AVP RO Finance - West & Hawaii

About the Team

The Resort Operations Finance team is a dynamic group of Finance and Accounting (F&A) professionals stationed on-site across various resort locations within specific geographic regions. As the Marriott Vacation Club brand expands, the team's footprint evolves to support a growing portfolio of properties. The team's core mission is to ensure financial compliance with management agreements for nonprofit property owners' associations while delivering robust financial reporting, analytics, and performance insights for on-site ancillary business operations.

About the Role

The Associate Vice President (AVP) of Finance serves as the strategic finance leader for multiple properties across one or more regions. This role is distinct in its focus on portfolio-level leadership rather than direct operational management of individual properties. The AVP directly leads and develops Market Directors of Finance (MDOF) and Directors of Finance (DOF), providing governance, strategic direction, and escalation support across the region.

As a proactive senior leader, you will translate complex financial and operational data into actionable insights, enabling timely decisions that optimize business value and manage financial risk. You will champion finance strategies that empower operating teams to deliver products and services that meet or exceed brand expectations while driving profitability, cash flow, and return on investment. Your day-to-day involves setting portfolio-level performance standards, driving a consistent cadence for analytics and forecasting, and ensuring accounting operations remain aligned with Resort Operations priorities.

Through disciplined operating rhythms and clear communication with on-site Finance teams, you will set expectations, monitor progress, and course-correct as needed. The role demands executive-level business partnering to protect the integrity of financial reporting while driving improvements in transparency, standardization, efficiency, and effectiveness. You will act as the senior escalation point for complex financial, compliance, and stakeholder issues, coaching leaders through high-impact decision scenarios.

Hiring Process

Candidates for this senior leadership role will engage in a rigorous selection process designed to assess strategic vision, leadership capability, and cultural fit. The process typically includes:

1. Initial Screening: A conversation with Talent Acquisition to discuss background and role alignment.
2. Executive Interviews: Deep-dive sessions with senior leadership to evaluate strategic thinking and business partnering skills.
3. Leadership Assessment: Discussions focused on team development, change management, and operational governance.
4. Final Review: A concluding interview with key stakeholders to confirm fit and discuss expectations.
