Sales & Business Development Manager - Corporate & Promotional – all genders welcome!

About the Job

Join us in reshaping the future of golf! Vice Golf has already proven that the opportunity for Corporate & Promotional Sales exists through our customization business, Retail Sales network and first promotional industry partners.

Now we want to build on these learnings, scale what works and turn Corporate & Promotional Sales into a significant B2B business for Vice Golf.

We are looking for an ambitious Sales & Business Development Manager (all genders welcome) who enjoys winning new customers, testing new routes to market and building something that does not yet have a finished playbook.

You do not need to tick every box. You may bring experience from promotional products or merchandise, proven B2B sales skills, or a strong commercial background in golf, sporting goods or lifestyle. What matters is that you can sell, learn quickly and turn opportunities into business.

This is an opportunity to join early, build the commercial foundations and grow with the business as we invest further in this area.

Your CV tells us what you have done. We want to understand why those experiences make you the right person for this role. So make your application your own: Tailor your CV, tell us about your most relevant achievement, or surprise us with a short presentation. This is not a design contest. We are interested in how you think, what you bring to the table, and what you want to achieve at Vice.

Where you might come from

There is no single perfect background for this role. We are especially interested if one of the following profiles describes you:

• Promotional & Merchandise: You have worked in promotional products, corporate gifting, textile customization, branded merchandise, or an event or advertising agency and understand how customer-specific projects come together.

• B2B Sales: You are a Sales Manager, Account Executive, New Business or Business Development professional with a proven ability to approach prospects and win new customers.

• Golf, Sports & Lifestyle: You have sales or business development experience in golf, sporting goods or lifestyle, understand the market and ideally bring a relevant network.

Your Fairway

• Grow our Corporate & Promotional business by actively identifying, approaching and winning new customers and partners.

• Own opportunities from first contact to proposal, negotiation and order, and build relationships that create repeat business.

• Test different customer segments, offers and routes to market, learn quickly from results and scale what works.

• Develop creative Vice solutions for companies, events and partners, from customized golf balls and clubs to accessories, bundles, gifting concepts and new ideas.

• Build relationships with companies, promotional product distributors, merchandise partners, agencies and relevant industry networks.

• Use our D2C customization business and international Retail Sales network to identify leads and unlock additional B2B opportunities.

• Work closely with Sales, D2C, Marketing, Product, Design and Operations to turn customer ideas into commercially viable solutions.

• Help simplify the customer journey and turn successful approaches into clear, repeatable sales processes.

• Use CRM, AI and digital tools to find leads, understand the market, manage your pipeline and work smarter.

• Bring market feedback into the business and help shape the next stage of Corporate & Promotional Sales, including new capabilities, scalable processes and future team growth as the business develops.

Your Scorecard

We are not looking for the perfect CV. We are looking for the right mindset and personality.

• Sales drive: You enjoy opening doors, speaking with customers and turning ideas into revenue.

• Builder mindset: You are comfortable creating structure while the business model is still developing.

• Ownership: You take responsibility from idea to execution and do not wait for a perfect brief.
