An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an ambitious person with previous club management experience and proven business development, good leadership, team management and people skills.
The Club
Stratford Oaks GC is located in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside just five miles north of Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon. Centred around the modern, majestic 18 hole parkland course, the Club has an 18-bay driving range with Trackman technology complemented with extensive short-game practice facilities and a well-appointed, open plan Clubhouse
The Club was founded in 1993 but became a members’ club in July 2016 when the long-standing owners decided to retire. It has always had a reputation for being friendly and inclusive and takes a modern and professional approach to the management of the golf club.
The Role
The Club has a simple organisational structure, not overburdened with committees, so the successful candidate will report directly to the Chairman. As the Club Manager, you will be responsible for leading the management team to ensure members have a great golf experience whilst continuing to increase membership, build visitor income and develop the Trackman driving range business opportunity.
Although previous experience of golf club management would be an advantage it is equally important to demonstrate sound business skills and good general management ability. This opportunity would suit someone who is looking for an exciting new opportunity and who would be interested in leading the next phase of growth and development at Stratford Oaks Golf Club.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead the management team and employees to build and develop a team that achieves its objectives and provides excellent customer service for members and visitors.
- Manage the sales and marketing to grow income and ensure financial targets are met for membership, visitors and the range.
- Lead initiatives to manage all aspects of membership including retention, satisfaction and renewals.
- Participate in the annual budgeting process and achieve the budget objectives. Report monthly to the Board on key financial and other performance indicators.
- Ensure catering meets its objectives and continuously improves satisfaction ratings for members and visitors.
- Work with the Board to develop and execute longer-term business plans.
- Manage compliance in all required areas including health and safety, data protection and environment.
Remuneration:
We offer a competitive and negotiable salary and benefits package commensurate with the knowledge and experience of the applicant.
Application process:
To apply, candidates should send a letter, in strictest confidence, highlighting your motivation for seeking the post and relevant experience, an up-to-date CV including qualifications, details of your current remuneration and ability to relocate, if necessary.
