• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency through automation and process enhancement
• Mentoring and developing members of the finance team

You will possess:

• Fully qualified CIMA or ACCA (ACA also considered)

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the UK's most respected hospitality businesses during an exciting period of growth and evolution.

You’ll work alongside an ambitious executive team where finance is viewed as a genuine strategic partner to the business, offering significant exposure, autonomy and long-term career development.
