Job Description

Topgolf is a renowned sports entertainment company that has revolutionized how millions of people experience golf, combining the traditional sport with an innovative venue experience focused on fun, food, and entertainment. As an industry leader, Topgolf delivers a unique social environment where guests can enjoy games, delicious food and beverages, and live events all under one roof. The company operates high-energy, high-volume venues nationally and internationally, making it a prominent destination for guests seeking a vibrant and engaging atmosphere. Topgolf is also recognized as a place where serious careers can be built due to its dynamic environment, growth opportunities, and commitment to excellence.

Topgolf is currently looking to hire an Assistant General Manager who is ready to take on a leadership role that goes beyond support and into ownership of the venue’s operational success. This role is ideal for individuals who are proactive and self-driven, able to anticipate challenges before they impact the team or guests, and capable of holding themselves and others to rigorous standards. The Assistant General Manager at Topgolf will work closely with the General Manager, overseeing various departments including food and beverage, golf services, events, facilities, and guest experience to ensure the venue runs smoothly and efficiently. This position is critical for maintaining high operational standards and driving the business towards greater profitability.

In this role, the Assistant General Manager is not just shadowing leadership but actively leading teams, stepping into the General Manager’s shoes as needed, and making key decisions that affect the venue’s day-to-day operations. The candidate must have a passion for people management, a sharp understanding of business metrics, and the ability to manage sales, expenses, and team performance. The position requires a flexible schedule including evenings, weekends, holidays, and extended hours during peak seasons and special events, reflecting the nature of the entertainment and hospitality industry.

The ideal candidate will have proven experience managing multi-unit operations, preferably within restaurant, hotel, or entertainment venue settings, along with a strong track record of leadership and accountability. Topgolf believes in fostering a culture of fun, teamwork, excellence, courage, and caring, so the Assistant General Manager must embody these core values to support the company’s mission and brand reputation.

This role promises career growth opportunities as it prepares the Assistant General Manager to eventually take charge of their own venue, making it a critical steppingstone for ambitious professionals who aspire to become General Managers in Topgolf’s expanding network of locations. Alongside competitive core competencies such as decision quality, accountability, team building, and driving results, the candidate will also need to meet specific physical requirements that match the demands of a fast-paced, guest-facing entertainment venue. Topgolf offers a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan with team member match, free play, half-price food, and access to a mental well-being platform for those who qualify.
