We are looking for a proactive and highly analytical FP&A Manager to join one of the largest hospitality companies in the world. In this hands-on role, you'll lead key financial planning and analysis functions across a portfolio of Hotels, Restaurants and Spa's, within the Central and West Coast region - driving insights, improving forecasting accuracy, and supporting strategic decision-making.

• Strategic Support: Partner with hotel GMs and Finance Leaders to evaluate business performance, cost structures, and potential growth opportunities.
• Monthly & Quarterly Reporting: Prepare management reports and presentations that clearly communicate financial results, trends, and risks to senior leadership.
• CapEx & ROI Analysis: Evaluate capital expenditure projects across hotel properties and provide ROI and payback period analysis.
• System Optimization: Utilize BI tools and data platforms to automate reporting and improve visibility into financial and operational performance.
• Ad Hoc Projects: Support corporate and property-level initiatives such as market benchmarking, cost-benefit analyses, and acquisition/integration support.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field (MBA or CPA preferred)
• 3+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, preferably within the hotel or hospitality sector, or equivalent direct hospitality ops/finance experience
• Expert in financial modeling, forecasting, and data interpretation
• Strong knowledge of hospitality-specific metrics and property performance drivers
• Proficiency in Excel; experience with BI tools (Power BI), ERP (Oracle), IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) and PMS systems (e.g., Opera) a strong plus
• Ability to influence and collaborate across departments without formal authority
• Strong business acumen, attention to detail, and a solutions-oriented mindset
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate financial insights into operational strategies

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation and performance-based bonus
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
• Exposure to senior leadership and strategic projects across a dynamic hotel portfolio
• Professional development and growth opportunities
• Travel perks and hospitality discounts across our brands
