Senior Analyst - Nightlife Controls

The Nightlife Controls Senior Analyst is a hands-on, detail-oriented financial-controls role that supports the Nightlife Controller in monitoring, validating, and reporting on financially significant activity across Wynn Las Vegas Nightlife venues. Working under the direction of the Nightlife Controller, the Senior Analyst independently performs recurring transaction reviews and exception monitoring, observes venue processes through surveillance footage and other monitoring tools, and supports the calculation and validation of payroll, tips, and commissions. The role also helps confirm that Nightlife payments are processed through approved company systems and supports the Controller with P&L reporting and variance research. The Senior Analyst is expected to work through assigned reviews with limited day-to-day direction, perform first-level analysis, and bring documented findings and recommendations to the Controller. The Controller retains responsibility for final conclusions, further escalation, and overall oversight.

Effective oversight of that activity depends on consistent, detailed review at the transaction level, along with timely follow-up on exceptions.
