About The Good Golf Company The Good Golf Company (TGGC) is a fast-growing acquisition and operations platform focused on acquiring freehold golf clubs across the United Kingdom, refurbishing them, and turning them into well-run, financially sustainable venues. We are not a traditional golf operator — we move quickly, think commercially, and measure everything. We have recently completed our first acquisitions — Walmersley Golf Club in Greater Manchester and Wanstead Golf Club — and have an active pipeline of further clubs in various stages of due diligence. Our model is simple: acquire underperforming clubs, fix the fundamentals, grow revenues and memberships, and hold quality freehold assets. This is the right moment to join. The platform is being built in real time and this role will help shape how it operates at scale. The Role This is a senior operational leadership position with direct accountability for the day-to-day running of a growing portfolio of golf clubs. The Group Club Operations Manager will be the bridge between board-level strategy and club-level execution — translating TGGC's vision into operational reality across multiple sites simultaneously. The successful candidate will inherit clubs that are underperforming and be expected to leave them materially better. They will build and manage club management teams, own the P&L at group level, and drive revenue and membership growth across the portfolio. This role reports directly to the COO and the Board, with performance that is visible, measurable, and rewarded accordingly. The ideal candidate has spent years making multi-site leisure or golf operations work and knows there is a better, faster, more commercial way to do it. This is the opportunity to prove it. Core Responsibilities • Overall operational leadership of TGGC's club portfolio — currently two clubs and growing, with full accountability for day-to-day performance across all sites • Direct line management of individual club managers at each site, with responsibility for hiring, developing, and holding to account the management teams across the group, • P&L ownership at group level — reviewing and driving performance against monthly management accounts, identifying and acting on variances, • Revenue growth across all channels — membership, green fees, F&B, corporate, pro shop, and academy — with clear targets and personal accountability for delivery, • Membership strategy and growth — setting and driving membership targets at each club, overseeing pricing, retention, and the member experience, • Course and facility standards Performance Measures This role carries genuine accountability. Performance will be assessed against the following metrics, reviewed monthly at board level: 1. Revenue Growth Total revenue growth across the portfolio year-on-year, broken down by club and by channel 1. Membership Growth Net membership growth at each club — new joiners, retention rate, and average membership yield, working closely with sales and marketing. 1. Club P&L Performance EBITDA margin and P&L performance against budget at each club and across the group 1. Member Satisfaction Member NPS and satisfaction scores across each club, with clear improvement targets 1. Integration Delivery Speed and quality of new club integrations against the TGGC 100-day playbook 1. Team Performance Stability, quality, and development of club management teams across the portfolio The Ideal Candidate Essential Experience and Qualifications: • Multi-site operational management — experience running at least 3 golf clubs or leisure venues simultaneously, • Full P&L accountability at group or regional level, • Proven track record of driving membership or revenue growth in a leisure or golf environment, • Direct line management of site-level management teams, • Experience in golf club operations, either directly or in adjacent leisure and hospitality, • Strong financial literacy — comfortable with budgets, forecasts, and management accounts, • Willingness and ability to travel regularly across the UK portfolio Character and Approach: • Commercially minded — thinks in revenue and margin, not just activity, • Fast and decisive — does not wait for permission to act on problems or opportunities, • Strong people manager — builds good teams and holds them accountable without micromanaging, • Hands-on where needed — not precious about getting involved at site level, • Clear communicator — confident presenting to a board and equally comfortable on the floor of a clubhouse, • Resilient — comfortable with the pace and ambiguity of a high-growth business, • Genuinely passionate about golf and what well-run clubs look like The ideal candidate profile is a regional or area manager from a multi-site golf or leisure operator — for example David Lloyd, a hospitality chain, Clubhaus, or a PGA-affiliated multi-club group — who is looking for the ownership and upside that a high-growth platform can offer. Why Join TGGC TGGC is at the beginning of something significant. We are building the most active acquirer of freehold golf clubs in the UK, backed by real capital and a genuine passion for the sport. This role will grow materially as the portfolio grows. The person we hire now will have shaped the operating model, built the culture, and created the template by the time we have ten clubs in the portfolio. That is a genuinely rare career opportunity in golf. We move fast, we are honest about what we do not yet know, and we back the right people properly — with compensation, autonomy, and equity participation for those who earn it.

We do this through a supportive culture, flexible working, perks and continuous commitment to learning and development. See more on this below.

