We are partnering with a high-growth, private equity backed group of independent schools in London to recruit a commercially driven Financial Planning & Analysis Manager. This role is paying £60,000 - £70,000 per annum. Note, it is critical you have previously worked within a private equity backed environment. This organisation is a fast-growing group of independent schools in the UK backed by private equity investors, focused on building a premium, multi-site education platform. It operates a portfolio of schools that typically combine strong academic performance with modern facilities and a broad co-curricular offering. The model is centred on acquiring, integrating, and improving schools while preserving their individual identities and educational standards. From a strategic perspective, the business is driven by value creation typical of private equity ownership, growing pupil numbers, optimising fee structures, improving operational efficiency, and expanding through acquisitions. There is usually a strong emphasis on data, performance tracking, and central support functions to enhance outcomes across the group. Culturally, they are fast-paced and evolving, sitting somewhere between traditional education and corporate performance-driven businesses. If you're considering joining a business like this, the appeal is typically exposure to strategy, M&A activity, and board-level decision-making, but it also comes with the intensity and accountability that private equity ownership brings. The Financial Planning & Analysis Manager is central to driving financial performance, supporting strategic decision-making, and delivering high-quality insights to senior leadership and investors. This position offers direct exposure to operational leaders, making it ideal for a high calibre finance leader seeking impact, visibility, and progression in a fast-paced PE environment. Lead the financial planning and analysis cycle, including annual budgeting, quarterly forecasting, and long-range planning. Partner with senior stakeholders to provide financial insights that support strategic decision-making. Develop and maintain financial models to evaluate business performance, risks, and opportunities. Deliver timely and accurate management reporting, including variance analysis and key performance indicators. Analyse financial results, identify trends, and provide actionable recommendations to improve performance. Support month-end and year-end processes, working closely with accounting teams. Drive improvements in reporting processes, tools, and data quality to enhance efficiency and accuracy. Prepare presentations and reports for executive leadership and board-level discussions. Monitor costs, revenues, and profitability across departments or business units. Ensure financial plans align with organisational goals and market conditions. Financial Planning & Analysis Manager: Qualified accountant (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CGMA/CIMA) or equivalent. It is essential you have worked in a private equity backed organisation. Proven experience in FP&A, financial modelling, or commercial finance roles. Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex financial data. Advanced Excel skills, experience with financial systems and reporting tools is advantageous. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present financial information to non-finance stakeholders. Strong business partnering experience and stakeholder management skills. High attention to detail with a proactive and problem-solving mindset. Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities. Commercially aware with a strategic mindset. Experience in process improvement or transformation initiatives is a plus. £60,000 - £70,000 per annum. Hybrid working. Annual leave package. Pension. Central London offices close to transport links. Why Join? Key role in a high-growth PE-backed business. Exposure to senior leadership and investors. Opportunity to influence strategic decisions. Dynamic and entrepreneurial culture.

