Administrative Project Specialist

Job Description

Backed by McCourt Global and its Executive Chairman Frank McCourt, and shaped by leaders from equestrian sport, international competition, and entertainment, the PJL brings together the world’s top riders and horses to compete for the biggest prize pot in the discipline’s history ($300M guaranteed prize money across the first three seasons), across fourteen iconic venues in North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Designed to open the sport to new audiences whilst respecting its heritage, the PJL combines extraordinary athletic performance with premium entertainment, strengthened by the League’s partnership with Box to Box Films (the production company behind F1’s ‘Drive to Survive’), and supported by a free-to-view broadcasting model.

Our mission is to elevate jumping to its rightful place as a premier global sport – championing riders and horses with a merit-based, financially sustainable league that celebrates elite athletic performance, unlocks new opportunities, and brings fans closer to the power, precision, and beauty of jumping.

We are committed to raising standards, advancing welfare, innovating through technology, and honouring the heritage of the sport while creating an accessible, world-class experience for a new generation of global fans.

The Administrative Coordinator provides general support across the Sporting Operations team, which is based both in the US and the UK, to keep the day-to-day running of the Series – correspondence, records, meetings and stakeholder queries – moving.

From the 2027 launch onwards the emphasis shifts to supporting the team through every Event across the season.

This is a broad support role, and a strong entry point into international sport.
