About The Position

Backed by Callaway Golf and Danny Meyer’s Enlightened Hospitality Investments, Five Iron blends world-class technology with hospitality-driven service across its sports bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues. With 35 locations open and more than 50 in the pipeline worldwide, the brand is expanding its reach while remaining rooted in innovation, inclusivity, and community connection. 5i is not your traditional country club. We aspire to establish a casual, relaxed environment for golfers and non-golfers alike. We are a fun and growing company with an urban vibe. We offer indoor golf simulation, lessons, golf fittings, events, and food and beverage service. We are seeking a Design & Construction Project Manager who will report to the CDO and be primarily responsible for the franchise projects (which are growing aggressively). This person will own the end-to-end new store development process for franchise locations—from early design and pre-construction through construction completion and opening. This role takes the expertise of our existing team (design & construction) and ensures each project is executed correctly and efficiently.
