Cosy Club Recruitment and Talent Manager

About us Loungers is a substantial and growing operator in the UK hospitality sector, operating over 300 sites in England and Wales across three distinct but complementary brands, Lounges, Cosy Club, and Brightside. Founded in 2002 by three friends who wanted to create a neighbourhood café-bar that they would want to go to, the Group is now the only growing all‑day operator of scale in the UK and has consistently outperformed the wider UK hospitality sector over the past three years. Despite being the fastest growing café/restaurant group in the Country, Loungers has retained its entrepreneurial spirit and quirky “Loungey” local community atmosphere.

The role in a nutshell Reporting to the Commercial Finance Manager, we are looking for an experienced Finance Business Partner to join our team to support our Cosy Club brand. This role is critical within the FP&A team, responsible for the provision of key commercial analysis to senior management to support the business in understanding and controlling performance including, but not limited to, labour spend, gross profit, and menu development modelling and pricing. The successful candidate will have experience of business partnering at an operational and director level, as well as a strong track record of owning, producing and developing timely, accurate and insightful performance reporting and analysis. Experience within the hospitality sector / multi‑site retail or similar would be preferred. This role is primarily based at our Bristol City Centre headquarters. Applicants must live within a reasonable commuting distance and be willing to work from the office four days per week.

  • Support/challenge as necessary using commercial finance acumen
  • Partner on budgeting and forecasting process
  • Drive and support the design and development of reporting improvements
  • Look for efficiencies in FP&A tasks and commercial opportunities in the business.

  • Part/fully qualified accountant or QBE
  • Team player who can work within the team to deliver collective priorities
  • Able to thrive in a dynamic and fast‑changing business
  • Able to challenge existing ways of working & as part of decision‑making process
  • Strong communication and influencing skills
  • Curiosity to extract trends and understand key business drivers
  • Excellent analytical skills and ability to present financial information to non‑financial people
  • An ability to deal with detail but also to see the bigger picture
  • Expert Excel
  • Experience with BI tools preferred (multi‑dimension “cube” reporting)
  • Tenacity to pursue issues and cut through to key points.

Benefits

  • A culture that appreciates ideas and celebrates individuality
  • Founder‑led business – we might have 300 sites, but we still maintain an entrepreneurial spirit through everything we do
  • 50% off food and drink (at all Lounges, Cosy Clubs and Brightsides)
  • Up to 10% annual bonus potential
  • Pension contribution
  • 24/7 mental health support