We're looking for a passionate Restaurant General Manager to join The Hoxton, Edinburgh. You'll lead the way, inspire the team, set the tone, and make sure every plate, pour, and moment is unmistakably Hox. Reporting to the Director of Food & Beverage, you'll be responsible for the overall management of the restaurant and the team. Your role is to deliver an exceptional guest experience leading an enthusiastic and engaged team. We've opened our doors in Edinburgh's charming West End - our very first Hox in Scotland. Set across 11 beautiful Georgian townhouses, we're home to 214 bedrooms, a lively open lobby and bar, an all-day Italian trattoria Patatino, a retro-inspired cinema, a flexible and super-size event space called The Get Together, and The Apartment - our unique signature spot for meetings, private dinners and memorable gatherings. Patatino is our all-day Italian trattoria serving fresh pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and all the spritzes and Italian wines you could wish for. Inspired by the glam and romance of the sun-soaked Amalfi coast, it's a spot for long, joyful meals with friends, where old-school charm meets modern design, with bold colours, cosy corners, and plenty of personality. More about us The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces. Job Description What's in it for you Become part of a team that's very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences. 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance. Food on us during your shift. Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work. Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities. Hox Hero and Nifty Fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values. An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact. Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties - we know how to have a good time! The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding. Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene. Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family. What you'll do Lead a dynamic front of house team in our Italian trattoria Patatino. Bringing the energy to the floor, owning the vibe, and making sure every guest leaves already planning their next visit. Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You'll lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; helping them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top Hox experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions. Make it busy (and keep it busy), drive revenue and covers through smart, creative activations. Think brunch moments, neighbourhood pull, late-night energy and making the most of every seat, every service. Have a firm grip on the P&L and take ownership over the costs of the restaurant business, always striving to find efficient solutions whilst keeping the quality high and the experience top notch. Know the numbers, keep a close eye on revenue, spend per head, and bookings using tools such as SevenRooms to understand our guests, bring them back and turn first-timers into regulars. Work hand in hand with the kitchen, you and our Exec Chef are a team. Together you'll shape menus, flow and service that hit commercially and feel effortless to the guest. Spot the opportunities, whether it's a packed Friday night, a Tuesday lunch, or a new local partnership, you'll know how to turn moments into revenue. What we're looking for Individuals. You're looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here. Passion for hospitality - whether that's a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night. You're all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience. You're not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. You're up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once. If we got stuck in a lift together, we'd have a good time and share a few laughs. You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way. A track record of leading large teams in restaurants, kitchens and bars; you're a natural at inspiring trust and bringing others along on a journey. 2 plus years' experience in a similar restaurant management role in a busy, bustling environment. Previous involvement in budgeting and forecasting, a strong understanding of the financial expectations of a successful restaurant and bar business. An ability to manage the budget on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. You will be expected to report results with a granular understanding of the ongoing trends of the business. Exceptional attention to detail in a fast-paced environment, juggling many things at once, but always dotting the i's and crossing the t's.

Full time
We're looking for a passionate Restaurant General Manager to join The Hoxton, Edinburgh. You'll lead the way, inspire the team, set the tone, and make sure every plate, pour, and moment is unmistakably Hox. Reporting to the Director of Food & Beverage, you'll be responsible for the overall management of the restaurant and the team. Your role is to deliver an exceptional guest experience leading an enthusiastic and engaged team. We've opened our doors in Edinburgh's charming West End - our very first Hox in Scotland. Set across 11 beautiful Georgian townhouses, we're home to 214 bedrooms, a lively open lobby and bar, an all-day Italian trattoria Patatino, a retro-inspired cinema, a flexible and super-size event space called The Get Together, and The Apartment - our unique signature spot for meetings, private dinners and memorable gatherings. Patatino is our all-day Italian trattoria serving fresh pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and all the spritzes and Italian wines you could wish for. Inspired by the glam and romance of the sun-soaked Amalfi coast, it's a spot for long, joyful meals with friends, where old-school charm meets modern design, with bold colours, cosy corners, and plenty of personality. More about us The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we've never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn't need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces. Job Description What's in it for you Become part of a team that's very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences. 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance. Food on us during your shift. Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work. Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities. Hox Hero and Nifty Fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values. An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact. Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties - we know how to have a good time! The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding. Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene. Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family. What you'll do Lead a dynamic front of house team in our Italian trattoria Patatino. Bringing the energy to the floor, owning the vibe, and making sure every guest leaves already planning their next visit. Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You'll lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; helping them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top Hox experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions. Make it busy (and keep it busy), drive revenue and covers through smart, creative activations. Think brunch moments, neighbourhood pull, late-night energy and making the most of every seat, every service. Have a firm grip on the P&L and take ownership over the costs of the restaurant business, always striving to find efficient solutions whilst keeping the quality high and the experience top notch. Know the numbers, keep a close eye on revenue, spend per head, and bookings using tools such as SevenRooms to understand our guests, bring them back and turn first-timers into regulars. Work hand in hand with the kitchen, you and our Exec Chef are a team. Together you'll shape menus, flow and service that hit commercially and feel effortless to the guest. Spot the opportunities, whether it's a packed Friday night, a Tuesday lunch, or a new local partnership, you'll know how to turn moments into revenue. What we're looking for Individuals.
