About The Position

About GOLF+ GOLF+ is building the leading platform for off-course golf. What began as the premier VR golf experience is now evolving into a multi-platform ecosystem spanning VR, simulator golf, and flatscreen experiences - serving millions of golfers worldwide. Since our launch in 2020, we’ve had nearly 2 million downloads and over 4 billion shots hit in the game. We are the official VR partner of the PGA Tour, following investment from strategic partners including Ben Crenshaw, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Mike Trout. Our team is moving fast and expanding, and this is an exciting time to join us on our journey to shape the future of off course golf. In 2026, our focus is on expansion: successfully launching GOLF+ on simulator and flatscreen platforms, while continuing to invest in the long-term VR vision. This role will be central to making those launches successful and establishing GOLF+ as a credible, differentiated entrant across the broader golf ecosystem. The Role We’re hiring a Growth Lead to own growth strategy and hands-on execution across platforms, with a near-term emphasis on new simulator and flatscreen product launches. This is a role for someone early in their career who is exceptionally sharp, creative, analytical, and motivated to take ideas from concept through execution. You’ll report directly to the President and work closely with an existing Product Marketing Manager, product, analytics, finance, and partnerships. This role is intentionally hands-on - you’ll be expected to design experiments, execute quickly, and turn early wins into repeatable growth systems. This is not a purely strategic or advisory role. We’re looking for someone who wants to build, test, and learn in real time.
