The Role
Kasa is looking to add a highly motivated individual to join our Property Operations Team to oversee a one-of-a-kind historic property in New Orleans, The Lafayette by Kasa. The Lafayette by Kasa is a new addition to the Kasa portfolio and is a storied 60-unit boutique property, originally built in 1916. As a Hotel General Manager, you will have responsibility for the on-the-ground operations of this property, including management of physical and technical challenges. You will also serve as the face of Kasa on the ground for Kasa guests, attached restaurant, and within the community.
In this role, you will work closely with Kasa's centralized Property Operations support team and Guest Experience team to make the property successful and safe for all of our guests and residents. It takes a special person to oversee this property, and we hope you're excited by the challenge!
About the Team
This role is in our Property Operations department. Our mission is to ensure our guests have a seamless experience from the time they arrive until the moment they depart. Our team members are located all over the country, have diverse backgrounds, and come from many different industries. Everyone joined Kasa because they are passionate about delivering high-quality standards to ensure that our guests love their experience while staying with Kasa.
Day in the life of a Kasa Hotel General Manager
Like many operations roles, there is no ‘typical day'. Your role will involve a wide range of activities tending to the Kasa property in your care. These activities will be a mixture of recurring property management tasks and activities requiring more urgent attention. Managing, prioritizing, and carrying out on-site tasks is crucial for this role.
You will routinely assess units and the overall building for condition and upkeep, as well as assist guests with their needs as they arise. This includes replacing broken items, coordinating with our housekeeping partners to maintain a high level of building cleanliness, and searching for potential areas for improvement. You'll need to take the initiative to identify and execute building improvements while being financially prudent. An important component of the role will be to maintain proper logs and certifications to keep the building in compliance.
During emergencies, you will be the primary party responsible for providing support for lockouts, last-minute requests, and assisting with other guest issues. As our eyes and ears on the ground, you will also work with our Trust and Safety team to implement on-site security protocols and be present at the property to personally oversee the departure of problematic guests.
Working closely with other teams at Kasa and utilizing Kasa's communications and scheduling tools will be crucial to coordinating on-the-ground operations. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a small team of other San Francisco building managers to share best practices and support each other!
