The role will be key to financial and operating reporting and an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to add significant value to the business.

Who Are We

Freehand is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're an accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world. No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Assistant Financial Controller for Freehand .

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love.

Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Freehand in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Freehand story and brand to life.
