The University of Southern Maine invites applications for a part-time, seasonal Head Women’s Golf Coach to lead and grow our NCAA Division III women’s golf program within the Little East Conference. This role is ideal for a coach who is passionate about student-athlete development and excited to build a competitive, values-driven program. The Head Women’s Golf Coach provides leadership, mentorship, and strategic direction for the program while fostering an environment where student-athletes are challenged, supported, and empowered to succeed both on the course and in the classroom.

The coach oversees all aspects of the women’s golf program, including planning and conducting practices, coaching competitions and tournaments, traveling with the team, and developing effective recruitment and retention strategies.
