Store Manager: Malbon Golf (Temp to Perm)

About the Brand

Malbon was born in Los Angeles during a transformative chapter in Stephen and Erica Malbon’s lives: parenthood. During this time, golf became more than just a game; it became a source of connection and purpose, providing a sense of grounding amidst a period of change. As their love for the sport deepened, they recognized both the beauty of its traditions and the opportunity to evolve them for a modern audience. Stephen and Erica sought to honor the heritage of golf while opening it up to a broader community, blending time-honored values with a fresh, creative spirit. Determined to push the game forward, they infused golf with the energy of fashion, music, art, and lifestyle sports. Their goal was to make golf inclusive and relevant to a new generation.

About the Role

We are seeking an innovative and results-driven Store Manager for our boutique powered by the Leap Platform, located on Randolph St. This leader will balance strategic business ownership with hands-on, client-focused leadership—driving sales performance while cultivating a warm, elevated in-store experience.
