Overview

The Golf Club at Lansdowne is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, and creative Part-Time Retail Operations Assistant to work directly with the Director of Retail.

The position will focus on receiving and processing merchandise, visual merchandising, inventory organization, vendor communication, and supporting our growing corporate, tournament, and golf outing business.

We are looking for a true assistant who, once trained, can work independently, recognize what needs attention, prioritize responsibilities, and take ownership without requiring daily direction.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• An interest in retail, merchandising, buying, apparel, or corporate merchandise
• Experience with Jonas POS is a plus but not required; training will be provided. Golf knowledge is helpful but not required.
