Assistant Financial Controller

Company Description 

Founded in 2008 by Serge Trigano and his sons Jérémie and Benjamin (co-founders of Club Med), Mama Shelter is a creator of living spaces and a daily director! 

These are atypical places, where everyone feels at home, places born of a blend of influences, freedoms, sensations and emotions. Each Mama tells the story of the city in which it is located, and all influences blend together. We offer our guests a joyful atmosphere and exceptional service at an affordable price.  

More than just rooms and restaurants, Mama Shelter is a dynamic, a vibe: they are true urban refuges, not only aesthetically pleasing and modern but also popular, welcoming and sexy. 

Whatever your role, we're all here to make the customer experience as unforgettable as possible.  

Our mission: to bring little moments of happiness to people. 

Our growth has enabled us to offer our teams great career paths through internal development and international mobility, and it's not a question of diplomas or years of experience. 

Mama Shelter is part of Ennismore, a creative hotel group rooted in cultures and destinations, with a global portfolio of brands. Ennismore is a joint venture with Accor, founded in 2021.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion:  

Mama is an inclusive company, and our ambition is to recruit and promote diverse talent. Our advertisements are gender-neutral, so the masculine gender is used here to lighten the text.

THE MISSION? 

• You keep a hawk’s eye on costs, juggle margins like a pro, and make the numbers tell a story so that every penny counts. 🧐💸 
• When it comes to stock, you're the guardian of perfect control: nothing goes missing, everything stays on your radar, right down to the very last bottle of gin! 🍸📦 
• You turn Excel spreadsheets into masterpieces of clarity, and your reports are more eagerly awaited than a lazy Sunday brunch. 📊✨ 
• Head Chef, Sous Chef, F&B Director... you work hand in hand with the whole crew to keep the magic flowing, both in the kitchen and in the accounts. 👩‍🍳🤝 
• Outstanding receivables? No worries. You chase them down with a smile (and a healthy dose of persuasion when needed). 💼😎 
• With your insights, ideas, and sharp analysis, you help Mama’s finances shine, because managing the numbers well is an art form all on its own! 🌟📈 

MADE FOR YOU? ONLY IF… 

• You know the basics of accounting inside out and can navigate reports, client accounts, and inventories with your eyes closed. 💼📒 
• Hotel and restaurant cost control is your playground. And if you’ve worked with OPERA or MICROS, that’s a total win! 🏨🍴 
• Excel is your superpower. You create spreadsheets that are both impressive and functional (promise). 📊✨

YOUR LITTLE EXTRAS : 

• Attention to detail ? For you, it’s an art form. Your numbers are as precise as a Michelin-starred chef’s knife skills. 🔪✨ 
• You’re always the Banker in Monopoly. 💰  
• Working flexible hours, evenings, weekends, or even holidays doesn’t faze you – you know how to keep your energy up. 🌙🕒
