ExplorUS is a family-owned company with nearly 30 years of experience operating National, State, and local park concessions. ExplorUS is seeking a highly motivated and experienced Director of Finance and Administration to oversee key operational functions related to insurance, treasury, licensing and permitting, and fleet management within our concessionaire services business. Reporting to the CFO, this role is crucial in ensuring the company's compliance, financial health, and efficient operations across all locations.

Over the years we have worked to enhance, elevate, and complement the visitors’ experience at each park, landmark, and property we operate. At ExplorUS, we focus on finding small to medium-sized park operations where we can make a large difference. We take great pride in acquiring underperforming park concessions, turning them around, and bringing them up to and beyond the expectations of our park partners and park visitors. 

Our success in this industry is tied to the simple belief that we do not consider park concessions to be just another business. We are stewards of the natural, historic, and cultural resources of the parks in which we work and are committed to providing a level of hospitality that honors those resources.
