Graphic Designer (U.S. Only)

The Role

Kasa is seeking a graphic designer to bring the brand’s visual identity to life. You are right for this role if you are someone who lives and breathes visual storytelling and is able to create attractive, effective and impactful assets for print, digital, email, social and video for both B2B and B2C audiences. The role is remote (U.S.-based) on our marketing team and will report to the Head of Brand.

About the Team

Kasa’s marketing team is split into two areas—performance and brand. This role is on the brand side which is primarily focused on developing awareness of, and affinity for, Kasa’s brand. The rest of the marketing team will be frequent collaborators with the graphic designer, working with them to produce assets that differentiate us from the competition and break through to our desired audiences. The graphic designer will also collaborate frequently with the digital design team to align on visual strategy and brand guidelines, and with the real estate team to produce materials to help engage our property partners.

Day in the life of a Kasa Graphic Designer

There’s no single typical day at a young and growing company like ours, but for the graphic designer the day would include time set aside for deep, focused work (which is a critical part of the job) as well as time that would be devoted to collaboration with the digital design team and stakeholders around the company. This design work could be anything from developing and deploying a major advertising campaign to cleaning up an investor deck to make sure it is putting Kasa’s best foot forward. We believe that designers benefit from frequent conversations and collaboration with other designers, so there would be many opportunities to connect with the digital design team to discuss work in progress. The graphic designer and the Head of Brand will also stay in frequent contact with the Head of Brand seeking to triage any issues that come up and help focus the work on achieving business and brand goals.

And of course, there are the Slack groups, the many opportunities for professional development and the social opportunities that Kasa, as a remote company, provides for its employees. Our fellow Kasamigos are all over the world, and talking to them (or Slacking with them) and getting to know them can be rewarding in and of itself.

Who We Are

Kasa is building a global accommodations brand unlike any other. We took the best that hotels and short-term rentals had to offer and created a new class of hospitality that is well priced, trustworthy, and that offers a large selection of great locations. Our guests enjoy seamless check-ins, spacious apartments, and attractive amenities, helping them feel right at home. If anything comes up, our remote guest experience team is available 24/7, ensuring our hospitality is always felt, though rarely seen.

Behind the scenes, we build technology that combines with our innovative operations to grow a globally scalable offering that delivers high-quality stays. Our products and systems unlock unparalleled flexibility to operate anywhere from a few Kasa to a few hundred Kasas in any type of building, in just about any location. We currently have Kasas in over 17 states and are expanding into new markets all the time.

All of this is made possible by our team members, each of whom plays a critical role in fulfilling our vision and mission. We strive to foster a culture that values feedback, support, and collaboration throughout the organization. As a remote-first company, we work hard to bridge the gap of distance through initiatives that foster connection across Kasa. A few examples include lively All-Hands meetings, department get-togethers (online and in-person), and teamwide celebrations of important milestones. We offer benefits that encourage team members to stay at Kasa properties to experience our product firsthand and meet local team members when nearby. Guests are crucial to Kasa’s mission. Accordingly, every new Kasa team member gets trained in our Guest Experience Akademy during their onboarding.

Our team is fortunate to have diverse backgrounds, personalities, and experiences united by a commitment to excellence and passion for our industry. If Kasa’s vision and culture speak to you, and you’re up for the challenge of building a company on the cutting edge of real estate, we would love to have you on our team!
