The Director of Finance leads the resort’s financial operations, including budgeting, forecasting, accounting, cash management, audits, internal controls, purchasing oversight and financial reporting.

Previous experience in a luxury resort, preferably in an international hospitality group, is highly desirable. The role requires leadership, commercial awareness, accuracy, integrity and the ability to advise the General Manager and department heads. The successful candidate is expected to protect company assets, ensure regulatory compliance, improve profitability and communicate financial information clearly in a multicultural island-resort environment.

Le Méridien properties generally focus on design, culture, cuisine and relaxed, sophisticated travel experiences.

The Maldives offers hospitality opportunities in resorts, hotels, restaurants, diving, marine activities, finance, engineering, wellness and guest services. Resort islands are multicultural workplaces, while local inhabited islands follow Islamic traditions, including modest dress and restrictions on alcohol outside designated resort areas. Life is peaceful and scenic, with beaches, water sports, diving and fishing, although remote resort locations can feel isolated and supplies may cost more. Foreign employees generally require an employer-sponsored work permit and valid employment approval; employers usually arrange the application, accommodation and airport transfer. Relocation packages commonly include staff housing, meals, medical support and return airfare, but conditions vary. Malé is the main commercial hub, while resort islands are reached by speedboat or seaplane. Candidates should confirm visa sponsorship, contract length, working hours, leave, insurance, accommodation and travel arrangements before accepting an offer.
