The Finesse programme aims to develop a group of talented, internationally mobile Finance people and fast track them to Finance Director positions within 5-8 years of starting the Programme.
Task
- Finesse consists of a 24-month training programme which encompasses two international 12-month placements in our hotels.
- During your placements, you will gain all-round Finance experience whilst working in all the main Finance functions.
- You will also gain exposure in the other key functional areas of Operations, Business Development and Human Resources.
- You will participate in off-the-job training and have business driven projects to complete.
- Following successful completion of this 2 year programme you will then be assigned into a full-time Finance role in year 3.
- During Finesse your progress is constantly assessed, so you always know how you are developing.
- As the programme is so flexible, it will take into account all training that you have had to date and build on it, rather than making you repeat things unnecessarily.
Location:
The location of your placements will depend on availability and could be anywhere within the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (subject to Visa restrictions etc.)
Requirements:
• You must have a Bachelors Degree or equivalent in a Finance, Accounting or related subject
• You must speak, read and write English fluently. A second langauge (i.e. Arab, Russian or Turkish) is considered an advantage.
• You must be willing/able/eligible to live and work in the Europe, Middle East and Africa Region
• You must be fully mobile within the 2 year programme to join your 2 placement hotels
• You must have the desire to become a Finance Director within Hilton.
• We will accept both internal and external candidates as long as the above criteria apply
• You must have graduated within the period of July 2015 until August 2017.
Learning & Development:
- The key focus here will be for you to complete the CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) Professional Finance qualification.
- This is a highly regarded professional qualification with global recognition in the Finance profession.
- This process will be supported by Hilton in terms of both funding and learning support.
- The CIMA qualification typically takes 3 years to complete, so this will be completed during your first 2 placements and then completed in your 3rd year whilst working full-time within one of our hotel operations.
- During your 24-month training you will also take part in a number of other face-to-face training courses focused on other business competence areas.
- As a Finesse participant you will also have access to the Hilton University, our on-line learning and development tool, through which you can complete e-learning courses, learn a language on-line and make use of our on-line business library.
