Full job description

Sand Valley is a golf resort and community settled gently upon 12,000 acres of rugged, pre-historic sand dunes in central Wisconsin. Here, residents and guests will find six world-class golf courses built in harmony with the land: Sand Valley, Mammoth Dunes, Sandbox, The Lido, Sedge Valley, and Commons. Founded in 2016 by brothers Michael and Chris Keiser, the resort is known for its friendly hospitality and a community of golf and outdoor enthusiasts who have been drawn to the raw beauty and serenity of the vast Wisconsin Wilderness.

Beyond premier golf, Sand Valley is a year-round celebration of all the outdoors from fat-tire biking, hiking, and kayaking to ice hockey, skating, or a guided cold plunge. The resort now features a 13,000-square-foot Tennis Center with 16 grass tennis courts and the eleventh Court Tennis facility in the United States. Alongside soul-stirring golf and outdoor exploration, Sand Valley offers a variety of savory dining venues showcasing globally inspired and rustic Wisconsin cuisine.

The Sand Valley team works together to create experiences of a lifetime by asking questions and sharing ideas. With authenticity and a hard-working attitude, Sand Valley helps guide guests through an immersive experience in Wisconsin's natural beauty and away from the demands of daily life.

Establish consistent internal editorial planning (content calendar, campaign planning, key message architecture) to ensure timely and coordinated communications.

Manage content for the company intranet and other internal communication channels—ensuring they are accurate, current, engaging, and easy to navigate.

Support change communications and, as needed, crisis communications planning (message coordination, timing, manager enablement).

Collaborate with HR and leadership to support employee engagement initiatives, including culture-building moments, events, and recognition.
Serve as a liaison between teammates and leadership by gathering feedback, surfacing themes, and helping close the loop through clear follow-up communications.
Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate our employer brand across all touchpoints in the employee journey (recruitment, onboarding, training, retention).
Create content and collateral that communicates our company story, culture, values, and benefits in a compelling, authentic way.
Lead development and refinement of an Employer Value Proposition (EVP)—defining what makes Sand Valley a unique place to work and translating that into recruiting and internal messaging.
Help define and reinforce company culture by identifying core values, behaviors, and stories—and ensuring they show up in how we communicate and engage employees.
