👋 Who are The Jockey Club?
The Jockey Club is one of the largest sports businesses operating in the UK today. With a history dating back to 1750, they own and run 15 of Britain’s leading racecourses — including Cheltenham, Aintree, Epsom Downs and Kempton Park — as well as The National Stud and other iconic parts of British racing culture.
They’re the people behind major sporting moments like the Cheltenham Festival, the Derby and the Grand National, but they do a lot more than that too — think live music, hospitality, venue operations, grounds and estates, digital media, and marketing.
"Whether you’re into events, customer experience, communications, or operations — there’s space for you here."
