Job Description

Pyramid Global Hospitality is a premier hospitality management company known for its expansive portfolio of over 200 hotels and resorts, supported by more than 18,000 associates across the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe. The company operates through a diversified platform that includes Benchmark Resorts & Hotels, a unique collection of independent properties; Axiom Hospitality, its dedicated European management division; and PYRAMIDWORKS, which offers integrated workplace and facilities services. With corporate offices strategically located in Boston, The Woodlands in Texas, and London, Pyramid Global Hospitality combines global reach with a focused, hands-on approach emphasizing exceptional service, operational excellence, and long-term partnerships. This multi-faceted presence allows the company to stay connected with its properties and teams worldwide while fostering a culture of innovation and quality across its operations.

At Pyramid, the core value is its people. The organization is deeply committed to creating an empowering and inclusive work environment that respects and supports its associates' professional growth. From those just starting their careers in hospitality to seasoned professionals, Pyramid offers abundant opportunities for learning, career development, and meaningful contributions. Associates collaborate closely with experienced leadership, engage in challenging projects, and gain valuable exposure to a diverse mix of hotel brands, property types, and market dynamics. The company’s dedication to its employees and stakeholders is highlighted by accolades from prestigious publications such as USA Today, The Boston Globe, and The Houston Chronicle, which have recognized it as one of the best places to work. Additionally, the properties managed by Pyramid have earned top accolades from respected travel authorities including Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes Travel Guide, and U.S. News & World Report, reflecting the company’s unwavering commitment to service excellence and a superior guest experience.

One of Pyramid Global Hospitality's notable properties is The Bradley, located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Bradley captures the essence of Midwestern charm combined with modern design, mirroring the vibrant community and creativity of the city it inhabits. It serves as a boutique lifestyle hotel that embodies the spirit of its local surroundings, offering guests a unique and authentic experience characterized by warmth and innovation.

The Complex Director of Finance role at Pyramid Global Hospitality is a dynamic executive position responsible for overseeing financial management across a portfolio of three distinct lifestyle hotels: The Bradley Hotel in Fort Wayne, Hotel Max in Oregon, and Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery in New Orleans. This key leadership position entails strategic financial oversight aimed at maximizing profitability and operational efficiency while safeguarding company assets and supporting long-term business goals. Reporting directly to General Managers and corporate leadership, the Complex Director of Finance acts as a trusted financial advisor, delivering actionable insights and financial guidance to multiple stakeholders, including ownership groups.

This role demands a seasoned professional with a deep understanding of hotel finance operations, including budget development, capital planning, forecasting, financial reporting, and compliance. The individual will analyze market trends and operational metrics to identify opportunities for enhancing revenue and controlling expenses across the portfolio. Collaboration with departments such as Revenue Management, Sales, and Operations is essential to optimize financial performance indicators like Gross Operating Profit (GOP) and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA).

Given the multi-property responsibilities spanning Indiana, Oregon, Washington, and New Orleans, the Complex Director of Finance must be willing to travel monthly to provide on-site leadership and support. This role also focuses on fostering strong internal controls, ensuring regulatory compliance, leading audit functions, and mentoring accounting teams to uphold consistent financial practices and governance standards. Candidates will have the opportunity to shape financial strategies within a challenging and rewarding hospitality environment that values innovation, accountability, and collaboration. The compensation for this role ranges from $130,000 to $150,000, reflecting the breadth of experience and expertise required.
