbors, and partners.
