Manager, Building System & Security

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.

You will guide security operations, manage vendor relationships, coordinate service setup during property transitions, and drive cost-efficient utility and connectivity solutions at scale.

You will report to the Associate Director of Hospitality Operations and support on-site portfolio teams nationwide.

This role sits within the broader Hospitality Operations team, which delivers outsized impact on Kasa’s success by ensuring safety, reliability, and operational resilience. We are passionate about protecting our community, enabling seamless property operations, and delivering reliable systems that enhance both guest and team member experiences.
