MOUNT VERNON COUNTRY CLUB BY THE NUMBERS:
GENERAL MANAGER/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER (GM/COO) - POSITION OVERVIEWThe General Manager/COO has full responsibility for all aspects of operations at Mount Vernon Country Club, effectively managing all resources and reporting to the Board of Directors and the Club President. The GM/COO will lead the management team, directly supervising the CFO, Clubhouse Manager, Chef, Membership Director (position currently open), Head Golf Professional (search currently underway), Golf Course Superintendent, and Facilities Manager. The GM/COO will establish annual goals with direct reports and monitor progress through the year to hold them accountable in their areas of responsibility. The GM/COO will indirectly supervise all employees of the club while promoting a positive, engaging, and highly competent service culture in all operations.
The GM/COO is expected to be an interactive “thought partner” with the Board and Committees, working closely with both groups as collectively they make decisions and set strategic direction for the long-term well-being of the membership. The club has a Strategic Plan in place and the new GM/COO will be responsible for keeping the board and club on track toward plan goals.
Like many clubs, Mount Vernon Country Club has many new, younger members with families, and the balance of tradition with relevance to today's member needs and expectations is a critical success factor. Taking the club into the future in a thoughtful way is a major goal.
Additionally, the new GM/COO must be professional and highly respectful in his/her personal style, demeanor, and presence, and someone who recognizes and is comfortable interacting with all demographics of members, staff, and other constituents who contribute to the success of the Club; name recognition is a foundation of such success and this style must be a core competency of the top executive.
Transparency, honesty, and direct feedback are highly valued. Attention to detail and having necessary and appropriate follow-up skills are important personal characteristics. A proven, thoughtful “listener” is desired, as well as someone who is highly approachable, appreciative of input, and able to appropriately “filter” such input to implement the Club's goals and objectives.
