VP, Finance

Topgolf is a sports entertainment company that has changed how millions of people experience golf — and a genuinely energizing place to build a career. Every year, guests pack our venues for something that is hard to find elsewhere: hitting balls at a target-lined outfield, watching their shot traced in real time on multiple screens, with great food and good company alongside.

With 100+ venues across the globe and proprietary Toptracer technology embedded in our guest experience and licensed to broadcasters and courses worldwide, Topgolf sits at a distinctive intersection: entertainment company, technology platform, and hospitality brand all  are a scaled business with real complexity, real momentum, and meaningful opportunity to improve how we operate and grow.

This is not a back-office finance seat. It’s a front-row role at a company people actually know and genuinely enjoy — one where the work is meaningful, the stakes are real, and you’ll never struggle to explain what your company does at a dinner party.

This is not a traditional FP&A leadership role. We are hiring a VP of Finance to serve as the right hand to the CFO, with full visibility across the business and a mandate to drive performance, improve outcomes, and increase enterprise value in a fast-paced, private equity-backed environment.

This role sits at the center of how Topgolf plans, measures, and improves the business—from venue-level unit economics to enterprise-level capital allocation. You will lead Corporate FP&A, Venues FP&A, and Strategic Planning, and work directly with the CFO, CEO, Board, and sponsors to identify issues early, push for better decisions, and ensure we deliver results.

You will inherit a capable team and a strong foundation — and be expected to raise the bar on what Finance looks like as a business partner. The opportunity is significant. So are the expectations.

• Direct partnership with the CFO on all major decisions
• Exposure to Board, lenders, and PE sponsors
• Ownership of how the business plans, executes, and improves performance
• A clear path to a future CFO role for the right leader
