MARKETING & BRAND ACTIVATION

Bring the brand to life everywhere golfers see us.

This role extends beyond sales, you will be a key driver of Golf category marketing. You’ll lead retail marketing, brand campaigns, social activations, creative asset development, PR support, and consumer touchpoints across the category.

You will:

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
