EXECUTIVE CAREER SERVICES (ECS) JOB OPENING LISTING Boyd Holk, CCM, ECS Chairman tel (617) 266-5600 fax (617) 266-5554 email ecs@necma.org web www.necma.org .. ALPINE COUNTRY CLUB, Demarest, New Jersey GENERAL MANAGER FACILITY DESCRIPTION: The prestigious Alpine Country Club, a member-owned, full-service very private club in Demarest, New Jersey, has an immediate opening for a highly accomplished and service-oriented General Manager. At the behest of a group of local civic leaders, A. W. Tillinghast built Aldecress Golf Course in 1928 on what is now the site of Alpine Country Club. The original name "Aldecress" was derived from the three towns that the course connected: Alpine, Demarest and Cresskill. The course was sold to the membership in 1960 and, since that time, the Club has continued to grow and evolve into one of the premier private country clubs in the Metropolitan New York area. The Club is essentially open most of the year (but without food service for about six weeks in the winter months), during which time the membership actively anticipates and supports a variety of high quality dining, athletic and social events. The Club's facilities feature a challenging, impeccably-maintained golf course that was recently restored to the design and style of Tillinghast's original vision, an accompanying golf practice and instructional facility, a beautiful new Tudor-style clubhouse featuring multiple dining outlets, tennis, swimming, and other personal services and amenities typically found in a first-class private country club. Alpine Country Club is home to 250 full equity families and 380 total families who reside locally and in New York. The membership, whose average age is 59, is affluent, predominantly Jewish and very family-oriented. Their professions are diverse, ranging from doctors and lawyers to Wall Street professionals, real estate owners and business owners. Many vacation in the Hamptons in summer and some own homes in Florida where they spend their winters. The members are knowledgeable about and accustomed to the "five star" food and beverage, attentive service and personal care found in a traditional and exclusive private club setting. New members are warmly welcomed to the Club through a thoughtful, "by invitation" joining process characterized by tradition, sponsorships and care. POSITION DESCRIPTION: The General Manager will attract, develop, lead, appropriately supervise and motivate a top quality staff. He/she reports to the Board of Directors and is responsible for the proper interpretation and fulfillment of Club policies and procedures. The Club Committees (with whom the General Manager regularly interacts) are active, knowledgeable and productive and, as such, their suggestions are valued and appreciated by the Board of Directors as well as the entire membership. CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS: The successful candidate will be a leader who possesses the energy, desire and ability to appropriately interact in a professional and friendly demeanor with the members of the Club and their guests. In his/her leadership role, the new General Manager will establish and maintain excellent lines of communication, create new excitement in and enthusiasm for the Club's services and activities, and set a tone of professional excellence throughout the Club. He/she will be genuinely people-oriented, "visible", a person of "presence", and readily accessible and responsive to the membership. The ideal candidate will also have outstanding service and food and beverage skills, financial/cost control abilities, and organizational and human resource skills. COMPENSATION: The total compensation package is "whatever it takes to secure the right person". This outstanding opportunity is available immediately.
