There’s no doubt you’ll have an interesting and varied career at Unite Students, says Ryan Mahoney, Group Financial Controller and Head of Investor Relations.

Read profile

Ryan Mahoney Group Financial Controller and Head of Investor Relations

I joined Unite Students in October 2014 as Group Reporting Manager and was promoted to Group Financial Controller in November 2015. I originally applied because the sector interested me and I knew that the business had both an operational wing and a real estate development wing, so I thought that joining would offer an interesting and varied career.

Unite Students is definitely more entrepreneurial in its thinking than I expected, which was perhaps more to do with my perceived image of a FTSE 250 business than Unite. The fact that Unite Students is the leading student accommodation provider means that we’re always setting the bar for attainment and service delivery, and this drives the entrepreneurial spirit.

The business is fast-paced and open to opportunities to improve. At its heart it’s a meritocratic organisation – the people that thrive here are those that are naturally curious to understand the business, and enthusiastic to push forward with ideas to continually improve the way we operate and perform in all areas.

The sector, career opportunities and the people are the three main factors that make Unite Students such a great place to work and stay. If you want to be challenged and develop as an individual, Unite Students will be an amazing partner on that journey.
