Kasa Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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.

Location: This is a full-time, on-site position based at Stile in Downtown Los Angeles.

Kasa offers flexible accommodations for guests in dozens of markets nationwide. We partner with multifamily and hospitality property owners to offer various unit types in our portfolio, including short-term rental apartments and traditional hotel rooms across price and luxury tiers. The Director of Sales will report to the Portfolio General Manager and lead the Regional Sales Manager, Sales Managers, Revenue Management, Reservations, and Operations teams in a highly collaborative, performance-driven environment. This leader will architect, adapt, and optimize the end-to-end sales motion for a boutique hotel context, with a special focus on creative process design, high-impact partnerships, and profitable growth across segments.

This role is centered on STILE Downtown LA by Kasa as the core property, with direct accountability for shaping its commercial strategy and voice in the Los Angeles market. Beyond STILE, the Director will influence how Kasa as an organization leverages our technology, data, and distribution to become the premier group and corporate stay option for clients across our portfolio.

Like any role at a fast-paced start-up, there is no 'typical day', but you will be responsible for owning the sales strategy and execution plan for Kasa's portfolio in a defined area, targeting all market segments including leisure travel, corporate preferred, Business Transient (BT), groups, and SMERF. You will set clear goals, build scalable playbooks, and enable the team to outperform through coaching, systems thinking, and experimentation. An exciting part of this role is leading the way in how corporate and group travelers view the flexible accommodations space—positioning our boutique product as a distinctive, trusted choice.

If you are energized by building and evolving sales engines, leading teams, and shaping market perception for an innovative hospitality brand—this is the role for you!

We're building a tech-enabled global hospitality brand that unleashes the potential of livable 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.
