Lodge Controller

Collaborating with businesses to create an authentic workplace culture

Permanent Role | Work Onsite | Live Onsite | $100,000 – $120,000

Flockhill Lodge is New Zealand’s premier alpine luxury lodge, located just 90 minutes’ drive from Christchurch. As we head into our busy second summer season , we’re seeking a hands‑on hospitality savvy Lodge Controller to join our Lodge leadership team and play a key role in supporting operational and financial excellence.

Staff accommodation is available onsite.

About the Role

The Lodge Controller reports directly to the Lodge General Manager and works closely alongside our Assistant General Manager & Heads of Department. You’ll be just as comfortable getting into the detail of stocktakes and costings as you are developing robust monthly reporting and delivering meaningful insights to support decision‑making.

This is a highly collaborative role with a strong operational focus — a chance to blend financial discipline with the realities of hospitality service delivery. You’ll also have one direct report (Assistant Accountant) based in Christchurch.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with Heads of Department on stocktakes, costings, and inventory control
• Develop and deliver accurate monthly reporting, analysis, and commentary
• Ensure compliance with internal controls, accounting standards, and tax requirements
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow reporting
• Provide financial insights to identify opportunities for operational improvement
• Oversee accounts payable / receivable, guest billing, and payroll functions
• Manage and mentor one direct report (Assistant Accountant, Christchurch‑based)
