Senior Vice President of Operations

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.

Location : Remote (U.S. based)

Team : Operations

Reports to : CEO

About the Role

As Senior Vice President of Operations, you will lead the operational performance and guest experience across Kasa's fast-growing portfolio of 85+ properties across the U.S., with aspirations to expand globally. This executive role is crucial to Kasa's success and will directly report to the CEO and interface with the Board of Directors. The SVP will oversee both our regional operations model (East, South, West) and centralized operational systems, bringing together strategy, people, technology, and on-site execution to drive guest satisfaction, operational excellence, and property-level profitability.

Our regional operations model empowers P&L Owners - Kasa's version of GMs - with full ownership of performance at the property level. They leverage centralized Kasa services (e.g., AI-driven guest support, revenue management, owner reporting, and repair coordination) to maximize outcomes. Your role is to ensure the operating model delivers exceptional results, regardless of whether the solution is centralized, decentralized, or hybrid. That means putting the right talent in place, deploying effective playbooks, and maintaining clear accountability to drive consistent, high-performance outcomes.

This is a hands-on role. You'll be on-site often, walking properties, working alongside teams, evaluating spaces, and diagnosing what's working and what isn't. You'll need to combine strong instincts with data, the wisdom of legacy hospitality with an embrace of technology and AI.

Your Impact

Portfolio Performance & Guest Experience

  • Drive operational performance across Kasa's 85+ properties, scaling to 200+ and beyond.
  • Set and execute property level business plans to deliver aggressive goals around Net Operating Income (NOI), guest review scores, and owner satisfaction.
  • Uplevel the on-site experience- visually, functionally, and culturally - so our properties deliver an end to end customer promise that is both recognizable and beloved.
  • Own quality assurance across the portfolio, ensuring excellence in cleanliness, repair response, check-in readiness, and physical maintenance.
  • Use data to identify and address the root causes of both systemic and local issues, distinguishing between one-off problems and broader patterns.
  • Train regional and property-level teams to adopt the same analytical mindset, and leverage data not just for diagnostics, but to track, measure, and report on improvements over time.

Team & Talent Leadership

  • Hire, develop, and inspire a high-performing on-site operations team across three U.S. regions, with 10+ P&L Owners, and 170+ total team members and growing.
  • Build and deploy rigorous training programs to onboard, upskill, and assess on-property talent.
  • Create systems to evaluate talent, identify underperformance early, and drive continuous improvement across every level of the on-site org.
  • Instill a culture of performance, integrity, and Fearless Feedback that permeates every Kasa property.
  • Systems Thinking & Central Operations

  • Oversee Kasa's centralized operations functions (e.g., centralized housekeeping, maintenance coordination, customer service systems, People Ops, root cause analysis) to ensure consistency and leverage at scale.
  • Drive innovation in operational systems, including partnering with our Tech & Product org to implement AI-powered tools that reduce cost and increase speed and accuracy.
  • Translate qualitative property feedback into quantitative system upgrades and vice versa.
  • Make Root Cause-level improvements to the operating system : not just treating symptoms, but addressing core issues in ways that drive lasting, systematic progress. Build and evolve a system that is scalable, self-sustaining, and continuously improving.
  • On-Site-First Leadership

  • Spend significant time on the ground across the country. Your default work environment should be a Kasa property, whether it's speaking to a housekeeper, inspecting a repair job, or helping train a new P&L Owner.
  • A core challenge of this role is the ability to zoom in to understand day-to-day realities at the property level, while also zooming out to architect and continuously improve the systems that drive performance across the entire portfolio in a scalable, enduring way.
  • Own and evaluate the physical environment of our properties. Have the instincts and taste to know what "good looks like" from a guest's point of view, and talent point of view and the operational skills to make it happen.
  • Understand and activate non-room revenue strategies (e.g., caf, retail, F&B, and event space) where applicable.
  • Executive Partnership & Strategy

  • Act as the voice of on-site operations in company-wide strategy discussions.
  • Play an active, vocal role in our Monthly Business Reviews for on-site operations, challenging teams to come prepared with solutions to key issues and holding them accountable to clear deliverables and timelines.
  • Partner with Product, Technology and AI teams to ensure Kasa's technology is a force multiplier for the front lines, not just the back office.
  • Support the CEO and Real Estate team in building long-term trust with our owner community.
  • Drive strategic alignment across regions while enabling local flexibility and experimentation, fostering an evolutionary component to our operating system where high-performing local innovations are identified, scaled, and embedded across the broader portfolio.
  • Success in this Role

  • Year 1 Key Outcomes

  • Achieve material increase in Operating Profit across our properties.
  • Improve Kasa's guest review scores and reputation metrics portfolio-wide.
  • Uplevel the performance of regional and property-level teams by enhancing training, coaching high-potential talent, and decisively parting ways with underperformers, ultimately reducing performance variance across the portfolio and building a high-accountability, high-impact operating culture.
  • Identify and implement organizational structure adjustments across regional and property-level operations that improve accountability, increase local autonomy, and strengthen our operating system to ensure we are structurally set up for scalable success.
