Date: 3 weeks ago
City: Riyadh
Contract type: Full time

Delivering Truly Memorable Experiences Starts With Smart Financial Leadership.
As Director of Finance & Business Support, you’ll be at the heart of our hotel’s success – ensuring that every decision we make is backed by financial insight, operational efficiency, and a clear business strategy. We’re looking for a detail-oriented leader who can balance the books while inspiring people and driving commercial performance.
A little taste of your day-to-day:
No two days are quite the same, but you’ll mostly be:
Partnering with the General Manager and department heads to develop financial plans and business strategies
Overseeing budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes to ensure alignment with business goals
Leading the finance team, ensuring accuracy in financial reporting, audits, and compliance
Identifying cost-saving opportunities and revenue-enhancing initiatives
Supporting operational decision-making with robust financial analysis and insight
Ensuring that internal controls and procedures are in place and effective
Driving a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement across the business
What we need from you:
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Finance, Accounting, or a related field
Professional accounting qualification (e.g., CPA, CA, ACCA) preferred
A minimum of five years of financial management experience, ideally in hospitality or a related industry
Strong understanding of hotel operations and financial systems
Proven ability to lead a team and influence cross-functional stakeholders
Excellent communication skills and fluency in English; other languages a plus
What you can expect from us:
We offer more than just a job – we give our people the tools and support to thrive. From competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package to a collaborative culture where every voice is heard. You’ll also enjoy exclusive hotel discounts, learning and development opportunities, and wellness programs that help you feel your best – at work and at home.
At IHG, we believe in celebrating difference and creating inclusive teams where everyone can be their authentic selves. We’re committed to equal opportunities for all and strive to build a culture of respect, trust, and belonging.
Join Crowne Plaza one of the largest and best loved premium hotel brands in the world. With more than 420 hotels in diverse locations globally Crowne Plaza is the perfect base to connect on business, pleasure or a blend of both. We've thoughtfully designed our spaces to encourage, support and celebrate great connections. We're also big on meetings and events, a trusted and valued partner for connecting both domestic and global groups alike.
Our branded service style 'Dare to Connect' is crafted for connection. Designed for humans not nameless guests or colleagues. Still professional but touches guests on an emotional level. Where colleagues take their initiative and use their personality because they make a crucial difference in the guest's experience. The role of every colleague at Crowne Plaza is to create memorable emotional connections and the job of every leader is to create an environment where that can happen.
Don't quite meet every single requirement, but still believe you'd be a great fit for the job? We'll never know unless you hit the 'Apply' button. Start your journey with us today.
