Life at Sonder

We aspire to build a workplace where employees can thrive. Our culture shapes how we make decisions, how we conduct meetings, how we communicate, and how we treat each other. It’s the coordinated way in which we work that gives us a shot at achieving the epic tale we hope to be part of. Our Leadership Principles are a foundational part of our culture and they play a vital role in guiding the values and actions of our team members. Each of these principles is at the heart of what we do. Check out this article to find out more about our Culture and Principles.

We’re hiring a high-impact financial leader to oversee end-to-end financial operations across our regional hospitality portfolio. As Regional Manager of Finance & Business Support, you’ll be the senior-most finance partner for Operations in your region — responsible for revenue integrity, cost controls, internal compliance, and financial planning across multiple properties.

This is a critical execution role at the heart of our hospitality business. You’ll partner directly with Regional VPs, GMs, and department heads to instill financial discipline, deliver reliable reporting, and drive sustainable profitability. You’ll bring rigor and clarity to daily processes — from revenue audits and tax compliance to budget forecasts and monthly close. And you'll help operators make smarter, faster decisions by demystifying the numbers and translating them into action.

In short, you’ll be the connective tissue between Finance and Operations — building a collaborative culture grounded in accountability, transparency, and results.

AT SONDER YOU WILL:

• Serve as the regional Finance lead, overseeing the full spectrum of financial operations across multiple hotels and properties.

• Own daily revenue audits and PMS reporting to ensure all financial postings are accurate, justified, and reconciled — with swift follow-through on open folios and exceptions.

• Ensure property-level internal controls are implemented and followed — with particular focus on guest collections and credit card reconciliation.

• Lead tax compliance efforts across the region, including ongoing sales tax reconciliation and jurisdictional rate changes.

• Run the weekly credit meeting with GMs and Sales to monitor outstanding receivables, deposits, and in-house balances.

• Own the annual budgeting process and guide monthly forecasting — partnering closely with operators to drive alignment on labor, costs, and margin improvement opportunities.

• Review monthly P&Ls for accuracy and usability, and partner with GMs to understand variances and inform future planning.

• Review purchase orders, invoices, and accounting transactions to ensure accuracy and compliance with USALI standards.

• Develop financial acumen across the organization — helping teams at all levels understand how their decisions impact the bottom line.

• Act as a strategic business partner to Regional Ops leadership, bridging Finance and Operations to drive long-term business health.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

• 5+ years of experience in finance roles with direct responsibility for multi-unit operations, ideally in hospitality, retail, or multi-site environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Hotel Business Administration or equivalent field of study; or an equivalent combination of training, education, and experience

• Proven expertise in revenue controls, budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning.

• Strong command of USALI reporting standards.

• Systems experience across Opera PMS, NetSuite, Coupa, Anaplan, and Tableau (or equivalent).

• Clear communicator with a bias for action — able to influence both operators and senior leaders.

• Analytical mindset with obsessive attention to detail — comfortable digging into numbers while keeping sight of the big picture.

• Assertive and principled, with a collaborative spirit and a commitment to team-wide success.
