About The Position

The Nightlife Controls Senior Analyst is a hands-on financial-controls role supporting the Nightlife Controller in monitoring, validating, and reporting financially significant activity across Wynn Las Vegas Nightlife venues. Under the Controller’s direction, the Senior Analyst independently performs recurring transaction reviews and exception monitoring, observes venue processes using surveillance footage and other monitoring tools, and supports the calculation and validation of payroll, tips, and commissions. The role also helps verify that Nightlife payments are processed through approved company systems and supports P&L reporting and variance research. The Senior Analyst completes assigned reviews with limited day-to-day direction, conducts first-level analysis, and presents documented findings and recommendations to the Controller, who retains responsibility for final conclusions, further escalation, and overall oversight. The role provides consistent day-to-day monitoring of Nightlife financial activity, supports accurate and policy-aligned compensation and payment processes, identifies unusual or unsupported transactions, and gives the Controller reliable analysis for reporting and decision-making. Work takes place in both a standard office environment and Nightlife venues and includes recurring deadline-driven payroll and month-end reporting work. The position requires work outside standard business hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays. In-venue conditions may be loud, crowded, low-light, and alcohol-service oriented.
