Guest Experience Manager International

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.

he Role

Kasa is looking to add a highly motivated individual to join our Guest Experience (GX) Management Team. As a GX Manager, you will oversee a team of Guest Experience Specialists focused on building a personal connection with our guests by communicating directly with them every day to resolve questions and issues as they arise. Your goal will be to successfully manage a team creating fantastic, memorable experiences for all Kasa guests.

Your goal will be to create a positive, lasting impression of Kasa so guests come back to stay with us again and again. Youll be accountable for managing a team of Specialists handling guest inquiries, resolving in-the-moment issues, coordinating with operations to ensure our apartments are always ready for guests, and taking initiative to find ways to improve guest satisfaction. Though the work is remote, weve built a Hospitality Team that is communicative, committed, and inclusive.

About The Team

Kasa is enlightened hospitality: high-end home-like apartments, and tech-enabled seamless check-ins; all at a great value relative to alternative accommodations. We enable our guests to truly settle into their Kasa while traveling. Unlike a typical hotel, our rooms are inside luxury apartment buildings and use connected devices to provide our guests with a seamless virtual check-in experience. Although our virtual front desk is not at the physical location of the apartments, we provide a more knowledgeable, attentive, and personalized experience than a traditional hotel front desk. Our team is out of sight, yet our guests are never out of mind or touch when they need us. We have Kasas all over the country and are expanding every day.

This role is in our Guest Experience department, with close ties to other operational teams. Our GX team is located remotely across the world. What GX lacks in geographic concentration, we make up for in a vibrant culture that thrives on Slack and over video. While the team has a broad set of backgrounds in hospitality, real estate, technology, and beyond, everyone joined Kasa because they are passionate about providing excellent service to our guests.
