Finance Operations Specialist

Eterniti is the leading operator of vacation rentals in iconic holiday destinations, led by a passion for excellence, authentic adventures, and hospitality. With over €2 billion in assets under management, we operate 800+ chalets, villas and apartments under 3 consumer brands: Emerald Stay (our 4* brand), Bo House (our 5* brand) and Verbier Exclusive (our Palace brand). Our guests can discover our properties in more than 25 exceptional destinations across Europe and North America.

The Finance Operations Specialist is the engine of day-to-day finance operations across our 20+ group companies. The role makes sure that every invoice is captured, checked and paid correctly and on time, that expenses are complete and correctly coded before month-end, that revenue and commission data reconcile, and that the accounting team and our on-site teams can rely on clean, up-to-date information.

It is a hands-on role for someone precise, organised and reliable, who likes a clean process and a clear inbox, and who wants to learn how an international group runs its finances from the inside.
