The Rolex SailGP Championship is the most exciting racing on water, where anything can happen in short, adrenaline-fueled battles between national teams at iconic stadium destinations worldwide. Top athletes fly in identical high-tech F50 catamarans faster than the wind, at speeds approaching 60 mph. Founded in 2018, SailGP is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports and entertainment properties, now in its fifth season.


SailGP also races for a better future, championing a world powered by nature. In 2020, SailGP set a new standard as the first climate positive sports and entertainment property and began delivering actions and innovations that advance the global adoption of clean energy. Underpinning the organization’s purpose-driven agenda is a diversification of the league, with the goal of immediately progressing gender equity and inclusivity.


SailGP is a global organisation with defined values that shape the culture of its team – deliver quality, break boundaries, make an impact, stand together and strike a balance.

  • Act as the primary day-to-day contact for assigned partners, responding to servicing needs, requests, and communications in a timely manner.
  • Work with hospitality and operations teams to plan and deliver guest programs, including VIP hosting, brand ambassador integration, and event scheduling.
  • Represent SailGP at events, hosting partners across various experiences (e.g. hospitality facilities, tech base tours, on-water programs).
