Senior Manager of Data - Finance
Help make the world more hospitable
The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.
You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.
If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.
About the role
Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:
At Mews, our financial and regulatory data is the backbone of how we close the books, report to investors, satisfy regulators and get IPO‑ready. Right now, that backbone is being tested and we need to make it scalable.
We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Data – Finance to take ownership of our finance data world: the pipelines, platforms and practices that turn complex operational, RevOps, Financial Services, billing and core finance data into trusted, auditable, decision‑ready insight. If you love taking something complex, high‑stakes and business‑critical and turning it into a calm, well‑run machine, this one’s for you.
✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
- Lead and develop the Finance & Regulatory Data team (analytics/data engineers and a data scientist) across Europe.
- Own the strategy, architecture and roadmap for Mews’ finance and regulatory data platform.
- Prioritise and deliver data projects that support Corporate Finance, FP&A, Financial Systems, FinTech and RevOps.
- Raise the bar on data quality, governance, lineage and auditability for all finance and regulatory data.
- Partner closely with finance and business leaders to translate needs into clear data solutions and narratives.
- Reduce manual, spreadsheet‑driven processes through automation, advanced analytics and ML‑powered insights.
🤝️ You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:
- Hands‑on data leader with deep experience in large‑scale data infrastructure (Databricks is ideal; Snowflake or similar lakehouse platforms also great). You’re comfortable diving into architecture and code, even if you’re not shipping every pipeline yourself.
- Proven experience in finance‑heavy, regulated or complex environments (SaaS with a strong finance lens is a big plus).
- Strong instincts for control, auditability, lineage and “trust in numbers” – you understand that finance data is different and must be governed accordingly.
- A track record of leading small, senior teams through ambiguity and change, and coming out stronger on the other side.
- Confident partnering with CFO/Finance leadership and senior tech stakeholders as a true peer.
- Leadership style that combines high standards with empathy, clarity and trust – you’re direct, but you bring people with you.
Nice to have
- Experience building or maturing finance data platforms as part of IPO/audit journeys.
- Exposure to financial services, payments or other regulated industries.
- Experience connecting operational data to financial outcomes (e.g. revenue models, churn prediction, leakage detection).

Life at Mews
We’re an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.
We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.
A few things that define how we work:
- High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.
- Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.
- We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.
- AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.
If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.
We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.
One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.
If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
