Midwest Family Ski Resorts is seeking a highly analytical and business-minded finance professional to help drive visibility, accountability, and decision-making across our growing portfolio of resort operations.

This role serves as a key bridge between finance and operations by transforming financial and operational data into actionable insights that support planning, budgeting, forecasting, performance management, and strategic decision-making. The position works closely with leadership teams across lodging, mountain operations, food & beverage, guest services, retail, and administrative functions to improve financial visibility and business performance.

This position may be filled at the Analyst, Senior Analyst, or Manager level depending on a candidate's demonstrated skills, analytical capabilities, business partnership experience, and ability to independently drive results.

This may include supporting guest-facing operations, events, parking, food and beverage operations, snow removal efforts, or other resort needs that help maintain exceptional guest experiences and overall business continuity.

Provide financial planning, forecasting, operational analysis, reporting, and decision-support tools while supporting financial accuracy, visibility, accountability, and business performance across all resort operations.
