** We are recruiting a Senior Analyst and will also consider excellent Analyst level candidates**
Position Summary
A key member of the Feasibility & Investment Analysis group, this role will perform a variety of market and financial analyses including but not limited to market assessments, feasibility studies, management & franchise contract valuations, asset management projects including lease valuations, assessments of real estate renovations & master plans, supporting acquisition/disposition transactions, impact studies, debt & equity investment NPVs and IRRs, M&A analyses, and other special projects. Beyond this, and overall, the Senior Analyst will act as an internal consultant to various departments (Development, Real Estate & Asset Management, Operations, Finance, Executive Management).
The role requires working effectively with other Hilton departments (Development, Real Estate & Asset Management, Operations, Legal, Architecture, Design & Construction, Openings, Finance, and others) to leverage their expertise, critical feedback and inform the underwriting of a given project. In order to achieve this, the Senior Analyst will be expected to engage in constructive discussions with Team Members from other departments, including senior executives, clearly articulating her/his views, evaluate and provide the necessary information, confidently challenging any input as appropriate, in order to deliver robust, independent assessments with the highest levels of integrity. The candidate may also be expected to support senior executives in their dealings with clients and third parties, by being involved in meetings and providing detailed analysis for such discussions, as well as supporting the preparation of relevant presentations.
The role requires the candidate to acquire & expand valuable industry knowledge (trends, competition, underwriting best practices, etc.) as well as develop internal business partnerships and external professional relationships, with emphasis on strategic markets which will complement the team’s knowledge and align with the strategic priorities of key clients (Development, Real Estate & Asset Management).
The candidate will join an international team made up of highly motivated professionals coming from varied backgrounds. The Senior Analyst is expected to rapidly become a driving force alongside existing team members in initiating, leading and participating in multiple special projects, committees and other departmental initiatives. S/he will Inspire other team members through individual excellence, as well as proactive contributions to the team’s progress (ongoing training, involvement in working groups/committees) and growth by providing regular critical feedback and ideas (regarding projects, initiatives, evolution of processes, etc.).
The success of the Senior Analyst within the Feasibility & Investment Analysis team relies on advanced technical and analytical skills, combined with the professional management of a wide range of contributions & deliverables to our clients, our team and other business functions. It therefore requires a proven track-record in an analytical capacity and/or prior exposure to an advisory role; clear & confident communication; agility in project and time management; as well as a constant drive for both individual and collective success. Through its diversity, the role offers an incredible overview of the industry and is therefore an ideal launch pad for various subsequent career evolutions within Hilton and across disciplines, as demonstrated by our great network of alumni.
What will I be doing?
Preparing financial forecast for proposed hotels
A typical proforma analysis includes a site/hotel evaluation from the viewpoint of its utility for operation as a hotel; an analysis of the neighbourhood/city/country; understanding hotel demand patterns; determining a competitive set for the proposed hotel and investigating new supply entering the market; projecting hotel demand and average daily rate; benchmarking costs against other Hilton properties, competitive benchmarks, and industry standards.
Prepare financial analysis, forecasts and scenario assessments for existing assets (owned & leased)
In addition to the market analysis and forecasting as outlined above, asset management projects require extensive analysis of the operational structure, financial performance and contract terms of a subject hotel as well as thorough assessment of the proposed scenarios (e.g. lease extensions, renovation options, sale vs hold scenarios). Considering the potentially high levels of investment by Hilton, these assignments require a high level of accuracy and sophistication.
Perform investment analyses & valuations of hotels
The proforma P&L serves as a basis for investment analyses and valuations, often of complex commercial terms. The investment analyses and valuations support the decision-making process of our internal clients, including Development, Real Estate, Finance, and Executive Management.
Internal & External Client Relationship Development & Management
Represent the department internal and externally while developing and maintaining constructive and cooperative working relationships. Communicate and co-operate with senior leadership within the organization. Attends departmental and external meetings pertinent to work assignments and address topics of analysis. Communicate the role and objectives of the F&IA function internally and externally.
