Head of Finance and HR systems

Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

Technology only works when it serves the people using it, and that is where you come in. As our Head of Finance & HR Applications, you will take the wheel on shaping, optimizing, and modernizing the core systems that keep our global business humming. Leading a tight-knit team of three in Amsterdam, you will bridge the gap between finance, HR, legal, and tech to cut out manual clutter and build seamless digital workflows. We are looking for a strategic thinker who is equally excited to roll up their sleeves, test new tools, and mentor a growing team. You will have room to experiment, challenge traditional setups, and own tech decisions that directly impact how thousands of colleagues work every day. If you love building smart systems and lifting up the people around you, you will feel right at home here.

In case you don't know who we are (ahem)...

Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more. Think student accommodation, long and short stay options, gyms, talks, events, rooftop bar and eat & drink escapes as well as community and coworking spaces. Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and the UK, with several new openings on the way, this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global.

What You'll Do:

• Shape and refine our software landscape across Finance, HR, and Legal to match our growth and changing business needs.
• Spearhead the selection, rollout, and upkeep of back-office tools alongside internal partners and external advisors.
• Map and streamline day-to-day workflows to eliminate repetitive manual work, with a special focus on payroll optimization.
• Lead, coach, and support a talented team of three while managing relationships with external service providers.
• Set up engaging training sessions so teams across the company get maximum value out of our platforms.
• Partner with the data strategy team to build clear dashboards and reporting tools for Finance and HR.
• Manage vendor contracts and negotiate terms to keep our system ecosystem cost-effective and efficient.

Who You Are:

• You bring 10+ years of experience managing back-office systems, optimizing processes, and working in agile environments.
• You hold a master’s degree in (Business) Economics, Accounting, or a closely related field.
• You bring hands-on experience with tools like NetSuite, Tagetik, Coupa, Personio, and Pinpoint (or similar HR, Finance, and Legal software).
• You have a proven track record of leading and empowering small, high-performing tech or operations teams.
• You bring strong vendor management experience, from selecting software partners to negotiating contracts.
• You have a structured, optimistic mindset with a knack for turning complex tech challenges into practical solutions.
• You bring fluency in English and a warm, collaborative communication style.

What We Offer:

• The opportunity to work at a dynamic, multi-national company. Not just another hotel - we’re a game changing innovator, challenging every convention and defining the future
• The opportunity to work for a Certified B Corp® company that balances profit with positive impact, collaborating with organizations like Movement on the Ground and the TSH Talent Foundation to create meaningful change   
• The chance to learn and grow in your role with the potential for future growth
• Awesome discounts in all our properties in Europe and not just for you, but also for your friends and family!
• A wonderful workplace to call home, full of events, fun colleagues and all the other amazing salary/benefits stuff

At The Social Hub, we believe pay should be fair and consistent. That's why we carefully determine your starting salary based on the role, your assessed proficiency, and our salary framework. We make our best and fairest offer upfront, so we don't negotiate salaries. Because fairness shouldn’t depend on who negotiates best.  

Who you are, is how we want you to be. To us, hybrid hospitality goes across the board, from how we service our guests to how we represent ourselves. Here, everyone belongs, and we welcome people no matter their nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or culture. Your authenticity keeps our team diverse. Come as you are.
