In a resort group, a few percentage points on food and beverage cost can decide whether a month is profitable. Yas World Resort, a collection of six international hotels on Yas Island, is hiring a Cluster Cost Controller to lead cost control across every business unit, from hotels to beach clubs, marinas and Nurai Island.
About the Role
You would lead cost control across all Yas World Resort business units under Aldar Hospitality policies, protecting F&B and inventory resources, analysing variances, making sure cost reporting is accurate and driving savings that improve profitability. You would own the monthly cost control closing, present F&B cost results and recommendations to the Director of Finance and general managers, and oversee monthly physical inventories for F&B, general stores, housekeeping and engineering. You would also run the twice-weekly food cost flash, keep recipe and standard costing accurate, lead menu engineering and pricing reviews, check supplier invoices, protect POS integrity in Micros Simphony, and support internal and external audits.
Career Impact & Growth Opportunity
You would lead and develop the Assistant Cost Controller and the Storekeeping and Receiving teams across the cluster, and work directly with finance leadership, executive chefs and GMs. The listing does not describe a promotion path, but the role is a clear step toward financial controller or director-level hospitality finance positions.
