Hotel General Manager

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.

The Role

As a Hotel General Manager (GM) at Kasa, you will be fully responsible for the operational and financial performance of a unique 91-room hotel property in Hillsboro Beach, FL. This is a 100% onsite role requiring a hands-on leader with strong operational expertise, direct accountability for property-level P&L, and the ability to balance exceptional guest experience with ownership expectations.

At Kasa, hospitality is at the core of everything we do. As a GM, you will directly lead property-level teams and vendors, set expectations, inspect what you expect, and ensure every guest interaction meets Kasa’s high service standards. In addition to leading day-to-day operations, you will play a critical role in financial oversight, aligning the property with revenue optimization strategies, cost control initiatives, and local market dynamics. You will work cross-functionally with Kasa’s centralized teams—including Revenue Management, Finance, and Guest Experience—to ensure alignment between operational decisions and broader business goals. You will serve as the primary liaison between Kasa and the property partner, communicating performance insights and forward-looking strategies to optimize asset value.

This role demands both operational rigor and strategic focus to ensure the property consistently delivers outstanding guest reviews, strong financial performance, and long-term asset value.
