About the Role

A premier outdoor event property and clay shooting venue in the Sumterville area is seeking a hands-on, relationship-driven General Manager to lead daily operations, elevate the guest experience, and guide a growing team. This is an exceptional role for a leader who thrives in hospitality, event management, and service-driven environments.

The ideal candidate is an excellent communicator, strong operator, and approachable leader who can connect naturally with a wide range of guests—including families, charitable organizations, seasoned outdoorsmen, and business clientele. We are looking for someone highly organized, people-centric, and committed to creating an environment where families, businesses, and community groups can gather, connect, and enjoy meaningful experiences.

The organization operates on values rooted in faith, hospitality, service, and community impact. Our faith and desire to make a difference in the local community guides us as we seek to create a great atmosphere for connection and fun.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is a chance to lead a uniquely mission-driven property where families, businesses, and community organizations come together to enjoy meaningful, memorable experiences. The owner has invested significantly in upgrades and improvements, and the incoming General Manager will have the opportunity to guide the next chapter of growth.

If you are a people-focused leader who loves hospitality, enjoys the outdoors, and thrives in a dynamic event-driven environment, we encourage you to apply.
