Job description

Overview

Media Buying Manager (Golf) — Fully Remote (UK-based)

Do you live and breathe golf? Are you as comfortable optimising a paid media campaign as you are discussing the latest tour results or testing the newest driver? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

As Media Buying Manager, you’ll plan, buy, and optimise paid media campaigns that help golf brands reach and inspire their audiences.

Working closely with the PR, content, and creative team, you’ll help deliver integrated campaigns that amplify storytelling, showcase new products, and drive measurable results.

You’ll be hands-on with platforms like Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads, confident analysing performance, and always on the lookout for smarter, more creative ways to reach golfers where they play, watch, and connect.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and deliver paid media campaigns for golf and sports brands.
• Manage digital ad buys across Meta, Google, YouTube, and golf-specific publishers.
• Optimise campaigns to improve performance and ROI.
• Work closely with PR and creative teams to align paid and earned activity.
• Build relationships with golf and lifestyle media partners.
• Track spend and performance, providing clear reports and insights.
• Stay up to date with media trends and the latest in golf marketing and fan engagement.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years’ experience in media planning or buying (agency or brand side).
• Strong understanding of digital media platforms and analytics.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills.
• A proactive, detail-oriented, and collaborative approach.
• A keen golfer. Someone who knows the sport, follows it, and loves it.

What We Offer

• Fully remote working (UK-based).
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Opportunities to work with world-class golf brands and events.
• Supportive, creative, and passionate team culture.
• Ongoing learning and professional development.

If you’re ready to combine your passion for golf with your media expertise, we’d love to hear from you.
