Participation Coordinator – Golf NZ

This role presents an exciting opportunity to help shape the future participation growth of golf in the Manawatu Wanganui Golf region.

While sport is ingrained in the kiwi culture and it’s a core part of our heritage, there are many challenges ahead. Traditional sporting models and codes are under threat from rapid societal changes and global trends towards inactivity. The face of New Zealand is changing, and the way people want to engage in sport is changing.

Golf is not immune to the challenges facing sport. It’s crucial that the sport embraces the future and plans effectively to meet the changing needs of participants. This means not only sustaining what we currently have in terms of grass roots participation but delivering a sport that attracts a new generation of participants who develop a lifelong love of the game.

To address our future challenges, Golf New Zealand has set a new future strategy that, among other ambitions, has a desire to see an increased number of golf participants in New Zealand.

This role will join our regional workforce, based in Palmerston North, to provide critical coordination and support services as we set about implementing a wide range of initiatives and programmes that ultimately inspire New Zealander’s to participate in golf. This position requires an energetic and skilled individual who can lead others to achieve the outcomes of the role.
