Golf Retail & Merchandising Manager

Travis Club is seeking a Golf Retail & Merchandising Manager to lead the Club’s golf retail and merchandising operation during an exciting period of growth.

The Club currently operates through temporary retail locations, including a 50 foot Spartan Golf Shop and Duke’s pop up retail location, with the new Golf House scheduled to open in May 2027. This position will have the unique opportunity to help shape the retail operation leading into that opening and ultimately transition the business into its permanent home.

The Golf Retail & Merchandising Manager will be responsible for merchandise buying, inventory management, vendor relationships, visual merchandising, retail financial performance, special orders, and the overall golf retail experience. The successful candidate will play an integral role in establishing the product mix, vendor portfolio, merchandising standards, operating procedures, and member experience for the new Golf House.

As Travis Club continues to grow and evolve, this role will evolve with it. The ideal candidate is adaptable, highly organized, creative, relationship driven, and energized by the opportunity to help build something from the ground up. This individual must be comfortable working in a dynamic environment where priorities and responsibilities may change as the Club grows.
