Freedom Boat Club - Business Development Center Representative

Are you ready for what’s next?

Come explore opportunities within Brunswick, a global marine leader committed to challenging conventions and innovating next-generation technologies that transform experiences on the water and beyond. Brunswick believes “Next Never Rests™,” and we offer a variety of exciting careers and growth opportunities within united teams defining the future of marine recreation.

Company Background:

Over the past several years, Brunswick has completed a significant transformation of its business, evolving from a recreational portfolio company with several large divisions operating in disparate markets, to a pure-play marine operating company – the authentic leader in the marine industry. Within this operating model, the purpose of the Business Acceleration division is to expand and diversify marine participation and generate new sources of value for Brunswick through boating services and business model innovation. Business Acceleration primarily focuses on end consumer solutions (B2C) and opportunities that increase new boater participation.

The acquisition of Freedom Boat Club in May 2019 was a game-changer and established Brunswick (and Business Acceleration) as a leader in boat clubs and the Boating-as-a-Service marketplace. The business is exceeding growth, financial and synergy targets. Significant growth opportunities remain in the U.S., Canada and EMEA through a company operated and franchise business model. Over the past few years, Freedom has completed a series of acquisitions of franchise-operated Freedom Boat Clubs and converted them to company-operated, thereby generating regional “super territories” that now include over 15 corporate clubs to manage, operate, scale, and unlock operating efficiencies.
