Boutique hotel group scaling UK operations with SAP and cloud infrastructure
Malmaison operates 18 boutique hotels across the UK, with accelerating hiring focused heavily on operations (90 roles) and finance (10 roles). The tech stack reflects a maturing enterprise: SAP for core transactional work, Oracle SQL and Power BI/Tableau for reporting, plus Azure and AWS for infrastructure. Active projects cluster around finance automation (accounts payable streamlining, capex reporting, invoice processing) and data standardization, suggesting the group is moving from manual, fragmented processes toward centralized reporting and compliance — a typical pattern for multi-location hospitality chains scaling beyond founder-led operations.
