Director of Finance

Eterniti is building one of the world’s leading premium vacation rental property management platforms. Backed by Limestone Capital, we partner with established regional vacation rental brands and support them with centralized technology, revenue management, marketing, operations, data and AI. The idea is simple: local market expertise, plus the resources and discipline of an institutional platform.

Our brands include Emerald Stay (premium homes), Bo House (luxury) and Verbier Exclusive (ultra-luxury). In Europe we’re already established across the south of France, the French Alps, the Swiss Alps and Spain.

Eterniti Americas leads the group’s growth in the Americas. We’ve rolled out Emerald Stay across premier destinations in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, upstate New York, Texas and Arizona, and we keep expanding into new markets, with roughly one acquisition every quarter. Our goal is to build the leading premium vacation rental property management platform in the Americas and pass $250 million in Gross Booking Revenue by 2030.

We’re hiring a Director of Finance to lead finance for Eterniti Americas. This is the senior-most finance role in the US today and a seat on the US leadership team. You’ll bring recommendations, challenge assumptions and help leadership make better decisions, with your contribution coming through sharp financial analysis and advice. As the business scales, the role will grow with it.

You won’t be starting from scratch. Our bookkeeping and day-to-day accounting are handled by an outsourced accounting firm, supported by the group’s finance teams in Europe and Asia. Your job is to run finance above that: own the quality of the books and the close, put the right systems and controls in place, lead budgets and forecasts, coordinate audits and tax, and turn the numbers into insight we can act on.

In practice, that means two jobs at once.

The first is making sure we run a clean, reliable finance function. Every market came to us with its own books, its own accountants, its own bank accounts and its own habits. You’ll manage our outsourced accounting firm and work with the group finance team to bring that into one finance operation that reports the same way everywhere, closes on time and accurately, keeps owner funds and tax filings airtight, and gives our group CFO and leadership numbers they can trust.

The second is understanding how our existing business really performs. You’ll know the economics of every market and every home we manage, find where we’re losing margin, and give operations and revenue management the analysis they need to make better decisions.

Our businesses run lean. You’ll get into the detail when it matters, and grow the finance team as the business grows.
