Job Description

We are currently seeking a Shops Team Leader to join our retail team on a permanent basis. This is a hands-on leadership role, supporting the Shops Manager in overseeing a team of Sales Associates and Visual Merchandising Associates across at least two of our retail outlets.


Working closely with the Shops Manager, and in line with the strategic direction set by the Head of Retail, you will play a key role in helping deliver annual sales targets, maintaining high operational standards, and ensuring exceptional service for our customers.


The successful candidate will:

Be passionate about delivering an outstanding customer experience in a fast-paced environment. Have proven experience in the retail industry, ideally within a supervisory or team leader position. Be self-motivated, organised, and committed to driving sales performance and team engagement. Support the visual merchandising strategy to uphold the world-class presentation of St Andrews Links' retail stores.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career within a globally recognised organisation and play a part in sharing the unique heritage and experience of the Home of Golf with visitors from around the world.


St Andrews, separating the farmland and the dunes of the beach, was ideal for golf and, in 1552, Archbishop Hamilton issued a Charter formally recognising the right of the people of St Andrews to use the Links for golf.



Over centuries a recognised routing with set holes took shape and by 1764 18 holes were established, becoming the standard bearer for the game wherever it is played.



Over the next 250 years St Andrews Links would be transformed, undertaking a dramatic transformation of the golfing landscape with six further golf courses, three clubhouses, a state-of-the-art Golf Academy and five official stores, all making it the most renowned golf complex in the world.



If you love golf then there is no better place to work, however that isn't essential to be a success here. As a custodian of the Links, we don't need you to be a golfer, we simply need you to be brilliant at what you do and appreciate the game.
