Our client's new online platform is the international destination for golf fans created by one of the global leaders in real-life entertainment, in partnership with the PGA TOUR. The first-of-its-kind digital platform, which launches in January 2019, will include a dedicated video streaming service, ensuring you can watch many of golf's most exciting professional tournaments, players and moments anytime, anywhere on every screen and device.

This new venture will seek to create a worldwide home for all things golf, with new content and features added on a regular basis to build it into the ultimate fan experience.


About the Role

Our client is looking for a Web Producer with excellent interpersonal skills to manage, edit, prepare and publish a constant stream of content to the company's new global golf-media platform.

Past experience with production of digital golf content and website content management is a must; a golf-journalism background is a plus.

6. Work with the internal research team to conduct regular health checks on current programming and make recommendations on distribution, positioning and creative direction based on the data.
7. Make sure the pipeline of new content is well maintained, and that archival content is effectively resurfaced.
