AREA DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
Reports to the General Managers, position is exempt

WHO WE ARE
Recently awarded Travel + Leisure's Top 25 Hotel Brands Worldwide. When launched in 2011, Aparium saw a clear need for a company that could bring c-suite service and accommodations to underserved yet distinct and important cities while maintaining and celebrating the unadulterated character of each. Driven by the belief that the poetics of their surroundings should fuel all hospitality experiences, Aparium was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.

WHO YOU ARE
Your career experience is eclectic and dynamic. Having grown your career from diverse operating roles into corporate or regional leadership roles within upper-upscale or luxury hotel companies, you became bored. You decided to follow your curiosity to boutique hotel and lifestyle brands within private companies. Your early experiences may not only have been in Finance, but possibly in Rooms or Food + Beverage or Sales + Marketing or something else. You are candid, articulate, and savvy in your partnership with ownership groups and are adaptable in how you engage with a variety of stakeholders.

For you to feel comfortable within our portfolio, you will have familiarity with secondary markets and recognize that hospitality differs from city to city and even from neighborhood to neighborhood. You are comfortable with casual sophistication and realize the concept of luxury has evolved to be approachable and not cookie-cutter. You are adventurous in your backyard and are known to have your pulse on your city and are a ready participant within your community. You get excited about the newest restaurant opening, amenity packaging, a guest service story created by an employee's intuition and not a standard, a new service concept, and get goosebumps when one of your direct reports gets promoted.

THE ROLE
The Area Director of Finance reports to the hotel's General Managers and ensures execution of hotel financial obligations. The person in this position must be tactical and strategic; if someone only prefers to "see the forest" and not "plant the trees," then this is not the role for them. All leaders of Aparium are required to get down and dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is repaired. Aparium is a young company in hyper-growth, so having the ability to be a soldier is as critical as being a general.

The Area Director of Finance provides strategic leadership, functional guidance, and valuable insights to operations leaders, partners, Executive Committees and Department Heads for optimal business decisions for hotels within their area; Interacts with the ownership group, asset managers, hotel legal counsel, insurance companies, tax consultants, auditors, commercial and government banks to control the assets of the business effectively. The role is an interdependent part of the property leadership teams. The Area Director of Finance will be a highly motivated team player with a background in finance, accounting, and business operations and extensive experience in the hospitality industry. The position will oversee Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis, MN as well as another property within the Aparium portfolio.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
  • Uphold and model the company's principles of People, Place, and Character; and ensure direct reports are also modeling the way of our values that drive collaboration, intuition, and translocal hospitality

  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, including property owners, lenders, and investors
  • Hire, train, and manage multiple onsite teams of finance professionals to ensure that all financial operations are carried out effectively and efficiently

HOW YOU WILL LEAD
  • Engage others in general conversation; leading and adapting communication and presentation tactics to engage your audience; displaying adaptable interpersonal skills for a wide range of audiences and stakeholders
  • Approach fact-finding and discovery missions in a collaborative effort; valuing input and experiences of others that creates additional insight to uncover deeper issues that may need to be addressed or removed as a barrier to implementation
  • Value the importance of making decisions with integrity, maintaining confidentiality across internal workgroups, and knowing how to use discretion when appropriate; knows how to keep a secret by understanding the difference between transparency and confidentiality
  • Demonstrate highly analytical thoughts and recommendations, although never acting like the smartest person in the room; and continually seeking out the facts; able to express a point of view without being driven by your ego
  • Demonstrate business acumen and practice sound financial decisions by ensuring the actions and plans put into place support the achievement of sales goals and budgets
  • Demonstrate the ability to identify strategic needs yet can be a "soldier" to ensure a strategic plan is implemented


WHAT YOU WILL NEED
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or Hospitality; Master's degree preferred
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in finance, accounting, or business operations, with at least 5 years of experience in the hospitality industry
