Green Grass Sales Director
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have sections in posting: About Us, About The Role, Role Details (Reports to, Location, Schedule), What Success Looks Like, What You’ll Be Responsible For, What You Bring, Bonus Points, What We Offer, WHY BAD BIRDIE.
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we can also use other headings? The instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests these are examples, but we can use other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. ...). Likely we should stick to those headings where appropriate. However we have content like About Us, What Success Looks Like, What You Bring, Bonus Points, What We Offer, WHY BAD BIRDIE. Those may not map exactly. But we could still use for those headings; the instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use for any section heading, but we should follow that pattern.
We need to avoid filler sections. All sections have real content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, skills, benefits we should use lists.
We need to use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit EEO etc. There's no application instructions like "apply here". So fine.
We need to not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Sales Director". We should not put that as heading.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. There's none.
We need to fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. For Role Details: Reports to: Head of Sales, Location: Scottsdale, AZ HQ, Schedule: Full-time, on-site. That's minor metadata; we can put in a
.
We need to avoid Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule is stated: Full-time, on-site. So we could include a Schedule section? The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule, so we could include a Schedule section. Benefits are stated in What We Offer: medical, dental, vision, HSA, 401(k), PTO, holidays, Fairway Fridays, Work From Anywhere days, quarterly events, stocked kitchen, discounted apparel. So we can include Benefits section. Pay is not stated (no salary). So we should not create Pay section.
We need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we may combine some.
Potential sections: About Us (maybe not required but we can include as
About Us). About the Role (maybe combine About The Role and Role Details). Responsibilities (What You’ll Be Responsible For). Requirements/Qualifications (What You Bring + Bonus Points maybe). Benefits (What We Offer). Schedule (maybe include in Role Details). Why Bad Birdie (maybe as a closing section). What Success Looks Like could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Could be a section like "Success Metrics". But we only have allowed headings examples; but we can still use for any heading. However to keep few sections, we could embed Success Looks Like within Responsibilities or as a subsection? But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include as a

Similarly, What You Bring and Bonus Points could be combined into Requirements/Qualifications.

About Us
When Bad Birdie started, we gave golfers something they’d never seen before: a bold printed polo designed to disrupt tradition and invite more people into the game. Today, we’re proud to create premium golf apparel that’s colorful, confident, and playfully rebellious, built so every player can feel good and have a hell of a good time on the course. As we grow, we’re committed to keeping that original energy alive, continuing to challenge what’s possible in golf while respecting the game and welcoming everyone to play their way. We started bold. We’re staying bad. And we’ll keep showing golfers what the game can be.
About the Role
We’re seeking a driven Sales Director to lead Green Grass’s on-course apparel business across two high-profile channels: the Green Grass channel and the PGA Tour. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving, relationship-driven environment - equally comfortable coaching a field sales team on the road and managing the commercial details of a Tour event. You’ll own team performance, budget tracking, business projections, and day-to-day coaching across both pillars, while building the key account relationships that grow the Green Grass brand at every level of the game.
Reports to: Head of Sales • Location: Scottsdale, AZ HQ • Schedule: Full-time, on-site
Responsibilities
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of outside field reps and inside sales reps across the on-course channel.
- Set performance expectations; conduct regular one-on-ones, ride-alongs, and performance check-ins.
- Manage territory assignments, call cycle cadences, and account coverage strategies.
- Execute new door strategy: prospecting private clubs, daily-fee courses, resorts, and management group accounts.
- Build relationships with golf management group contacts, merchandise buyers, and Head Golf Professionals.
- Coach reps on pre-book and at-once selling strategies to maximize sell-through and minimize markdowns.
- Manage and track the Green Grass sales budget, seasonal forecasts, and selling expense budget.
- Analyze sell-through data and open-to-buy trends; deliver regular business updates to leadership.
- Monitor CRM pipeline health; hold reps accountable for activity volume and forecasting accuracy.
- Bring the voice of the green grass customer back to product, planning, and ops.
- Oversee all commercial and logistical elements of PGA Tour event presence: product assortment, delivery, on-site setup, and sell-through.
What Success Looks Like (First 3‑6 Months)
- A prioritized account map is live: top-tier green grass doors, target resorts, and management groups ranked by revenue potential, with a clear plan and call cadence for each.
- Sell‑in for the next seasonal line is locked at target accounts; line reviews completed, orders booked, and ship windows confirmed in partnership with planning.
- Tour event operations assessed firsthand; logistics, assortment, and sell‑through processes understood and improvement opportunities already in motion.
- A regular rhythm of tournament and head pro programming calendared at top doors and tied to sell‑through reporting.
- Key relationships with management group contacts established and active.
- Reps aligned on expectations; CRM hygiene clean, call and zone cadences set, pipeline accountability in motion.
- New door strategy live and producing results; private clubs, daily‑fee courses, resorts, and management group accounts being prospected with a clear and repeatable playbook.
- Pre‑book and at‑once selling strategies coached consistently and showing up in sell‑through performance.
- The Green Grass sales budget and seasonal forecast tracked, accurate, and delivered to leadership on a predictable schedule.
- Leadership can ask where the Green Grass business stands at any moment and get a clear, confident answer without prep.
- At least one new strategic partnership, management group, resort chain, or regional PGA section signed and generating revenue.
Requirements
- 7+ years of B2B sales experience in premium apparel, footwear, or golf — with at least 3 years in a Director, Key Account, or Sales Manager seat where you owned the number, not just supported it.
- Deep knowledge of golf and the green grass industry; know the difference between a head pro and a buyer, have walked a PGA Show floor, and can name the management groups that actually move volume.
- Proven ability to coach both outside (field) and inside sales representatives.
- Experience managing sales budgets, forecasts, and multi‑channel business projections; strong understanding of the golf on‑course channel.
- Experience supporting event‑based business, including logistics and on‑site execution.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills with a professional presence in the field and Tour event settings.
- Genuine connection to golf: you play, you watch, you get the culture, and you understand why bold style on a Sunday tee box matters.
- Familiarity with PGA Tour event operations or Tour‑level retail environments is a plus.
- Established relationships with PGA Professionals, golf management groups, or Tour event personnel preferred.
- Valid driver’s license; ability to travel up to 40%.
Bonus Points
- Worked in golf apparel or specialty retail; know how pro shops buy, merchandise, and what makes a brand earn floor space over a competitor.
- Managed both a field sales team and an event‑based business at the same time.
- Understand that the skills required to run a Tour event and coach a rep through a pre‑book conversation are very different, and you're equally sharp at both.
- Existing relationships with PGA Professionals, golf management groups, or Tour event personnel.
- Built a sales territory from the ground up: prospected new doors, developed the pitch, closed the account, and handed it to a rep you trained to own it.
- Been inside a CRM overhaul or built a sales reporting cadence that leadership actually used to make decisions.

