The Role
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 affordable, trustworthy, and conveniently located. In this fast-paced role as Real Estate Analyst you will be instrumental in helping Kasa continue to expand its footprint in the United States and beyond. In this position, you will be tasked with underwriting new real estate opportunities with a focus on hospitality partnerships and acquisitions, creating pitch deck materials, and providing leverage to help support the real estate growth team with new opportunities within hospitality and multifamily assets. This is a rare opportunity to join a groundbreaking team that directly impacts the company's growth and footprint. We are recruiting for a remote position, with the understanding that you will periodically travel for meetings to our New York HQ.
As a Real Estate Analyst, you will report to the Senior Director, Real Estate and support the deal team.

Day in the Life of a Kasa Real Estate Analyst
In this role, every day can be different depending on the business needs. Much of your time will be spent underwriting prospective deals, researching new markets, and drafting term sheets. We will count on you to help write internal deal memorandums, assemble pitch decks, and provide leverage to the team throughout each stage of the deal pipeline.
We're a collaborative team and company, so you will get to work cross-functionally with finance, legal, and operations to push deals through to closing.
