KZG | San Diego, California Are you creative, ambitious, passionate about marketing—and maybe a little obsessed with golf? KZG is looking for someone special to help us build the next chapter of our brand. We are a family-owned golf equipment company with more than 30 years in the industry, specializing in premium custom-fit golf equipment sold through highly skilled professional clubfitters and builders around the world. We are now expanding in San Diego and preparing to substantially increase KZG's marketing presence in the U.S. and internationally. This is not simply a social-media job. We are looking for someone who wants the opportunity to help build a brand, create new marketing programs, develop an audience and grow with the company. For the right person, this could become a very big position. You Could Be a Recent Graduate We are absolutely open to an exceptional recent marketing graduate who is bright, creative, technologically savvy, full of ideas and ready to run with an opportunity. You don't need 10 years of experience if you can show us that you understand today's marketing world and know how to capture people's attention. Maybe you've been creating videos, growing social-media accounts, experimenting with AI, following influencers, studying digital advertising or developing your own projects while you were in school. We care much more about what you can do and how you think than how many years you've been doing it. For an ambitious young marketer, this is a chance to do much more than become another junior employee in a large marketing department. You could have the opportunity to make your mark, help grow an established international golf brand and potentially make a name for yourself in the golf industry.

We want to aggressively expand our YouTube and social-media presence with interesting, entertaining and educational content about golf equipment, club fitting, swing characteristics, equipment selection and how the right equipment can make a major difference in a golfer's game. We don't want someone who simply waits to be told what to post. We want the person who comes to us and says, "I have an idea."
