We’re relocating to a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in the vibrant and fast-growing community of Timberlea, just minutes from downtown Halifax. Our new home features an eight-sheet curling rink, a modern entertainment lounge, and a versatile banquet and event space.

We are seeking a forward-thinking General Manager / Promotions Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of our Club and help position it as a premier destination for both curling and community events.

• Develop and execute innovative marketing and promotional strategies to increase event bookings and banquet revenues.
• Foster a welcoming and accessible environment for all members and guests.
• Manage a small team with a hands-on leadership style that promotes collaboration, accountability, and service excellence.

About You:

• You bring proven experience in marketing, promotions, sales, and event operations—ideally within the food and beverage or hospitality industry.
• You have a successful track record of team leadership, preferably in a club or member-based setting.
• You are a strong communicator with a customer-first mindset and a commitment to inclusion and community-building.
• Familiarity with curling or sporting events is an asset, but not required.
