Direct message the job poster from The Hoxton
We can’t wait to open our first UK hotel outside of London…and where better than the characterful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We are now looking for an experienced Director of Finance to join our team and play a crucial part in successfully launching our brand in this new neighbourhood. Reporting to the General Manager and with a dotted line to the VP of Finance, you’ll be responsible to ensure that we meet compliance and regulatory standards, monitor and manage accounts, be responsible for the financial reporting for our hotel, as well as lead, mentor and develop the team, creating an environment where they can be themselves and can feel the value they’re adding.
The Hox in Edinburgh will boast 214 bedrooms influenced by the Georgian heritage of the building and city (including the introduction of a new room category for the Hox), a main restaurant and big lobby & bar, a large event space and The Apartment - our unique meetings and events concept.
More about us...
The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

* 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
