People First (Always!)

• Be a true Atlas role model - living our values and spreading the mission.
• Set clear financial controls across our hotel teams and support them to ensure they stick to them.
• Coach, train and develop others - creating a learning culture where finance doesn't feel scary.
• Work with the Operations Effectiveness Manager to roll out training, SOPs and improvements that last.
• Build action plans when things aren't quite right, and help and support hotels get back on track fast.
• Make sure financial controls evolve alongside our fast-moving business.

Communications Champion

• Be the link between Leicester and our hotels - keeping conversations clear, collaborative and helpful.
• Make sure key messages land well and feedback flows both ways.

Guest Focus

• Engage with our Accounts Receivable customers - helping close out debts and supporting Hotel Managers to manage aged accounts.
• Liaise with OTAs and booking partners to keep commission bookings accurate and in-check, while working alongside finance team colleagues to accurately record commission costs.
• Keep an eye on brand standards and build up a good awareness to optimise performance from our partnerships.

Investor & Insight

• Provide smart reporting and insight around debt and risk - and work across teams to drive results.
• Track corrections and refunds, making sure everything's accurate and appropriate.
• Share coaching and insight to ensure we're protecting our revenue and improving constantly.

Compliance is Key

• Audit our hotels and make sure our financial procedures are being followed.
• Work with the wider finance team to support on both external and internal audits.

And Finally...

• Be flexible, pitch in when needed, and take on other reasonable tasks.

What do we want from you?

• Experience in a multi-site hospitality business
• Experience of working within or as a business partner to the Finance function
• Experience of designing, implementing and monitoring financial controls and processes
• Able to demonstrate achievement of objectives through others
• Ability to demonstrate a curious nature and leverage teams to optimise outcomes
• Creates trust through an open and transparent style
• Collaborative, working across teams to ensure objectives are met
• Strong coaching and mentoring ability
• Articulate and communicative across all levels
• Organised, systematic, logical and can deep dive into a problem and investigate issues

Why Atlas?

Because we do things differently. We believe in freedom with support, high standards with a human touch, and in building careers - not just filling jobs. You'll have real impact, visibility across the business, and the chance to shape how finance works in a growing hotel group.
