With 671 guest rooms, multiple restaurants and bars, extensive meeting and event space, and enough moving parts to keep even the most organized spreadsheet on its toes, this is not a role for someone who enjoys a quiet ledger.

  • Analyze labor, purchasing, inventory, and operational costs to identify opportunities and risks.
  • Ensure financial statements are accurate, timely, and GAAP-compliant.
  • Develop and mentor a talented finance team.
  • Participate in strategic planning and help shape the direction of the resort.
Qualifications

You'll Be Successful Here If You...

  • Love spreadsheets but can still hold a conversation.
  • Think "forecasting" is exciting.
  • Can explain a variance without causing panic.
  • Know the difference between being cost-conscious and being cheap.
  • Believe that every successful operation starts with strong financial discipline.
  • Can walk into an Executive Committee meeting with confidence and leave everyone understanding the numbers.

As a valued member of the CoralTree team, you'll receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

  • Group medical, dental, vision, life, and disability benefits.
  • Participation in a pre-tax flexible benefit plan for healthcare and dependent care reimbursement.
  • An employee assistance program.
  • Paid time off/sick time.
  • Participation in a 401(k) plan with a company match.
  • Team member free room nights program.

Join us in creating unforgettable experiences for our guests, building vibrant communities, and shaping the future of travel and hospitality.
