You live in short-form video. TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are second nature to you. You understand hooks, pacing, music selection, captions, and why one edit takes off while another goes nowhere.
Just as important: you genuinely love golf. You watch YouTube golf the way other people watch Netflix. You care about instruction, entertainment, personality, and how to blend all three without producing generic golf content.
What you will be doing
Creating, editing, and publishing daily short-form vertical video
Shooting original content when required (on-course, range, studio, behind-the-scenes)
Re-cutting long-form and archive footage into platform-native formats
Testing trends, formats, AI tools, and new editing workflows quickly
Writing captions that drive reach, watch time, and engagement
Iterating based on performance data, not opinions
What matters
A strong reel or body of short-form work (degree not required)
Advanced vertical editing skills (Premiere Pro, CapCut, Final Cut etc)
Deep platform fluency and cultural awareness
High output, strong taste, minimal hand-holding
A real obsession with golf (playing experience strongly preferred)
Experience with, or interest in learning, AI tools or programming environments such as Claude Code is a bonus
Compensation
Additional note
If you happen to be a proven Executive Assistant who also matches this profile, with genuine golf interest and strong short-form video editing capability, please apply to this advert or to the Executive Assistant role listed on our website.
The upside
This role starts with execution, but the ceiling is high. You will work closely with elite instructors and creators, influence the creative direction of the brand, and help define how modern golf content reaches millions of players worldwide.
