Goodland Pickleball | Brooklyn New york United states
Expires: July 5, 2026
General Manager — Goodland Golf
Location: Brooklyn
Reports to: Founder / CEO
Compensation: $110-145k base + 10-20% performance bonus + equity participation
Start: 60-90 days before venue opening (pre-opening role through launch and into steady-state operations)
About Goodland
Goodland is building a portfolio of urban activity venues designed to solve a real problem: cities are full of people who want addictive, social, in-person experiences and have nowhere to go on a Tuesday night. We started with pickleball in Brooklyn. We're expanding the platform with a golf simulator and entertainment concept that brings the same operating philosophy — community-led, league-driven, programmatically dense, design-forward — to indoor golf.

What we're looking for
Required
- 5+ years managing a high-volume hospitality, entertainment, or fitness venue ($3M+ revenue)
- Direct P&L ownership experience — you've made labor and cost decisions that hit a budget
- Hired, trained, and managed teams of 15+ people
- Strong member-experience or guest-experience instincts — you've worked in a place where people came back because of how it felt, not just what it sold
- Comfortable in a pre-opening environment with ambiguity and shifting priorities
- New York or major-metro market experience
- Working knowledge of POS, reservations, Trackman IO and CRM systems
- Experience in a competitive/league-driven venue (golf sim, racket club, climbing gym, bowling, esports, fitness studio with progression model)
- Programming experience — you've built a calendar of events, leagues, or member activations and seen what actually retains people
- F&B operations experience, even tangentially
- A real interest in golf (you don't need to be good — but you should care about the product enough to make decisions about it)
- High operational standards and an obsessive eye for the small things
- Comfort being on the floor 4-5 nights a week during the first year
- A read on people — who to hire, who to promote, who to let go
- Founder-friendly: candid, fast, willing to disagree but able to commit
- Someone members and staff want to be around
- Health, dental, vision
- Unlimited play access at all Goodland venues
- A genuine seat at the table — you'll help shape how Goodland scales beyond this venue
