JOB DETAILS:

Four Seasons is powered by our people. We are a collective of individuals who crave to become better, to push ourselves to new heights and to treat each other as we wish to be treated in return. Our team members around the world create amazing experiences for our guests, residents, and partners through a commitment to luxury with genuine heart. We know that the best way to enable our people to deliver these exceptional guest experiences is through a world-class employee experience and company culture.

At Four Seasons, we believe in recognizing a familiar face, welcoming a new one and treating everyone we meet the way we would want to be treated ourselves. Whether you work with us, stay with us, live with us or discover with us, we believe our purpose is to create impressions that will stay with you for a lifetime. It comes from our belief that life is richer when we truly connect to the people and the world around us.

Join us deep in the heart of the world’s most celebrated wildlife reserves, where the Big Five – the lion, the leopard, the buffalo, the elephant and the rhinoceros – run free on the endless, untamed landscape. Perched on a series of elevated platforms and walkways, our Lodge sits next to an animal watering hole, where you can watch a family of elephants stop for their morning drink. Nestled in the heart of Central Serengeti amid wide-open plains, our Lodge is just a 45-minute drive from the Seronera Airstrip, accessible by connecting flights from three main airports within Tanzania. This beautiful lodge opened under the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts family in December 2012, and has 77 rooms including 12 suites and 5 villas, 3 stunning Food and Beverage venues, our unique Discovery Centre offering an interactive experience where you can learn about the wildlife, history and people of the Serengeti, Kijana Kids Club, a spa with 6 free-standing treatment pavilions offering bespoke rituals and treatments that celebrate Africa’s magic and mystique, fitness center and a dedicated team bringing your magical wildlife safaris experiences to life.

At Four Seasons, we believe our greatest asset is our people. We are committed to developing talent from within and creating opportunities for our employees to grow their careers while living our Golden Rule and demonstrating our Four Seasons behaviours.

About the Role

Reporting to the Assistant Director of Finance, the Accounting Manager will play a key role in safeguarding the financial integrity, accuracy and compliance of the Lodge’s financial operations.

The Accounting Manager will work closely with Finance, People & Culture and operational leaders to ensure payroll is processed accurately and on time, statutory and tax obligations are properly managed, reconciliations are completed, and strong financial controls are consistently maintained.

Beyond technical accounting, this role requires sound judgement, integrity and partnership. The successful candidate will support the development of the Finance team, strengthen processes and controls, and provide accurate financial information that enables effective business decisions.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced finance professional who is ready to take greater ownership and continue developing their leadership career within Four Seasons.
