Property Operations Lead, Part-Time

About Kasa

Kasa is the leading tech-enabled hotel and apartment hotel brand and manager. 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. Behind the scenes, we build technology that combines with our innovative operations to grow a globally scalable offering that delivers high-quality stays to guests. Our guests enjoy seamless check-ins, caring service, and attractive amenities — and if anything comes up, our on-site and remote guest experience team is available throughout their stay, ensuring our hospitality is rarely seen but always felt.

The Property Operations Lead role is an on-site facilitator of everything that the Kasa guest will experience during their stay. As a Property Operations Lead you are an important part of the East market, supporting efficient and successful operations for the Chicago market portfolio. Through regular in-person inspections, you are responsible for ensuring that all public spaces are clean, safe, and well-maintained, including common areas and individual units, to Kasa brand standards, setting the tone of the property and are ready in time for check-in.

Like many operations roles, there is no “typical day” but you will collaborate daily with Kasa teams and partners to drive results. You will identify, prioritize, and execute cost-effective property improvements aligned with Kasa brand standards. Daily tasks will consist of, but are not limited to: visiting and assessing units to complete recurring property management tasks, replacing broken items, liaising with housekeeping partners and service vendors, stocking supplies, and providing support for lockouts, last‑minute requests, and assisting with other guest issues.

A typical schedule for this role is based on business needs in your market, sometimes including nights and weekends and holidays, as we are in the hospitality industry. While you are not 'on-call 24/7' for this job, during emergencies, you will get a call and if you’re available, we compensate above state requirements to a minimum of 2 hours overtime, on defined days off or after working hours.

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.
