Experience within travel, hospitality, events management, tour operations or logistics would be a strong advantage.

Experience coordinating suppliers, venues or multi-part projects would also be beneficial.

Knowledge of golf is useful but not essential. A willingness to learn about the game, golf destinations and the requirements of travelling golfers is more important.

The role is based at our office in Helensburgh, Scotland, and applicants should currently live within approximately one hour of the office. This is primarily an office-based role, with the expectation that the successful candidate will work from our Helensburgh office on a regular basis. Limited flexibility for occasional home working may be considered by agreement.
