ABOUT NUMA

Hey there! We’re Numa, a forward-thinking hospitality brand redefining how people discover cities. We create spaces where simplicity meets innovation, offering thoughtfully designed rooms, studios, and apartments in the heart of Europe’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
We’re not just transforming the guest experience—we’re revolutionizing the hospitality industry from the inside out. Our cutting-edge technology streamlines operations, delivering unparalleled value with no hidden fees—just real, quality experiences.
At Numa, we believe that travel should be curious and authentic, and we bring those same values to our work culture. As part of our team, you’ll experience a dynamic and supportive environment where creativity thrives, and your contributions make a real impact. We’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where every voice is valued, and different perspectives fuel our innovation.

About the role

Numa is a tech-enabled hospitality operator running roughly 150 active properties across multiple
European markets, several brands, and two young business lines: Franchise and M&A. Finance has
kept pace with that growth, but many of our core processes were designed for a company a fraction of
our current size. They work because good people make them work every month — not because they are
built to scale. The cost of that is now visible: manual reconciliations, the same accounting question answered
differently in three markets, reporting cycles that depend on specific individuals, controls that live in
people’s heads, and automation opportunities that nobody owns end to end.
This role exists to fix that permanently — one process at a time, in priority order, until Numa’s finance
engine is standardised, automated, documented and demonstrably in use.

Key Responsibilities

Process design and standardisation

  • Maintain a live, prioritised inventory of Numa’s finance processes with an assessment of criticality,
    maturity and risk
  • Run process assessments with the teams who own the work — evidence-based, not opinion-based
  • Design target processes that are standard across markets and entities by default, with variation only
    where a jurisdiction genuinely requires it
  • Eliminate steps before automating them; automate what remains

Automation and systems

  • Identify and deliver automation across the finance stack — ERP workflows, AP automation, bank
    and PSP integrations, BI pipelines, low-code tooling
  • Translate process design into system requirements, and hold vendors and internal Tech to them
  • Lead tool evaluations, selections and implementations as projects where a process redesign
    requires it
  • Work with Tech, Data and BI to make sure financial data flows once, correctly, and is not re-keyed
    downstream

Documentation and governance

  • Build and maintain Numa’s finance process documentation: process maps, SOPs, RACI, control
    matrices, calendars and SLAs
  • Design the control points into the process rather than bolting them on afterwards
  • Make documentation genuinely usable — the test is whether a new joiner or an auditor can follow it
    unaided

Project leadership

  • Run each process initiative as a proper project: scope, stakeholders, milestones, risks, decision log,
    steering rhythm
  • Manage the portfolio of parallel initiatives and be explicit with the CFO about trade-offs and
    sequencing
  • Escalate early and with a recommendation attached

Adoption, enablement and assurance

  • Train and coach finance and non-finance teams on new processes
  • Hand over to named process owners with clear accountability
  • Run post-implementation adherence reviews at a defined interval and close the gaps you find
  • Report progress and impact to the CFO and the wider leadership team in numbers, not narrative

What you will need

  • 4–8+ years in finance process design, finance transformation or finance operations — ideally
    combining a consulting background (Big 4, strategy or a transformation practice) with in-house
    delivery in a fast-scaling company
  • A demonstrable track record of end-to-end process redesigns you personally delivered —
    with quantified before and after, not slideware
  • Strong project management craft: scoping, stakeholder mapping, milestone discipline, running
    steering meetings, managing resistance, escalating early
  • Solid finance fundamentals: you understand a P&L, a close, an accounting treatment, a control and
    a cash cycle well enough to design around them. A qualified accountant is welcome but not required
  • Systems fluency: ERP (NetSuite, Dynamics, SAP or similar), AP automation, BI. Comfortable writing
    requirements, reading a data flow, and challenging a vendor
  • Multi-entity, multi-country experience and comfort with jurisdictional variation
  • A working style that fits: structured, low-ego, hands-on, allergic to processes that only work on
    paper. Persuades with evidence rather than hierarchy, and finishes what they start
  • Fluent English (our working language)

ABOUT OUR OFFER

  • Empower your career: Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your ideas help shape our future. Enjoy opportunities for professional growth and build a fulfilling career path.
  • Experience our brand: Immerse yourself in the Numa lifestyle with a complimentary stay. Share the love with friends and family through exclusive discounts on our stylish apartments. Connect with a global community of colleagues at our inspiring team-building events.

Numa values the diversity of the people it hires and serves. Diversity at our company means fostering a workplace in which individual differences are recognised, appreciated, respected and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilise each person’s talents and strengths. We therefore welcome applications from people of all races, ethnicities, disability statuses, ages, religions, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
