The PJL is a groundbreaking global 16-team competition defining a new era for showjumping.
Backed by Mc Court Global and its Executive Chairman Frank Mc Court, 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.
Cutting-edge technology, radical transparency, and modern team formats enhance the drama, intensity, and rivalry that define elite sport – unlocking the full potential of jumping, demanded by today’s global sports and entertainment marketplace, without compromising its core values.
Our Mission
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.
About the Role
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.

- Collate information from colleagues and partners for internal summaries and reports.
- Raise purchase orders and process invoices as necessary.
- Events
- Provide general administrative support across the Event weekend, including accreditation, guest lists and the Event office.
- Contribute to post-Event summaries, and help feed learnings into the next Event.

- Administrative or team support experience in a sporting or events environment.
- Strong organisational skills, and the ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping detail.
