Job description

ABOUT TOPGOLF

Topgolf is a sports entertainment company that has changed how millions of people experience golf and where you can build a serious career. Our venues are high-energy, high-volume environments where performance matters and results are visible. Every day, we bring together golf, food and beverages, events, and entertainment into one experience that keeps guests coming back.

WHAT WE’RE SEEKING

Do you see operations as the foundation that makes every great guest experience possible? Are you the person who spots the process that is slowing the team down and fixing it before it becomes a pattern?

We are looking for a Front of House Operations Manager who combines operational precision with genuine hospitality instinct. Someone who can manage systems, workflows, and staffing while never losing sight of the fact that it all exists to serve the guest. Efficiency and experience are not in conflict. In your hands, they reinforce each other.

If you believe great operations are what make great hospitality repeatable, this is the role for you.

THE ROLE

The Front of House Operations Manager leads both the Guest Services and Food & Beverage teams in delivering best-in-class service and hospitality across the entire front of house. This is a merged leadership role responsible for two of the most guest-facing parts of the Topgolf experience.

This role is accountable for hiring, scheduling, coaching, and developing team members across both functions, and for managing all operations related to game and bay experiences, food and beverage service, guest safety, retail, and leagues. The Front of House Operations Manager also carries general venue operational responsibilities and ensures none of that ever comes at the expense of the guest experience.
