General Manager | Royal Norwich Golf Club
Norwich, NR9 5JZ | Full time
£Six-figure package (including basic and bonus) commensurate with experience
Royal Norwich Golf Club is set within 350 acres of stunning heritage parkland, home to an internationally acclaimed golf course and academy, a busy programme of social events and dining. We have significantly invested in the club over the years, and we are now looking for an experienced golf club General Manager to lead our day-to-day operations and take the club forward.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who wants real ownership — developing strategy, driving revenue, leading a strong senior team, and delivering an outstanding experience for members and guests across golf, clubhouse and events. You'll report directly to the Chair and Board, and be the visible, accountable face of Royal Norwich day to day.