for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit EEO etc. There's no application instructions like "apply here". So fine. We need to not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Sales Director". We should not put that as heading. We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. There's none. We need to fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. For Role Details: Reports to: Head of Sales, Location: Scottsdale, AZ HQ, Schedule: Full-time, on-site. That's minor metadata; we can put in a
. We need to avoid Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Schedule is stated: Full-time, on-site. So we could include a Schedule section? The instruction says never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule, so we could include a Schedule section. Benefits are stated in What We Offer: medical, dental, vision, HSA, 401(k), PTO, holidays, Fairway Fridays, Work From Anywhere days, quarterly events, stocked kitchen, discounted apparel. So we can include Benefits section. Pay is not stated (no salary). So we should not create Pay section. We need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we may combine some. Potential sections: About Us (maybe not required but we can include as
About Us). About the Role (maybe combine About The Role and Role Details). Responsibilities (What You’ll Be Responsible For). Requirements/Qualifications (What You Bring + Bonus Points maybe). Benefits (What We Offer). Schedule (maybe include in Role Details). Why Bad Birdie (maybe as a closing section). What Success Looks Like could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Could be a section like "Success Metrics". But we only have allowed headings examples; but we can still use for any heading. However to keep few sections, we could embed Success Looks Like within Responsibilities or as a subsection? But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include as a
under Responsibilities. Similarly, What You Bring and Bonus Points could be combined into Requirements/Qualifications. We need to use lists for duties/requirements/benefits. Thus final HTML could be:
About Us
When Bad Birdie started, we gave golfers something they’d never seen before: a bold printed polo designed to disrupt tradition and invite more people into the game. Today, we’re proud to create premium golf apparel that’s colorful, confident, and playfully rebellious, built so every player can feel good and have a hell of a good time on the course. As we grow, we’re committed to keeping that original energy alive, continuing to challenge what’s possible in golf while respecting the game and welcoming everyone to play their way. We started bold. We’re staying bad. And we’ll keep showing golfers what the game can be.
About the Role
We’re seeking a driven Sales Director to lead Green Grass’s on-course apparel business across two high-profile channels: the Green Grass channel and the PGA Tour. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-moving, relationship-driven environment - equally comfortable coaching a field sales team on the road and managing the commercial details of a Tour event. You’ll own team performance, budget tracking, business projections, and day-to-day coaching across both pillars, while building the key account relationships that grow the Green Grass brand at every level of the game.
