You’ll be creating bespoke itineraries that we hope will transform our travellers’ relationship with golf, inspiring discovery and setting the scene for unforgettable shared experiences. Golf is at the heart of our offering and the best courses sit at the heart of each trip, but that’s far from the limit of our product philosophy; satisfying the luxury traveller, whether a golfer or not, requires due care and attention to each minute of the day. Our growing portfolio of experiences is truly global, as are our customers.

It will be your responsibility to craft programmes that cater to the interests of the group in question, recommending destinations that you know will resonate, complete with the most appropriate accommodation, transportation, dining, activities and excursions that combine to form the perfect experience whilst also uncovering the essence of the local culture. You’ll work with suppliers directly and via DMCs, building and managing relationships that we can leverage to create unique access for our travellers.

We will encourage you to travel, attending trade shows as a buyer and visiting the destinations we are interested in selling. This could be anywhere from Dublin to the Dominican Republic. You’ll then take responsibility for educating our teams – your fellow product team members and our sales, marketing and operations staff.

*Ideal candidates will have work experience in the luxury travel industry and an interest in, or understanding of, golf (player or spectator). A commercial and creative approach plus great communication skills both in person and digitally are expected, as is the desire to learn, develop and make a genuine contribution to a growing team.

**We are seeking candidates ideally based at our London HQ, as we believe in the strength of in-person collaboration and the added value it brings to our team culture. Being on-site also provides access to some of our top company benefits. However, for the right candidate, we are open to considering being based from our St Andrews office or hybrid working arrangements depending on experience and role requirements.
