The Minute Man National Historical Park manages the North Bridge Battleground area. Concord today fosters the arts, having a chorus, orchestra, band, theater companies, two arts centers, museum, historically significant houses, and a center for the performing arts. Education is a community priority with over 80% of Concord's budget dedicated to education. Houses of worship represent many denominations. This is one of the country's top quality-of-life communities and sits just 20 minutes from Boston. Convenient to New England's finest recreational, cultural, historic and academic facilities. Nashawtuc Country Club is a casually elegant, family-oriented private club with a diverse membership. Age of members is trending lower. This club uniquely enjoys a long wait list and no homes on the golf course. The board of directors of this fine, traditional country club is fully committed to the Chief Operating Officer concept. Club is open 6 days per week, 11 months per year. POSITION DESCRIPTION: The GM/COO reports directly to the Board of Directors through its President and is, per the club's by-laws, responsible for all day-to-day management of this family-friendly private club. The board sets policy and philosophy; the COO implements. The club is proud of its many long term employes, some over 30 years. A players' coach type COO will organize and mobilize the team toward a vision of member service, fiscal responsibility, a consistent member experience and updated facilities. S/he is a credible, club management professional capable of serving as a resource to the board. Search America's board-approved job description for this search will be attached to the successful candidate's employment agreement and will be used as the same criteria for periodic on-the-job performance evaluation.

Skills must include F&B, administration, renovation, instituting an esprit de corps, a secure working environment and training of staff. S/he must be able to manage down as well as up as s/he guides the board and committees. This position is less demanding of hands-on management and more focused on leadership. We are seeking a confident general, not a sergeant; a charismatic people-person and all that implies. Job-hoppers who have changed jobs every 2 years need not apply.
