Finance Director

Behind every great coaster... there's a great spreadsheet.

Ever wondered who keeps the lights on, the rides spinning, and the water slides flowing? That's where you come in. We're looking for a hands-on, numbers-loving finance pro to help power the magic behind our amusement and water parks. This role is equal parts financial wizard, operational partner, and behind-the-scenes hero-working closely with park leadership and corporate finance in a fast-paced, seasonal environment where no two days (or summers) are the same.

If you love turning data into insight, enjoy being close to the action, and don't mind hearing roller coasters in the background while you close the books-keep reading.

• Help build annual operating budgets, capital plans, and long-range financial forecasts

• Hands-on experience with Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable
• Comfort working with corporate finance in a multi-location environment

You'll Love This Role If You're...

• Highly organized with great attention to detail
• Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on accounting work
• Energized by fast-paced, seasonal operations