That includes race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, family or parental status. We want to hear from you! WHY IS THIS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY? (why we’re even hiring) Over the past seven years, we’ve grown in size and reputation extremely quickly by hiring talented people who truly care about getting results for the businesses we partner with, then providing them with the tools, support and training they need to excel. We’re a fast growing team of 50+ that packs a punch, currently on pace to grow +30% again within the next 12 months. We’re looking for someone who wants to join a quickly growing, well organised people-first business at an incredibly exciting and pivotal time of growth, whilst accelerating their own career. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast growing company - without all the pitfalls of typical ‘startups’ - and personally impact the growth of businesses that are making a real difference. OUR CLIENTS 99% of our clients are direct to consumer eCommerce brands and typically fall somewhere into the below categories: Fashion, apparel, jewellery FMCG Plants, greetings & misc. gifts Sports & fitness Subscriptions Many are leading global brands. Some are bootstrapped, founder owned & run. They all trust us to significantly impact their growth through performance creative.. Importantly, we ensure every client we sign is thoroughly vetted before we even offer to take them on. It’s important to us to grow the right way, with clients who we genuinely want to work with. Here’s our criteria: They’ve got to pass the “lunch test”. They’ve got to be genuine, friendly people to work with. Would we want to hang out or go and have lunch with them? Great relationships breed great work, and we want to give you a supportive environment to work and grow in, not clients who are unreasonable. They’ve got to have a product(s) and brand we can get excited about as a team. Nothing worse than working on a brand you don’t believe in. They’ve got to want to be led and challenged creatively. We partner with businesses to help them think differently, grow faster, and build lasting brand value. If they fit this criteria and we want to work together, then we’ll go ahead, but only if we’re sure it will be a strong partnership and only if we’re confident we have the capacity and resource in the team to make it happen. Just some of our clients (Paid Social, Google Search, Creative, Data Science): Antler Pangaia Smalls HelloFresh My Sunday Ski Pom Pom London ...amongst others OUR TEAM We’ve gone against the typical agency model and hired an extremely senior team first.

Who we are: A dedicated tech recruitment agency founded in 2014 by Directors with over 40 years combined experience, we partner with a plethora of household names UK wide & beyond to source top level technologists across every industry specialism. The role: After a record breaking year and a move into our shiny new offices overlooking the city, we are looking to grow the team once more. We're not one of the big boys so you won't be part of a 10 person intake, we can dedicate the time and resources you will need as an individual to make yourself a success in what is a hugely competitive industry. We can also offer a wide choice of market specialisms under the direct mentoring of our experienced leadership team. You will be responsible for expanding our service offering along the lines of your chosen market, bringing on board new clients and making sure they're serviced to the levels we have become renowned for. You'll get plenty of help along the way and we pride ourselves on avoiding the churn & burn approach to expansion - if you're dedicated & committed, we'll be with you all the way. So what are we looking for? If someone could write the recipe for perfect results every time when it comes to hiring trainee recruiters, they would very rich indeed. Successful recruiters come from many a background but most have experience in some sort of customer service or sales role whether people interaction plays a big part. What you will need though is a commitment and dedication to delivering for your clients whilst being driven to achieve, and surpass, targets set. With this should be a genuine thirst for both personal and financial success in what is one of the most competitive industries you can imagine. We only recruit for highly sought after technical staff and competition is tough, we know it’s not easy but nothing that's worth the reward ever is! As technology is our sector of choice, you will also need to develop a deep understanding of your chosen speciality - Google can always help but a few weekends with your head buried in the right kind of book won’t go amiss. Traits you will need to bring: • Communication - strong written and verbal communication skills are a must as you establish and build relationships across the industry, • Self-Promotion - more than ever in the connected world, your ability to promote your personal brand is an essential part of what we do. Via Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, personal and company blogs etc, you will be reaching out to prospects and must have a firm grasp of how to market yourself with confidence, • Organisation – with numerous clients and candidates seeking your expertise, you will need to master the art of multiple plate spinning, • Initiative – an ability to think on your feet and resolve any issues is vital., • Work ethic – it goes without saying in any role but you get out what you put in. This is especially true in recruitment., • Resilience – things go wrong in recruitment, often! You’re representing people and those people have a tendency to change their minds - often to your detriment. Shout, scream, sulk a little……..then pick yourself up and go again. And what you can expect: • Comprehensive training in all aspects of the role – both “classroom” and “on the job”, • Uncapped, market leading commission scheme with no thresholds and quarterly incentives to progress, • Team holiday incentives – last year saw the team visit Las Vegas, • Clothing allowance, • 25 days holiday, birthday off & WFH options after probation, • Access to marketing lead tech & Linkedin recruiter account, • Company pension scheme, • Awesome Altrincham centre office location overlooking the markets with pool table, table tennis, beer fridge & underground parking (also available to use at the weekend, very handy for shopping!), • Relaxed, friendly culture – we’re competitive but we’re not Wolf of Wall Street Curious? You probably have lots of questions but If the above genuinely sounds like the kind of challenge that excites we would love to hear from you. Drop us a line with your latest CV and we can arrange an initial, informal chat.
