TREEHOUSE ADELAIDE (part of the Starwood family) - Pre Opening-Opening Crew
Treehouse Hotels are modern, nostalgic, playful, and planet-kind—grown-up hideaways that spark childhood wonder while caring gently for the Earth. Treehouse Adelaide will be our very first perch in Australia: sun-splashed terraces, reclaimed timbers, kookaburra wake-up calls, and neighbours who share our zest for good times and green living.
Before guests climb the rope ladder and shout "I'm home", we need a financial storyteller who can sketch the numbers, carve the controls, and keep our eco-dream leafy and lucrative. Ready to balance sheets—and swing from them? Read on.
Your mission (should you choose to climb)
* Grow the business - Hit our opening-year canopy. Champion revenue and profit targets in tandem with sales, marketing, and revenue-management pals.
* Guard the sap flow - Direct working capital, cash-flow, and capex so every dollar nurtures value and mitigates risk.
Lead the forest's finances
* Strategic sidekick. Advise the General Manager and Guidance Team on bold growth moves, resource allocation, and market plays.
* Own the trunk. Oversee budgeting, forecasting, P&L accuracy, internal controls, balance-sheet health, and capital planning.
* Lift the branches. Shape pricing, mix, and inventory tactics that boost market share; coach department heads on margin magic.
* Spark innovation. Challenge legacy processes, champion tech tools, and embrace clever, sustainable risk-taking.
* Write the playbook. Craft SOPs and control systems that honour local regs and Treehouse quirks.
* Harness tech. Select and steward finance systems that save time and power smarter decisions.
* Audit with ease. Coordinate internal, external, and regulatory reviews; action fixes fast.
* Report with clarity. Deliver on-time P&Ls, reconciliations, tax filings, ROI studies, and crystal-clear forecasts.
Nurture relationships & owner trust
* Transparent storyteller. Translate numbers into insight for owners, explaining ROI and next steps.
* Contract custodian. Ensure all leaders understand management agreements and play by the rules.
* Community builder. Forge strong ties with regional teams, auditors, vendors, and the wider Treehouse family.
What you bring to the tree
* 4–5 years' success as a Director of Finance (pre-opening experience in lifestyle hotels = gold stars).
* Mastery of cash management, forecasting, revenue-strategy, budgeting, and project leadership.
* A track record turning market insight into joyful business wins.
* Flair for owner relations and comfort with complex financial agreements.
* Prowess in P&L analysis, multi-year forecasting, and capex planning.
* Stellar communication, presentation, and organisational skills.
* Analytical mind with creative, eco-curious problem-solving spirit.
* Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or similar (CPA/CA welcomed).
* Local roots in Adelaide or South Australia and a deep understanding of the region's hospitality scene are a big bonus.
* Passion for sustainability and—ideally—previous playtime with an eco-minded lifestyle brand.
