- Introduce tournament opportunities and build relationships with prospective partners through emails, phone calls, meetings, and in-person visits.
- Support sponsorship discussions, follow-ups, and relationship management.
- Assist in developing long-term partnerships with companies, golf clubs, academies, coaches, and other organizations.
Research, Outreach & Reporting
- Conduct online research to identify potential players, sponsors, partners, and relevant industry contacts; develop and maintain organized contact lists.
- Draft professional outreach emails and follow-up communications; make outbound calls and schedule meetings.

- Prepare regular progress updates and reports for management.

- Organized, responsible, self-motivated, and able to follow up consistently on multiple contacts.
- Able to work full-time on-site at the Aurora office; willing to travel locally for meetings, visits, and golf events.
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation preferred.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with golf, golf tournaments, golf clubs, golf academies, or sports events — especially experience organizing golf events.
- Experience in sales, business development, recruiting, customer service, event operations, sponsorship, or community outreach.
- Existing connections within the golf community are a strong asset.
