• Compliance & Security: Enforce strict adherence to internal policies and regulatory standards (including CNGC, IRS, and OHRC); collaborate with Security, Surveillance, and Accounting to investigate variances or suspicious activity.
• Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Work seamlessly with interacting departments to balance business needs, ensure equipment efficiency (ATMs, check cashing, ticket redemption, cash advance tools), and maintain operational flow.
• Team Development & Staffing: Hire, schedule, train, and mentor department staff to build institutional knowledge, drive performance, and support succession planning.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify operational bottlenecks and assist in implementing streamlined, efficient workflow processes.

Qualifications

• Education & Experience: Associate’s degree combined with at least 1 year of directly related cage, vault, or financial management experience (or an equivalent combination of education and hands‑on experience).

• Technical & Analytical Aptitude: Strong decision‑making and problem‑solving skills, with proficiency in basic office tech and standard business software (Excel, Word, Outlook).
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to interact professionally with guests, team members, and executive leadership.
• Regulatory Licensing: Ability to obtain and maintain valid licensing through the appropriate tribal gaming authority (Cherokee Nation Gaming Commission).
• Driver's License: Must possess a valid driver’s license.
