Director of Finance

Davidson Hospitality Group, Midway, UT, United States


Nestled in the scenic Wasatch Mountains in Midway, Homestead is a historic, reimagined four‑season destination set across nearly 190 acres of breathtaking natural beauty. Known for its iconic geothermal crater, championship golf course, and year‑round outdoor adventure, the resort offers a unique blend of heritage charm and modern hospitality. With newly renovated accommodations, diverse dining experiences, and close proximity to world‑class skiing, hiking, and fly fishing, Homestead is both a relaxing retreat and an adventure hub—creating an inspiring environment for hospitality professionals to grow, innovate, and deliver memorable guest experiences.

Overview

Homestead Resort is in the midst of a full‑scale transformation, making this a unique opportunity for a Director of Finance who thrives in a dynamic, evolving environment. With a multi‑year renovation underway and a phased reopening through 2027, this role will play a key part in shaping the financial strategy of a reimagined, mixed‑use resort.

  • Develop and execute financial strategies that support a phased reopening and long‑term growth

  • Ability to operate both strategically and tactically in an evolving environment
  • Strong financial acumen, analytical skills, and attention to detail
  • Proven leadership skills with the ability to mentor and develop a team
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Opportunity to help shape the financial future of a historic, fully reimagined resort
  • Exposure to a unique property with diverse revenue streams and ownership structures
  • Located in a high‑growth, year‑round destination near top ski markets
  • Work alongside a leadership team driving significant investment and transformation
