Director, Corporate Financial Planning and Analysis

Join Vacatia and Shape the Financial Strategy Behind Our Growth

Vacatia is an innovative hospitality company reinventing the vacation rental and ownership experience across discovery, booking, and stay. We’re building the next generation of travel lifestyle products, blending technology, hospitality, and design to create smarter, more connected experiences for guests, owners, and partners.

We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Director of Corporate FP&A to lead our Financial Planning and Analysis function from end to end. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this leader will oversee budgeting, long-range planning, forecasting, financial modeling, and executive and board-level reporting across our portfolio of approximately 15 properties and corporate operations.

You’ll serve as a strategic finance partner to the President and leaders across Sales, Operations, Legal, People & Culture, Asset Management, and other key functions. You’ll also build and develop the Corporate FP&A team, establish scalable financial processes, and translate complex financial and operational information into clear recommendations that guide business decisions.

If you’re an experienced finance leader who can balance strategic thinking with hands‑on analysis and enjoys building teams, systems, and processes, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on Vacatia’s continued growth.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Partner directly with the CFO, President, executive leadership, and ownership on high-impact business decisions.


• Lead financial planning and strategy across a growing portfolio of approximately 15 properties.


• Build and develop the Corporate FP&A team and establish the foundation for a scalable finance function.


• Influence capital allocation, acquisitions, revenue initiatives, financing structures, and other strategic priorities.


• Create the models, dashboards, reporting, and processes that will shape how Vacatia measures performance and plans for growth.

Your Impact

• Lead annual budgeting, long-range planning, and quarterly reforecasting across Vacatia’s property portfolio and corporate operations.


• Own executive and board-level reporting, translating property-level performance, KPI trends, and financial variances into a clear strategic narrative.


• Partner with the President and CFO on capital allocation, competitive benchmarking, acquisitions, revenue opportunities, and other strategic initiatives.


• Oversee financial analysis of Vacatia’s in-house financing and collections portfolio, including portfolio risk, delinquency, default, credit, and macroeconomic trends.


• Build and continuously improve the FP&A function through team development, reporting automation, dashboarding, data extraction, and scalable planning processes.

What You Bring

• Eight to twelve years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, investment banking, private equity, or a related financial discipline.


• At least two to three years of experience leading teams, developing finance professionals, or building an FP&A function.


• Experience in hospitality, vacation ownership, multi‑site real estate, or another asset-heavy, portfolio-based organization.


• Advanced Excel and financial modeling capabilities, with demonstrated experience building reporting infrastructure and FP&A processes from the ground up; Python or SQL experience is a meaningful advantage.


• Strong executive presence and the ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and credibly to senior leaders, board members, and ownership.


• A bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field is required. An MBA, CFA, or CPA designation and familiarity with consumer finance concepts including securitization, advance rates, FICO-based underwriting, and collections analytics are preferred but not required.
