Property Operations Lead

  • Hamilton, AL

Company Overview

Kasu Resorts is a luxury short-term rental portfolio operating across Florida, North Carolina, and Texas. We are a hospitality company first. The guest experience is our product, and everything we do operationally is designed to protect it.

We manage our properties so that every stay feels seamless from the first message to the last. That means maintaining our homes to a consistently high standard, anticipating operational needs, and holding ourselves and our partners accountable for keeping things running smoothly.

Every Kasu Resorts property is held to the same standard, regardless of the market. Our guests choose us for the complete experience, not just the square footage.

Position Summary

Kasu Resorts is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and hands-on Property Operations Lead to support the daily operations of our luxury short-term rental portfolio across Florida, North Carolina, and Texas.

Based in our Hamilton, Ontario office, you will work closely with the Operations Assistant team and report directly to the Director of Hospitality Operations. You will help ensure every guest receives a consistently high level of service, from the quality and timeliness of communication to the condition and readiness of each home.

This role is responsible for keeping operational processes on track, coordinating vendors and maintenance needs, auditing work for quality, and identifying and resolving issues before they negatively affect the guest experience. You will also serve as a key resource and escalation point for the Operations Assistant team.

This is not a passive oversight position. You will be expected to get into the details, ask thoughtful questions, coordinate people, review completed work, solve problems, and take ownership of both the operational outcome and the guest experience. You will also work directly alongside leadership, gaining daily visibility into how operational decisions are made across a growing hospitality portfolio.
