From day one, you will be fully integrated into Team Hilton. Our placements offer vast exposure and opportunities, including networking with senior executives, involvement in regional conferences and for some, international travel.
Based in our EMEA headquarters, Watford, you will be part of a cohort of 50 Interns and take part in regular connect meetings and feedback sessions designed to support your development. You will benefit from a subsidised restaurant, a games area and a free in-house gym.
**The Opportunities**
We have seven placements available across seven different areas of the Finance team. If successful you will be offered a 12-month placement in one of our Finance sub-teams
**Hilton Finance Centre of Excellence:**
The Hilton Finance Centre of Excellence has two placement opportunities available, one in our Order-to-Cash (OTC) and another in our Record-To-Report (RTR) team. These placements provide exposure to a wide range of corporate finance activities, including journal postings, balance sheet reconciliations, VAT and revenue analysis, audit support, and financial reporting.
Interns will work closely with experienced professionals across various finance functions within the Centre of Excellence, contributing to the monthly close process, supporting compliance and control activities, and engaging in continuous improvement initiatives. You'll gain insight into Hilton's financial systems and processes, develop your analytical and organisational skills, and build a strong foundation for a career in finance. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a collaborative, fast-paced team within one of the world's most recognised hospitality brands, where innovation and excellence are at the heart of everything we do.
**Finance Operations Placement:**
The EMEA Finance Operations team is responsible for budgeting & forecasting for 600 hotels across Europe, Middle East & Africa, management reporting for the Executive team, and ensuring hotels are compliant with Hilton accounting policies and in line with US Sarbanes Oxley requirements, supporting finance for new hotel openings, providing commercial finance support to the business and managing the forecasts and budgets for corporate cost centres.
As an intern, you will support the team with regular reporting activities as well as ad hoc requests, presentations, newsletters, communications, etc. You should have a keen interest in the hospitality industry, particularly in understanding financial performance improvement and driving business process efficiency, strong communication skills, attention to detail, adaptability and a strong work ethic are very important as well as a desire to be a high-level Microsoft Excel user.
**Finance Global Brands & Commercial Services (GBCS) Placement:**
The GBCS Finance team supports Hilton's Brand and Commercial engine - driving brand loyalty, top-line revenue and market share. This is a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) arm of finance that is primarily responsible for the budgeting and forecasting of corporate expenditure across Brands, Sales, Marketing, Revenue Management and Technology functions.
The team works with a wide range of stakeholders across multiple regions with varying reporting needs, so there are excellent opportunities to develop both analytical and business partnering skills. As an intern, you will support all aspects of our monthly deliverables and will have a unique opportunity to learn about our commercial operations, whilst getting to know the teams driving these initiatives.
**Consolidations & Reporting Placement:**
The Consolidation team is primarily responsible for consolidation, intercompany and review processes relating to the monthly reporting of results. We help ensure information is complete, accurate and in compliance with USGAAP, SOX and Group Audit requirements. Our focus is primarily on the international estate (including Europe, MEA, Asia Pacific, and Latin America); however, we are also responsible for several Global processes, which provide the department with a full overview of Group activities in certain areas.
As an intern, you will work with a range of stakeholders and different reporting requirements across multiple countries, therefore there is plenty of scope to develop technical accounting skills and knowledge. The role will support the team in the preparation and review of monthly analytical schedules, account roll forwards, lead schedules, account reconciliations, variance analysis and monthly Balance Sheet and P&L journals.
**Statutory Reporting Placement:**
The UK Statutory Reporting and Accounting team is responsible for all aspects of statutory accounting across the international estate, including preparation of all UK statutory accounts for audit, and compliance overview of all other statutory requirements. Hilton has approximately 60 companies registered in the UK that report the results of UK leased hotels and all the international managed and franchised hotels.

As an intern, you will support the team in the preparation and audit of statutory accounts in accordance with FRS 101. This may comprise preparing workings to support the statutory accounts, preparing and making changes to the documents and checking that the documents do agree to the underlying records for that entity. This role provides the unusual opportunity to see the whole profit and loss account and balance sheet of a small group of hotels rather than one section of the balance sheet on a global basis. As a team there are multiple deadlines to be met, and you will be required to organise multiple tasks that enable the team to meet those deadlines.

Job Description
Director of Finance and Operations 
 The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK 
 Salary: £60,000-£70,000 per annum 
 Remote (UK-based) with expensed travel to London 
 Full-time, permanent  
Akshaya Patra is one of the world’s largest school meals charities – nourishing 2.35 million children in India every day and now expanding our impact across the UK.
Our UK after-school programme, Empower Hour , provides hot, nutritious meals and targeted tuition to children growing up in poverty – extending the school day by 60 minutes to give them the fuel, support and enrichment they need to thrive.
What began in one school in 2024 is already serving ten, and – alongside driving continued expansion in India – we are now ready to scale our delivery to reach thousands more children across the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.
To help lead this exciting phase of growth, we are seeking a Director of Finance and Operations – a senior leader who combines strong financial stewardship with operational leadership and is motivated by purpose as much as performance.
You will sit on the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the CEO, and oversee two core portfolios:
- Programmes – overseeing Watford kitchen operations, Empower Hour delivery and holiday hunger initiatives.
- Finance and Resources – leading financial planning and reporting, systems, compliance, HR development and organisational infrastructure.
This role will suit someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical implementation – someone who finds energy in building strong foundations and helping a values-led organisation grow well.
You may have built your career in charity, education, food provision, public services, the private sector or elsewhere – but you will bring:
- Senior-level experience across finance, operations or programme delivery.
- Strong financial acumen and understanding of charity governance and compliance.
- A collaborative leadership style – supporting, challenging and uplifting those you lead.
- Deep alignment with our mission to fight child hunger and educational inequality.
What we offer:
- Flexible and remote working.
- 34 days’ leave (25 days annual leave + Diwali + English bank holidays).
- Employer pension contribution.
- Investment in professional and vocational development.
- A meaningful leadership role in a growing global movement – empowering children in both the UK and India.
How to apply:
- Click on the 'Apply on website' button and you will be redirected to the Akshaya Patra UK website.
- Please send your CV and a cover letter to the email address included in the applicant pack outlining both your suitability for the role and what attracts you to Akshaya Patra and our mission.
- Closing date: Monday 3 November 2025.
If you believe no child should be held back by hunger – and you have the leadership skills and desire to help grow an organisation that makes that possible – we would love to hear from you.
