Financial Analyst

Sun Peaks is Canada's second largest ski area and has been intentionally developed in accordance with our Master Plan (on our website, Province of BC). The Master Plan philosophy is to strategically evolve our recreational footprint through increased accommodation and enhancements to skier/guest services and infrastructure.

Sun Peaks Resort LLP is a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of Nippon Cable Co. of Japan. As a private entity, our ownership group is committed to the long-term growth and success of Sun Peaks Resort.

This position requires a person who thrives on a diversity of work and challenges, with the ability to shift focus from operational activities to supporting strategic initiatives.

We are seeking a high performer with impeccable attention to detail, but also the ability to think big picture.

This position is ideally suited for someone with a love of the mountains and the desire to live and work in Sun Peaks. If this sounds like the role for you, apply today!
