Job Description

What's in it for you...

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Competitive salary.
• 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance.
• Food on us during your shift.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Hox Hero and Nifty Fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
• Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a go/od time!
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

What you’ll do…

• Play a vital role in the month end processes for the hotel, ensuring that the hotel closes the books on time and accurately each and every month, with every team member contributing in their own way.
• Oversee the financial day-to-day for the hotel, ranging from processing and managing revenues to sales ledger processing – all of this whilst working closely with Director of Finance and the team. We focus on matching roles to individual strengths and experience, giving everyone the chance to grow and make a real impact.
• Support our People & Culture team with payroll submissions and processing, making sure our people are paid accurately and on time.
• Oversee our financial processes, keeping an eye on how we can improve ways of working.
• Participate in monthly reporting, taking on our month-end process that may incorporate P&Ls, balance sheet (including reconciliation) and cashflow.
• Make sure that we keep on the right track with finance policies & procedures.
• Support your business partners in their finance activities.
• Play a crucial role in making sure the hotel finances run efficiently and smoothly, without creating obstacles or compromising our overall goal of providing a fantastic guest experience.

What we’re looking for…

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• Previous experience in hotels is preferred but not mandatory – it’s all about how you contribute to the team! We can teach you everything you need to know about the world of hotel finance. What really matters is your drive to succeed and the tenacity to push through to the finish line.
• You love a good spreadsheet and know your way around payroll. You're all about the details, making sure every penny adds up and our people get paid correctly and on time.
• Understanding of the basic accounting functions.
• Strong analytical and numerical skills.
• Ability to analyse P&L statements, apply timeliness and accuracy in recording and reporting.
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines.
• Someone with a hands-on, outgoing, pro-active approach; taking personal responsibility and initiative to prevent or resolve problems.
• A balance between a methodical and process-driven approach and flexibility and creativity when it comes to meeting deadlines and finding solutions.
• You like detail, a lot of detail!
• A confident communicator, who can ‘translate’ financial information to non-finance people.
