The Farm & Forge Club is a brand new sports complex located in College Grove, TN (south of Nashville). A 65,000 square foot building with six indoor tennis courts opened in November 2025 and two equally sized buildings are under construction and will open in mid-2026: one for Human Performance (including strength & conditioning, recovery and physical therapy.), and another building with an additional six indoor tennis courts and space for schooling. Farm & Forge will also include a full-size football field, 18 outdoor hard tennis courts and six outdoor clay tennis courts.
Key aspects of Farm & Forge’s operation include:
Youth academy: high-performance academy model for youth to focus on a sport (i.e. tennis, track, etc.) while attending school (on-site with teachers) and receive strength & conditioning training.
Youth activities: after school programs, summer camps, etc.
Adult memberships: including access to state-of-the-art facilities, coaching, and training
On-site events including tournaments, court and field rentals, and community activities.
Farm & Forge’s mission is to teach people how to do hard things well, together. Its vision is to set a new standard for developing capable, grounded people through challenge, character and community.
Role Overview We’re hiring a Senior Marketing Manager who will be our first in-house marketing lead. Someone who can blend creativity with strategy, set the tone for our brand voice, and build a marketing engine that brings new families and members into the club. This role is ideal for a marketer who loves being both the architect and the builder, can build systems from the ground up, and is comfortable translating high-level strategy into day-to-day execution.
This role will help drive growth for our full-time academy of competitive athletes from across the world in a variety of sports, and also grow our general community membership base. With big ambitions over the next few years, we’re building a brand and experience that stands out in the U.S. sports and wellness landscape, and we’re looking for someone who knows how to make noise in all the right ways.
