The Cluster Assistant Finance Manager supports financial operations across participating resort properties, helping oversee budgeting, forecasting, month-end closing, financial reporting, internal controls, cash management, audits and compliance with Marriott policies and Japanese regulations. Candidates are expected to have a degree or equivalent experience in finance, accounting or hospitality finance, with strong knowledge of accounting principles and financial systems. Hotel or resort experience, leadership ability, attention to detail and excellent communication skills are highly desirable. Familiarity with Japanese accounting practices and business-level Japanese and English may be advantageous. The successful candidate should be organized, discreet, analytical and comfortable working with multiple departments in a seasonal luxury-resort environment.
Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is a luxury mountain resort in Niseko, Hokkaido, operated under the Marriott International portfolio. The property combines Ritz-Carlton service standards with the distinctive character of Japan’s northern landscape and local culture. It is known for premium accommodation, ski access, dining, wellness facilities and highly personalized guest experiences. Niseko attracts international visitors throughout the winter ski season and increasingly during summer for hiking, golf, cycling and nature-based travel. As part of a global hospitality group, the resort offers exposure to international operating standards, structured finance processes and multicultural teams. The cluster finance position supports accurate financial control and commercial decision-making across resort operations, making it suitable for an experienced hospitality accountant seeking a leadership-track role in a high-end seasonal destination.
Japan offers opportunities in hotels, restaurants, tourism, finance, technology, education, healthcare and skilled trades. Hokkaido, where Niseko is located, is especially strong in resorts, winter sports, food production and international hospitality. Japanese workplaces value punctuality, teamwork, respect, professionalism and careful attention to detail, while many resort teams are multicultural. Life in Niseko is scenic and active, with skiing, hiking, hot springs and excellent food, but winters are cold, housing can be limited and public transport outside major areas is less frequent. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work visa matching their duties; the company normally supports the Certificate of Eligibility process. Applicants should confirm visa eligibility, contract terms, accommodation, tax, health insurance and seasonal work conditions before relocating. Japan requires registration after arrival, and practical Japanese language ability is helpful for daily life even when English is used at work.
