Sales Director to Managing Director Golf Industry

New Yesterday

Overview

The Opportunity Lead a well-established, reputation-led business providing a technology-enabled solution for golf operators. The product is proven and commercially well received. Your mandate is simple: take full control of the UK operation, scale it, and develop EMEA over the next five years.

You'll own the plan, the numbers and the team — a genuine blank canvas with Board backing to build for scale.

What You'll Do

  • Hold full P&L and overall accountability for UK performance; set and deliver the commercial plan.
  • Lead sales and operations day to day; shape structure, process and cadence; hire and develop the commercial team.
  • Drive growth through direct sales, partnerships and key accounts; open doors across the golf ecosystem (operators, venues, brands, channels).
  • Expand into EMEA with a phased go-to-market (market mapping, channel strategy, early lighthouse wins).
  • Report to the Board; deliver agreed milestones tied to bonus and potential equity.

About you

  • A track record of winning and scaling in golf (e.g., B2B solutions, services, products).
  • Proven P&L ownership, planning and execution; comfortable building process from the ground up.
  • Credible with senior stakeholders across golf (operators, brands, distributors, groups).
  • You bring structure, focus and a long-term business plan — and you're happy rolling up sleeves to make it happen.

What's on offer

  • Up to £100,000 base (DOE) + benefits + performance-related bonus
  • Equity opportunity linked to growth milestones
  • Hybrid working with high autonomy
  • A proven offering, strong reputation and the freedom to take it to the next level
