Director of Finance

Grand View Lodge is looking for a seasoned hospitality finance leader to serve as Director of Finance; a critical partner to the Managing Director and a key contributor to the property's overall success. You'll own the full scope of resort accounting and finance, from budget development and financial reporting to insurance programs, team development, and cross-departmental collaboration. This is a highly visible, hands-on role that requires both technical financial expertise and the kind of leadership presence that earns trust across operational teams.

For the right person, it's also a role with real runway: broad exposure to all aspects of the business and a clear path to corporate-level opportunities within Cote Hospitality.

For over 100 years, Cote Hospitality has crafted transformative guest experiences across world-class resorts and camps. At Grand View Lodge, that means exceptional wellness woven into a full resort lifestyle, golf, dining, events, and more, all grounded in our Cote Cares culture of belonging, respect, and shared purpose. We're invested in your growth here: this role comes with real opportunity to advance and expand your skills within our Sales department.
