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.

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.
