Championships Development Programme 2027

We are excited to launch The AELTC's Championships Development Programme 2027. We are committed to creating more entry level roles in the sports and events industry and offering exposure to the internal workings of delivering a world-leading sports event. We have opportunities available in a wide range of business areas including Operations, Recruitment, Estate, Marketing & Commercial, Technology and many more. Throughout the business we are passionate about creating an outstanding experience for our members, employees, year-round guests, and everyone who visits The Championships. So, if you share our passion and have a guest-focused approach, we'd love to hear from you.

The programme will start on Wednesday 03 February 2026 for a fixed period working on a full-time basis Monday to Friday with occasional weekends and longer working hours during The Championships (28 June 2027 - 11 July 2027). You can find more information about each role on the job advert, listed by Department. If shortlisted, you will be invited to attend an in person Assessment Centre at The AELTC on Tuesday 17 November or Wednesday 18 November. Please note, at this time we will not be facilitating online interviews, so if you are unable to attend an on-site Assessment Centre, your application will not be shortlisted. This vacancy will close on Sunday 25 October and we will not accept any late applications.
