​

The Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is seeking the services of a qualified individual to fill the position of Marketing & Communications Manager.   The Marketing & Communications Manager will have to connect with its three customers - the Junior Golfers (and their families), External (sponsors, media, public) and the close knit team of professionals that operate the tour. This position reports to the Director of Marketing and Administration and is a year-round full-time contracted position. While the MJT has had marketing support in the past, they are looking to make this a priority going forward and this is an expanded role.  

​

Do you love golf and have a passion for marketing?  If you are someone that has the ability to connect golfers to the sport via social media platforms, with website experience and overall marketing planning skills?  If so, then this might be the opportunity for you to combine your hobby and your career while helping our young generations of golfers develop on the golf course and in life.

The organization which started in 1999, hosts 100 events across Canada, including free Ford Go Golf Junior Clinics, the MJT Mini Tour for 12U and multi-day events for competitive players aged 11-19 which also offer qualifiers for international tournaments.  Their target market is young people who enjoy golf, specifically those who would like to improve their game by receiving good instruction and playing in competitive events.

​

The program has annual awards, scholarships and incentives to help reward performance and participation throughout each season. MJT alumni include many Professional Tour players and PGA of Canada Professionals, as well as Canadian Amateur, National and Provincial Junior Champions. The MJT aims to develop champions, in golf and in life, promoting the game from grassroots through to the provincial, national, university and professional levels.

​

The Position – 

As the Tour has grown, so have the needs to help promote the Tour to its players and sponsors.  Overall goal of position: 


•    boost participation in MJT membership and events 
•    raise awareness of MJT nationally and internationally
•    build social media presence and the brand
•    create and standardize MJT marketing procedures

 

Specifically: Ensure the brand image, messaging, and all communications via MJT marketing vehicles are consistent, professional and promote the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Association.
