We're looking for a Finance Assistant - Accounts Receivable -  to join our team. Reporting to the Director of Finance, you will be responsible for supporting the management accounts in relation to the hotels and restaurants.

A city so good we had to double down!

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.
