Sporting Clays Operations Manager
Location: Sylmar, CA (100% On-Site)
Compensation: $45,000 – $64,000 per year (based on experience)

Lead Operations at a Premier Outdoor Shooting Facility
Take ownership of a highly visible, hands-on leadership role where your operational judgment directly shapes a safe, organized, and welcoming experience. At Angeles Shooting Ranges Inc. in Sylmar, California, you will oversee daily operations for our Sporting Clays facility, guide a dependable team, and keep a sprawling outdoor course running smoothly.

We are looking for a resourceful "chief cook and bottle washer"—someone with extensive experience running a small business, managing a facility, or leading site operations who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves.

What Needs to Be Done:

• Run Daily Operations: Oversee opening and closing procedures, daily cash and accounting reconciliation, point-of-sale transactions, and inventory for ammunition, clay targets, rentals, and retail merchandise.
• Lead & Support the Team: Supervise, schedule, onboard, and coach range staff while handling basic HR duties and fostering a communicative, respectful workplace.
• Champion Range Safety: Enforce all safety protocols rigorously and inspect courses, paths, stations, and signage daily to maintain a spotless, hazard-free environment.
• Maintain Equipment & Grounds: Inspect and maintain rental shotguns, load and troubleshoot clay-target throwing machines, and coordinate preventive maintenance and repairs.
• Elevate the Guest Experience: Welcome seasoned marksmen and first-time shooters alike, calmly resolve guest questions, and help run tournaments, leagues, and group outings.
• Drive Facility Growth: Partner with executive management to boost customer participation, strengthen special events, and improve overall profitability.

What You Bring

• Proven Operational Grit: Background in small business management, facilities management, or site operations where you wore multiple hats and solved problems on the fly.
• Hands-On Mechanical Aptitude: Comfort inspecting equipment, troubleshooting outdoor machinery, and coordinating physical site maintenance.
• Strong Administrative Discipline: High reliability with financial auditing, daily cash reconciliation, inventory tracking, and safety documentation.
• Calm, Decisive Leadership: Ability to coach a team, de-escalate unusual situations professionally, and maintain a welcoming presence on-site.
• Basic Requirements: High school diploma or equivalent and a valid driver's license for work-related responsibilities. (Background in shotgun shooting sports or outdoor recreation is a big plus, though not strictly required).

You’ll Thrive Here If...

• You’re energized by fast-moving, outdoor work rather than sitting behind a desk all day.
• You’ve ever built something from scratch or kept a small business running smoothly.
• You enjoy being outside
• You take pride in being the dependable glue that holds an operation together.

Compensation & Perks

• Base Salary: $45,000 – $64,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
• Benefits: Flexible scheduling, holiday pay, and generous employee discounts.
