We’re Sonesta International Hotels.
The 8th largest hotel company in the U.S.—and growing fast.

An epic blend of full-service and focused hotels in major cities, Sonesta’s uniquely diverse portfolio of owned, managed, and franchised properties makes us everywhere you want to be. Driven by the human side of hospitality, we deliver service with passion, loyalty with purpose, and experiences that truly connect.

Together We Thrive—bringing quality, value, and amazing hospitality to every guest, every stay, across 1000+ properties in eight countries and counting.

The Source to Pay (S2P) Business Systems Manager is accountable for the strategic ownership, roadmap, and execution of Sonesta’s end‑to‑end sourcing‑to‑payment ecosystem, including sourcing, contract and vendor management, procurement, invoicing, payments, and cash visibility.
This role acts as the business owner and primary point of accountability for S2P capabilities, serving as functional owner, systems strategist, and initiative lead for S2P platforms and workflows. The role partners closely with Sourcing, Finance, Operations, IT, and external vendors to identify opportunities, lead cross‑functional change, and translate business needs into scalable system solutions.
With a focus on adoption, governance, analytics, and continuous improvement, this position ensures S2P systems enable business outcomes, improve financial insight, and support informed decision‑making.
