Regional Financial Controller – North Asia

Posted on by Katherine Wyles

We have an excellent opportunity for an experienced multi-site financial controller currently working and contributing to a hotel company’s Asian success.

As Regional Financial controller you will be stepping into a Director-level position at a time of major expansion. This means you will have a direct impact on shaping the financial infrastructure of new properties and influencing regional strategies.

Managing finances across Japan, China, and Thailand brings cultural diversity, unique regulatory environments, and dynamic markets. It’s a great role for someone who thrives in complex, multi-country settings.

This isn’t just hospitality — it’s top-tier luxury. That often means bigger budgets, higher standards, and more visibility, both internally and externally. It’s an excellent platform for building a high-profile career.

Although you will be a senior level employee, you will have come from a hands-on controller level background to really understand the nuts and bolts of the hotels reporting.  At the same time, you will need to rise to the occasion of protecting owner and investor interests. That adds a layer of strategic importance and trust to your responsibilities.

If you’re fluent in Japanese and/or Chinese, this role leverages that skill and puts you in a prime position to communicate effectively with local teams and stakeholders.
