Regional Controller

We’re working with a major player in the global hospitality and food service space who are continuing to scale their operations across a portfolio of high-traffic venues including stadiums, arenas, cultural attractions, and large convention centres.

They are looking to appoint a Regional Controller to take responsibility for financial leadership across a portfolio of 15+ operational accounts. This is a newly established role that brings together commercial finance and operational insight, with real influence over how performance is driven across the region.

It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the action, not just reviewing results after the fact.

• Lead financial management across 15+ multi-site operations, including budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and month‑end close
• Translate financial results into clear insight that supports better operational decisions
• Partner directly with operational leaders to influence performance and drive accountability
• Oversee labour performance, cost efficiency, and margin improvement initiatives
• Strengthen financial processes, controls, and reporting consistency across the region
• Support commercial planning, scenario analysis, and decision support activity
• Work closely with embedded site controllers and district finance teams in a matrix structure

• CPA or equivalent accounting qualification preferred
• 5+ years’ experience in senior finance or controller-type roles
• Strong background in FP&A, financial reporting, and multi‑site environments
• Experience in hospitality, contract catering, venues, or similar high‑volume operations preferred
• Strong commercial judgement with the ability to influence operational stakeholders
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, constantly evolving environment
• Confident communicator who can simplify complex financial information for non‑finance teams
• Someone who enjoys being embedded in the business rather than working in isolation from it
