Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the development and upkeep of AZ GOLF's social publishing calendar, ensuring a strategic, well-paced content mix that engages members and fans year-round
  • Build platform-specific editorial approaches rooted in storytelling, community, and Arizona golf culture across Instagram, Facebook and YouTube while identifying opportunities in platforms currently not utilized
  • Manage day-to-day community engagement — comments, DMs, mentions, and tags — fostering an informative and welcoming online community for members and golf fans
  • Identify and coordinate content collaborations with members & event participants, sponsors, the USGA, and other strategic accounts to extend AZ GOLF's reach to new audiences
  • Shoot and produce photo and video content at AZ GOLF championships, social events, member club activities, and Foundation programs
  • Edit and package footage into recap videos, social-ready clips, highlight reels, and behind-the-scenes content
  • Maintain consistent visual standards (style, color, framing, sound) across all photo and video output
  • Manage production logistics for events — equipment, shot lists, scheduling, and on-site coordination
  • Own content updates, page builds, and editorial content for the AZ GOLF website, keeping championship results, blog posts, programs, and Foundation stories current and easy to find
  • Develop long-form and feature storytelling — athlete and member profiles, championship narratives and Foundation impact stories — that connects across web, email, and social

Requirements

  • 2–4+ years of experience in digital content & social media for a brand, sports organization, media property, or similar — golf or sports industry experience strongly preferred
  • A portfolio demonstrating strong photography, video production/editing, editorial judgment and content that has performed well across digital and social media platforms
  • Working knowledge of a CMS (e.g., Hubspot or similar) for managing website content
  • Proficiency with photo/video editing tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite or equivalent) and digital asset management practices
  • A working understanding of what makes content succeed on each major platform — part art, part science
  • Experience building and managing content calendars, community management workflows, and social reporting/analytics
  • Strong storytelling instincts, with the ability to adapt voice across contexts (championship excitement vs. personality spotlights vs. Foundation impact stories)
  • Comfort working both strategically (calendar planning, reporting, trend analysis) and hands-on (shooting, editing, posting, real-time engagement)
  • Ability to travel to and work on-site at AZ GOLF championships and events, including some evenings and weekends during tournament season
  • Spends a significant amount of time in an office setting, routinely using standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, filing cabinets and fax machines
